Hetton, North East • England
Hetton — usually called Hetton-le-Hole — sits between Sunderland and Durham in the DH postcode area, just off the A182. It's a former mining town whose crews now travel out to sites across the North East. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses and flats with bills, Wi-Fi and parking in, billed to your company as one monthly invoice rather than a stack of receipts.
Hetton-le-Hole is built from mining-era terraces and solid brick semis, with newer estates filling the gaps between the old colliery villages — East Rainton and Newbottle are minutes away and offer similar stock. For crews, the semis and newer houses are the sweet spot: off-street parking on the estates, three bedrooms as standard, and quick routes out to the A182 and A19. Every property we shortlist has to pass checks on parking, kitchen size and bathroom count before it reaches your list.
This corner of the North East sits within easy reach of Sunderland, Durham and the Teesside fringe, so crews based in Hetton work across the lot — housing development and refurbishment, road and infrastructure jobs along the A19 and A182, utility and grid work, and light industrial and logistics contracts around the Sunderland and Durham sites. Hetton gives firms a central, affordable base, and we give their crews a proper house to work from.
The A182 links Hetton to the A19 in minutes — Sunderland to the north-east, Durham and the A1(M) to the south-west — and the A690 and A183 cover the local runs. Most crews drive, and most sites around the Wearside and Durham patch are inside half an hour. Where a job sits further afield, we shortlist properties by tested drive time from the site rather than straight-line distance, so the commute quoted is the commute your crew actually gets.
The whole property is yours — no sharing with other contractors. Bills go in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is checked against real vehicles, not brochure photos. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms, a weekly clean and fresh linen are included, and any maintenance is ours to fix. Your company receives 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.
With the site postcode, crew size and start date we'll send a shortlist within two working hours. The Hetton, Newbottle and East Rainton stock turns over steadily, so most crews are matched and checked in within a few days — often sooner when dates are flexible by a week either side.
Hetton-le-Hole itself, plus the neighbouring villages across the DH and SR postcode edges — Newbottle, East Rainton, Shiney Row and towards Houghton-le-Spring and Penshaw. Every option is quoted with a tested drive time to your site, so the commute we promise is the one your crew actually drives.
Every property on your shortlist has parking verified against your actual vehicles — van sizes included. Most Hetton semis and estate houses have driveways, and we confirm the details before you commit to anything. Tell us at enquiry stage if you run trailers or a crew bus and we'll match the space accordingly.
All of them. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are in our name and covered by your rate, with Wi-Fi tested before check-in. Your company gets one monthly invoice and none of the utility admin — meter readings, supplier calls and broadband faults are all ours to deal with.
One monthly invoice covers rent, bills, broadband, cleaning and linen paid by card. No booking fees, no deposit collected from the crew, and one contact for any query — accounts teams tend to like us. We can quote job references or cost codes on the invoice if your system needs them.
KrewBase does. Your crew reports an issue to us and we arrange the repair, with an out-of-hours line for genuine emergencies. It never lands on your site supervisor, and there's never a bill passed to your lads — one message to us starts the fix, day or night.
