Hambleton, East Midlands • England
Between Oakham and the southern edge of Rutland Water, Hambleton is a village in Rutland, England - the East Midlands' smallest county, inside the LE postcode area. Crews working across Rutland, towards Stamford or anywhere on the A1 corridor get a rural base here with the county's fast roads close by. KrewBase sources whole serviced houses around Hambleton and Oakham with bills, Wi-Fi and parking in our name, and your company gets one monthly invoice.
Hambleton is a classic Rutland village - older stone houses and cottages around the core, with newer family houses and small developments filling in behind. For crews, the newer stock works best: driveways for vans, four bedrooms more often than three, and modern bathrooms including a second one or at least a downstairs loo. Rutland villages are small, so if nothing in Hambleton fits we widen the shortlist to Oakham and the surrounding villages rather than forcing a bad fit.
Rutland keeps crews busy with a rural mix: construction and housing development in Oakham, Uppingham and the larger villages; farm building and agricultural infrastructure work across the county; water and utilities work around Rutland Water; and the logistics and distribution shifts clustered near the A1 around Stamford, just over the border. Healthcare and school projects in Oakham and the market towns add to it. The work is steady rather than flashy, and a well-placed crew house serves all of it.
The A606 runs through Oakham towards Melton Mowbray and Nottingham one way, and to Stamford and the A1 the other - the A1 is roughly ten minutes east, and the A47 towards Peterborough a little beyond. Leicester is around twenty miles west and Nottingham about thirty to the north-east. Oakham station, a short drive away, sits on the Birmingham-Stansted line for crew rotations, and we check real drive times before shortlisting because Rutland's pretty lanes are not always quick ones.
Every house is let whole with all domestic bills in our name - gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband, with Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in. Parking is matched to the vehicles you send us, crews of five or more get two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen is part of the service. Maintenance is our job for the entire stay.
Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card covering rent and every bill, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay. The crew pay nothing at the house. Send the site address, headcount and start date, and a confirmed shortlist of available houses comes back inside two hours during working hours, with availability confirmed before anything is sent.
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.
Hambleton is covered, along with Oakham and the Rutland villages - Edith Weston, Manton, Empingham and the Cottesmore side. Village availability is thinner than in a town, so we confirm houses are genuinely available before anything reaches your shortlist rather than sending hopeful guesses.
Within two hours during working hours, once we have the site address, crew size, vehicles and start date. If the perfect house is not free that week, we say so and send the nearest good alternatives rather than padding the list.
We treat parking as a hard filter, not a nice-to-have. Rutland lanes and older cottages can be awkward, so every shortlisted property is checked against your vehicle list before it is sent - driveways preferred, tight lanes and grass verges ruled out.
Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband, all in our name and included in the one monthly invoice. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, and the crew pay nothing at the property - no meters, no top-up cards, no expenses, no arguments about who used the heating.
Usually, yes. Extensions are a normal part of contract work - tell us as soon as you know and we will extend the current house or move the crew to another bills-in property nearby if it is booked. The more notice, the smoother it goes.
For anything beyond a few nights, yes: a house works out cheaper per person than a block of hotel rooms, gives the crew a kitchen and living room, and handles night-shift comings and goings without disturbing anyone. It also scales down to small crews without penalty.
