Hornsea, Yorkshire and the Humber • England
Hornsea is a proper seaside town on the Holderness coast in Yorkshire and the Humber, England,, in the HU postcode area and about half an hour north-east of Hull. Behind the promenade and the mere, it has the shops, takeaways and bakeries a working crew actually uses. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats around Hornsea for crews working across the East Riding — bills, Wi-Fi and parking all included under one monthly invoice, so the gang lives a five-minute walk from the sea while the paperwork stays simple.
Hornsea's housing is a familiar East Riding mix: brick terraces and semis near the old town centre, larger detached and semi-detached houses on the estates towards the golf club, and a scattering of flats and bungalows near the seafront. Crews do best on the residential estates — space for two or three vans, gardens for drying gear, and quiet streets after a night shift.
We walk every property before it goes on a shortlist: parking measured against your vehicles, broadband speed-tested, heating checked, and enough bathrooms for the headcount. Anything that fails gets dropped, whatever the rent. We also make sure there's a proper washing machine and somewhere to hang wet kit — coastal work is muddy work, and a crew without laundry facilities gets old fast.
Work around Hornsea is typical of the East Riding: coastal and flood-defence construction, housing development as the towns grow, highways maintenance along the A-roads, and the healthcare, care and logistics contracts that serve Hull's north-eastern fringe. Crews working across Yorkshire and the Humber use Hornsea as a calm base — out of Hull's traffic, but close enough to reach it, Beverley and Bridlington without drama.
Hornsea sits at the end of the A1035, which runs through Brandesburton and links to the A164 towards Beverley and the A63 for Hull — figure on half an hour to Hull depending on where the site is. Bridlington is up the coast and Driffield inland, both within easy reach for crews with work spread across Holderness. Bus links run towards Hull and Beverley, though most crews find the van wins.
If the site is somewhere the signposts don't reach, give us the postcode and we'll shortlist by real drive time, checked at the hours your crew will actually be travelling. Holderness roads are flat and quick off-peak, but they clog with farm traffic at the wrong hour — we'd rather add ten minutes to the shortlist than to your gang's working day.
You get one agreement for the whole property and we carry everything else — rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband in our name, arriving at your office as a single monthly invoice paid by card. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is verified against your vans, five or more people means two bathrooms minimum, and a weekly clean with linen keeps the place respectable. Maintenance is our call, not yours. No booking fees, no minimum crew, no minimum 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.
Send us the site, headcount and start date and you'll usually have a shortlist within two working hours. Hornsea and the neighbouring villages normally give us decent options, and we can often get a crew in within days rather than weeks.
Yes — we shortlist by drive time, so that could mean Hornsea itself, Brandesburton, Leven, Atwick or further towards Beverley if the job sits that way. The shortlist says plainly what each house offers and how long the drive is.
That's the whole point of it. Rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband all sit in KrewBase's name and land on your company as one monthly invoice, card payment. Crew members never pay anything personally or put bills on expenses.
The residential estates mostly offer drives for two or three vans, and we confirm parking against your vehicle list before anything is offered. If you tow a trailer, tell us — we'd rather lose a house from the shortlist than have the crew arrive with nowhere to put it.
Yes. We note shift patterns when we shortlist so the house suits them — blackout-friendly bedrooms where possible, no scheduling of the weekly clean right after a night shift, and neighbours who won't complain about vans leaving at 5am. Tell us the pattern and we plan around it.
Extending is usually a quick phone call, provided the property is still available — and we'd sooner flag an upcoming clash early than leave you scrambling. There's no penalty-style approach: jobs overrun, and the house just carries on. If the property is booked, we'll line up an alternative before the original dates end.
