Kettering, East Midlands • England
Kettering earned its living from boots and shoes; these days the A14 and the railway keep it busy. The town sits in Northamptonshire, in England's East Midlands — NN postcode, on the Midland Main Line with direct London trains. KrewBase houses working crews in whole serviced properties here: every bill in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking verified against the crew's vehicles. Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees — a well-connected base for crews spread across North Northamptonshire and the A14 corridor.
Kettering's housing runs the full arc of the town's story: brick terraces from the shoe-factory streets near the centre, interwar semis in long straight roads, and a ring of large modern estates on the outskirts that have grown steadily over the last twenty years. Crews do best on the newer estates — driveways, garages, two bathrooms as standard, and space for a pair of vans. Our shortlists lean that way, and every property is still checked by the same rules: parking for the real vehicles, proper heating, and a kitchen built for people who cook after a shift.
The A14 east–west and the A43 south make Kettering a natural base for logistics, distribution and manufacturing work across the region, and the town's own growth — housing, schools, healthcare sites — keeps construction trades moving through. Crews working across the East Midlands on rail, energy and infrastructure contracts often bed down here too, along with fitters and maintenance teams serving sites in Corby, Wellingborough and the surrounding towns. KrewBase's job is simply to put each of them in a proper house, near site, for as long as the work lasts.
The A14 passes the town and links east to Huntingdon and west to the M1 and M6 beyond, while the A43 runs south past Corby towards Oxfordshire. The A6 threads up towards Market Harborough and down towards Northampton, about fourteen miles away. On rail, Kettering station sits on the Midland Main Line with direct trains to London St Pancras in around an hour, plus services towards Nottingham, Sheffield and Corby — handy when crews arrive by train. We measure drive time to your site before proposing any house.
The crew gets the whole house, and your company gets one monthly invoice — rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband all in KrewBase's name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is matched to the vehicles on the booking, and five or more crew means two bathrooms. A weekly clean with fresh linen, maintenance dealt with by us, card payment payment terms and no booking fees. And there's no gatekeeping here: two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months; only the size of the house changes.
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.
Within two working hours of your enquiry — site postcode, headcount and dates — we'll send a shortlist of properties that have passed our checks. Kettering's stock is good, so from a confirmed choice to keys in hand is typically a few days, and we'll always tell you honestly if your dates are tight.
Yes, the whole of North Northamptonshire is normal territory: Corby, Wellingborough, Rushden, Burton Latimer and Desborough among them. We weight the shortlist by drive time to your site, so a crew working south of Corby may end up better placed in Kettering itself — or the other way round.
Yes — you list the vehicles when you enquire and we shortlist only houses where that parking exists in reality. The newer estates are usually the easiest, with driveways for two or more vans, but we verify it property by property rather than assuming an estate name guarantees space.
That's the standard arrangement. One invoice a month covers rent, council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband, the weekly clean and all maintenance, paid by card. No booking fees and no deposits. It keeps the accommodation line on a job simple to forecast, however long the contract runs.
Three things: the site postcode or location, the number of people and any shift pattern, and the start and likely end dates. Vehicle details help us nail the parking. With that we return a checked shortlist inside two working hours, with pricing that's valid for the length of the stay discussed.
KrewBase does. The crew reports a problem — boiler, leak, appliance — to us, we arrange the tradesperson, and it never lands on your site manager's desk or your invoice as an extra. Properties are checked before check-in precisely so mid-stay surprises stay rare.
