Heslington, Yorkshire and the Humber • England
Heslington sits two miles south-east of York, England in Yorkshire and the Humber, a village wrapped around the University of York's campus and served by the A64. In the YO postcode area, it gives crews quick access into York, Fulford and the wider east Yorkshire corridor without city-centre prices or parking fights. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice for your company — whether the job runs a fortnight or the best part of a year.
Heslington and its immediate neighbours — Fulford, Osbaldwick and the newer estates towards Clifton Moor — offer a solid mix of modern family homes, brick terraces and purpose-built flats. The bigger semis on the village fringes and the estates off the A64 tend to work best for crews: off-street parking for two or three vans, spare rooms for rotation, and quick access to the ring road.
We filter every property for parking against the actual vehicles you'll bring, check broadband speeds properly rather than trusting the listing, and walk away from anything where crews would be sharing one cramped bathroom. Because the university keeps demand for decent rentals high here, we also confirm the landlord is genuinely comfortable with a working crew — no nervous agents, no mid-job surprises.
Most crews we place in this part of the YO postcode area are working across York and east Yorkshire — construction and housing development, university and public-estate maintenance, rail work along the east coast corridor, and the steady stream of healthcare and logistics contracts that a city the size of York generates. Crews working across Yorkshire and the Humber use Heslington as a quiet base rather than paying city-centre rates for a room over a pub.
The A64 runs right past the village, so crews heading into York, out towards Malton and the coast, or west to the A1(M) are moving within minutes. York station is a short drive for anyone on rail jobs, and the city centre is close enough that a ten-minute van run beats fighting for parking in town. The park-and-ride sites along the A64 are a handy fallback when the centre is snarled up.
When a site sits further out, we simply shortlist by drive time rather than postcode, so the house lands within a sensible commute of wherever the gang is booked in. If the job moves — say from a York site to something out towards Pocklington — we review the base rather than leaving the crew with an extra hour on the road every day.
KrewBase takes the whole property on one agreement: rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband all sit in our name, not yours. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is checked against the actual vehicles on the job — a five-bed with one driveway space is no use to a crew with three vans. For five or more we insist on two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with linen change comes as standard. Maintenance is our phone call, not yours. You get one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay.
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.
Once we know your site, headcount and start date, we typically send a shortlist of suitable whole houses or flats within two working hours. For a straightforward crew of four to six around Heslington or York, we can usually have keys ready before the end of the week.
Yes. We shortlist by drive time, so crews based in Heslington can just as easily be housed in Fulford, Osbaldwick, Copmanthorpe or the A64 corridor if that puts them closer to site. We suggest the areas, you pick the property.
Parking is checked against your actual vehicles before we offer anything. Most houses around Heslington and the nearby estates have driveways for two or three vans, and we'll say so plainly on the shortlist rather than leaving your driver to chance it.
Yes — council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are all in our name and rolled into your one monthly invoice. We speed-test the Wi-Fi before anyone checks in, so nobody arrives to find the router belongs to the last tenant.
That's exactly how it works. One monthly invoice to your company or the agency, paid by card, covering rent and every bill. No deposits for individual crew members, no expense claims, no chasing receipts. If the crew changes mid-job, the invoice just carries on — you tell us who's in the house and we handle the rest.
No. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months — we price by the property and the stay, not by some threshold. If the job overruns, extending is usually a quick phone call as long as the house is still available.
