Ireleth, North West • England
A short run up the hill from Askam-in-Furness, Ireleth is a small village on the Furness peninsula in Cumbria, England, in the LA postcode area with the A595 close by. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats for crews working across the peninsula: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking confirmed against your vehicles and one monthly invoice to your company. Your crew gets a settled base within an easy drive of Barrow and the industrial coast, without anyone in the office managing landlords or utilities.
Around Ireleth the housing is classic Furness: stone-built terraces in the older villages along the coast road, rendered semis on the quieter lanes, and newer detached houses on small estates towards Askam. What matters for crews is space and parking — many village houses here have drives or forecourts that take a van without drama, and the lanes are quiet once the school run is over. We shortlist homes with a proper kitchen-diner, a downstairs loo where possible, and parking verified against the vehicles on the job.
Crews working across Cumbria's south-western corner cover a mixed bag of trades. Construction and housing development around Barrow-in-Furness and the villages keeps builders busy, energy and grid maintenance runs across the rural network, and engineering-linked work tied to the town's industrial base brings in fitters and welders. Healthcare providers need regular cover, and the A595 itself generates a steady stream of highways and infrastructure maintenance. A base around Ireleth and Askam keeps the whole peninsula within a short run.
Barrow-in-Furness is around seven or eight miles south-west down the A595, and Ulverston about the same distance north — both quick, uncomplicated drives. The A595 continues up the coast and inland towards the southern Lake District, and the railway at Askam-in-Furness links the village to Barrow and the Cumbrian coast line. When the site sits further afield we shortlist strictly by drive time, so your crew's commute is known before the keys are handed over. Crews working night shifts are matched to quiet properties away from the main road.
Every KrewBase let here is the whole property, with council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband in our name, not your crew's. We test the Wi-Fi before check-in, match the parking to your vehicles, and require two bathrooms in any house sleeping five or more. A weekly clean and fresh linen come as standard, maintenance goes through us rather than your crew, and your company receives a single monthly invoice paid by card. There are no booking fees and no minimum crew size or 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.
Typically within two hours of a request. Send the site location, headcount, vehicle sizes and shift pattern, and we'll return a shortlist of whole properties with photos, parking details and drive times. It's free to request and there's no obligation to take any of the options.
Ireleth is a small village, so we shortlist across the surrounding Furness villages — Askam-in-Furness, Dalton-in-Furness and the lanes towards the Duddon estuary. Everything is matched by drive time to your site first, so your crew stays close to the job even if the house is a village or two over.
Yes — one monthly invoice covers rent, bills, cleaning and linen paid by card. Individual crew members never pay anything or front any costs, and your accounts team gets a single tidy PDF each month instead of a stack of receipts.
We only shortlist properties where the parking works for your actual vehicles — a transit tipper needs different space than a car. Driveways and forecourts are common in these villages, but we check and confirm it in writing before check-in so there's no argument on day one.
Regularly. We match night-shift crews to quiet properties, brief the neighbours where appropriate and make sure nobody's leaving the house at odd hours to find a blocked drive. Blackout arrangements and key handover timings are agreed up front with your supervisor.
Five things: the site address or postcode, the crew size, the vehicle sizes, the expected start and finish dates, and any shift pattern. With those in hand we can normally shortlist within about two hours, confirm availability the same day and have keys ready for a fast start on site.
