Havant, South East • England
The A27 runs straight through Havant, a Hampshire town in the South East of England in the PO postcode area, a few miles short of the M27 between Portsmouth and Chichester. Waterlooville and Emsworth border it, Hayling Island sits just offshore, and Portsmouth is a ten-minute drive east. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses and flats for crews working around Havant — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, one monthly invoice.
Havant's housing is mostly post-war: solid semis around Bedhampton, the big Leigh Park estate to the north, and smaller terraces and flats closer to the centre. The older streets near town can be short on parking, so for crews we usually start with the semis — three bedrooms, a drive for two vans, a garden for drying kit. Each house we shortlist is walked through and checked for parking, heating and a kitchen built for a working crew.
We also look across the borough — Waterlooville, Emsworth and out towards Hayling Island — because that widens the choice when Havant itself is tight and often lands a house with easier parking and quicker access to your site. We will always be straight about drive times from each address before you commit. It also means a changed site is our problem to re-plan around, not yours to drive between.
Crews around Havant are usually tied to the Portsmouth conurbation: construction and housing development, port and marine-related logistics, rail maintenance, warehousing and manufacturing around the M27, and NHS and healthcare shifts across the city. We keep it generic on purpose, but the through-line is practical work needing a proper base within easy reach of the coast road. Much of it runs to shift patterns set by tide, train and deadline.
Havant is also a good fixed point for crews whose jobs move. One house here covers Portsmouth one week, Chichester the next, and the villages in between, without anyone packing a bag. Give us the rough map of your sites and we will shortlist addresses that keep the longest regular run under control. It also keeps the crew near suppliers and stores along the coast road when the job eats materials.
The A27 runs straight past town, east to Chichester in about twenty minutes and west into Portsmouth in ten. The M27 is a few miles on, opening Southampton and the M3, and the A3(M) heads north towards Petersfield and London. Havant station has direct trains to Portsmouth, Brighton and London Victoria — handy for staff changes and head-office visits. The island road adds a few minutes but no drama.
Crews live by the van, so we shortlist on real drive time from your site, not map distance. Send the postcode and we rank each house by the actual morning run, whether the job is in Portsmouth, up towards Waterlooville or out along the coast road towards Emsworth. We also sanity-check the evening run, because a good end-of-day drive matters as much as the morning one.
The let is the whole property, always. Bills — council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband — go in our name, so there is nothing to split or chase on site. Wi-Fi is tested before the crew arrive, parking is checked against the real vehicles, and five or more in the house means two bathrooms. The weekly clean and fresh linen come as standard.
Anything that breaks is our problem, through one number with a 24/7 emergency line. Your side of it is one monthly invoice, paid by card: no booking fees, no minimum crew or stay, and quotes inside a couple of hours. If dates move, extensions are usually a short message away. The paperwork stays identical however long the job actually runs.
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.
Send the site postcode, crew size and dates, and we will come back within two working hours with whole houses that fit. Each has been checked in person for parking, heating and a working kitchen. There is no charge for a shortlist or a quote, and no obligation to book.
All of them — Bedhampton, Leigh Park, Waterlooville, Emsworth, and across to Hayling Island when the job needs it. Wider afield we regularly place crews in Portsmouth, Chichester and along the A27. Everything is ranked by real drive time from your site, so you can weigh location against the morning commute.
Yes. Tell us the shift pattern when you enquire and we shortlist houses that suit it — solid walls or detached plots where possible, parking that does not disturb the street, and neighbours used to shift workers. Check-in times flex around ferry, tunnel and port schedules too.
Yes — council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband all sit in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and fair use means the crew can stream, call home and run a laptop without watching a meter. It all rolls into one monthly invoice with no splitting or chasing on site.
Extensions are usually straightforward. Tell us as soon as you know and we will hold the house where we can or line up a swap nearby. Notice periods and any change in cost are set out in your quote, so a slipping programme never means a surprise bill.
No. Small crews are as welcome as big ones, and short stays as welcome as long ones — we will tell you honestly if a short let changes the price. The house, bills, Wi-Fi, parking check, weekly clean and linen all work the same however many of you there are.
