Groby, East Midlands • England
Just north-west of Leicester in Leicestershire, England, Groby is a big East Midlands village in the LE postcode area, a few minutes from the A50 with the M1 close by. Crews working Leicester itself, or the corridor up towards Loughborough and across to Burton upon Trent, often prefer a village base like this over city accommodation. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses in and around Groby with bills, Wi-Fi and parking in our name, and your company gets one monthly invoice.
Groby grew steadily through the last century, so the stock is mostly practical: 1930s semis, post-war estate houses and newer closes around the village edges, with a handful of older properties near the centre. The semis and newer houses are the crew winners - driveways, decent kitchens, gardens for gear, and usually a downstairs WC alongside the bathroom. We rule out anything with shared access, permit parking or bedrooms that only fit a single bed with the door open.
Groby's pull is simple: it sits between jobs. Leicester brings construction, healthcare and university-related work; the M1 corridor at junctions 21 and 22 carries logistics and distribution shifts; the A50 links manufacturing towns across to Burton upon Trent; and the villages between here and Hinckley keep rural crews busy with housing development, utilities and highways work. A crew based in Groby can take jobs in any of those directions without moving house.
The A50 is the village's main link, running into Leicester one way and towards Markfield, Coalville and Burton the other. The M1 at junction 21 or 22 opens the national network, and the A46 western bypass loops around Leicester towards the M69 and M6. Leicester city centre is roughly six miles, Loughborough about nine, and Burton around fifteen. Crew arriving by train use Leicester station, and we shortlist by timed drive from site so a cheap house twenty minutes the wrong way never makes the cut.
Whole house, all bills in our name - gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband - with Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in. Parking is verified against your vehicles, houses for five or more come with two bathrooms, and a weekly clean plus fresh linen keeps standards up. Maintenance calls go to us, any day of the week - not to your office, and not to the crew at nine on a Sunday night.
Billing is one monthly invoice, paid by card covering rent and all bills, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay. The crew pay nothing at the house and no deposits are required. Give us the site address, the headcount and the start date, and a confirmed shortlist of available houses follows within two hours during working hours.
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.
Groby itself plus Ratby, Kirby Muxloe, Glenfield and Braunstone, and across Leicester when the site justifies it. South and west of Leicester we also cover towards Enderby and Narborough. The shortlist follows the site and the morning traffic, not the map pin, so tell us where the gate is.
Two hours during working hours from the details - site address, crew size, vehicles, start date. We confirm availability first, so what lands in your inbox is bookable, not aspirational. If timing is tight, call and we will start immediately.
Yes - Groby's semis and newer estates are good for it, and parking against your actual vehicles is a standard filter on every shortlist. We avoid anything with permit bays, shared drives too small for a van, or parking a street away from the front door.
Everything domestic is included: gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband, all in our name. The Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and the whole lot rolls into your one monthly invoice - nobody on site pays a penny or opens a utility account.
Yes, card payment is standard. One monthly invoice covers rent and every bill, sent straight to your accounts team. No booking fees and no per-person hotel extras to reconcile at month end - the invoice is the complete cost of the stay.
We do. Weekly cleans, fresh linen, and a maintenance line your crew can call direct. If the boiler goes on a Sunday, it is our Sunday to fix - not something site management needs to know about until it is done.
