Great Yarmouth, East of England • England
Where the Norfolk Broads meet the North Sea, Great Yarmouth is a working coastal town in the NR postcode area, and the end of the road for the A12. KrewBase houses working crews in whole serviced properties here — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking for the vans, and one monthly invoice. With the offshore energy sector, a busy port and steady construction work along the coast, crews can be in and out for months at a time.
The town's housing runs from Victorian terraces in the older districts to post-war semis and modern estates further out, with plenty of chalet-style homes scattered around the edges. Crews tend to do well in the semis and estates — drives for vans, space between neighbours, and quick access to the A47 or the seafront depending on where the job sits. We shortlist whole houses only: real bedrooms, a kitchen that feeds the whole crew, and two bathrooms when five or more are staying, because mornings run on hot water and patience is in short supply at half six.
Offshore wind and the wider energy sector keep a rolling population of technicians and support crews in town, alongside the port's logistics and maintenance work, seasonal tourism refurbishments, and the constant round of coastal defence, highways and housing projects across Norfolk's east coast. Healthcare support and facilities work at the town's hospital adds to it. Whatever the contract, crews need a proper base rather than a seafront B&B — a whole house with a washing machine, a freezer and a door that locks, which is the gap we fill.
The A47 heads west to Norwich in around half an hour and links to the A11 and the Midlands; the A12 finishes here from London via Lowestoft. The Wherry Line runs to Norwich for rail connections in and out. Most of the town's industrial estates and the port are a short drive from the residential areas, so commutes are rarely long — but we still shortlist by drive time from your actual site, whether that's in town or out towards the coast road villages, because the right house in the wrong place is still the wrong house.
The whole property — house or flat — with bills in our name: council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is checked against your actual vehicles, and a crew of five or more gets two bathrooms. A weekly clean and fresh linen come as standard, and any maintenance is our job, not the crew's, from a leaking tap to a boiler on a cold Norfolk morning. If anything breaks, the crew reports it once and we chase it to fixed — nobody on site plays landlord, and nothing about the house becomes the gaffer's problem.
Your business gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay. Give us the site postcode, headcount and dates and we'll return a shortlist within two working hours — a handful of houses we've checked ourselves, with parking, bathrooms and broadband noted so you can pick on facts rather than estate-agent photos, and there are no surprises buried in the small print.
Send us the requirement — town, dates, headcount, vehicles and any shift pattern we should know about. We come back within 2 hours with a shortlist from property we already hold, not a search we have just started. You pick, we confirm, the crew moves in, and we stay on it for the length of the job. One monthly invoice, card payment for limited companies, no booking fees.
Yes — two working hours for a shortlist once we have the site postcode, crew size and dates. Because we take whole properties, there's no waiting on rooms; once you've picked, keys are usually ready within days, and the crew can be sleeping properly before the week's out.
The whole town — the older districts, the estates, and out towards Gorleston, Bradwell and Caister — plus commutable villages along the coast and the A47 corridor towards Norwich. We shortlist by drive time from the site, so a crew working out towards the coast road isn't dragged back through town every night.
Off-road parking is a must on our list. We measure the drive against the vehicles you're bringing and won't offer anywhere that leaves a van on the street overnight. Most estate and semi properties here take two or three vehicles without trouble, and we note the exact arrangement on the shortlist so there are no surprises.
Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are all included and held in our name. Broadband is speed-tested before check-in — coastal town speeds vary from street to street, so we test every house rather than assume. Your business gets one monthly invoice and the crew pays nothing at the property.
Usually, yes. The let is in our name, so extensions are a conversation, not a negotiation with a landlord. If the property genuinely can't extend, we'll source an equivalent and manage the move so the crew's work isn't interrupted. It helps to flag likely rotation changes at enquiry, as it keeps every option open.
We do. Weekly cleans keep the place straight, and anything that breaks goes to our maintenance contacts — heating, appliances, locks, the lot. The crew reports it once and we chase it to done. It never lands as an extra on your invoice, and nobody on site has to spend a morning phoning trades.
