Kidlington, South East • England
Kidlington, in Oxfordshire, England, sits in the OX postcode area just five miles north of Oxford, strung along the A44 and close to Oxford Parkway station for trains into London Marylebone. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses and flats for crews working across Oxfordshire — bills in our name, Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in, parking matched to your vehicles, and one monthly invoice sent straight to your company rather than left for the crew to settle.
Kidlington claims to be one of the largest villages in England, and much of it is exactly what crews need: interwar and post-war semis, solid three-bedroom terraces off the Oxford Road, and estate streets where driveways are normal rather than a luxury. The surrounding villages towards Woodstock and Bicester offer similar stock if the site sits further out, and Oxford's own northern suburbs are close by when the job is city-side. Gardens and garages are common, and the estates are generally quiet enough for night-shift crews sleeping through the day.
What we filter for stays constant across all of it: parking that genuinely fits the vehicles on the booking, broadband that has been tested rather than promised, two bathrooms for five-plus crews, and a landlord who understands working tenants on a company let. Anything that falls short is cut before the shortlist reaches you, so you never waste an evening viewing houses that were never going to work.
That matters more than it might seem. A crew that has been on site all day does not want to arrive at a house with one parking space for three vans and a router in a cupboard. Our checks exist so the first night feels settled, not like a problem to solve. That is the standard we hold every property to before it is offered out.
Kidlington's position between Oxford, Bicester and the A34 corridor makes it a natural base for construction and housing development across the growing towns, logistics work around the distribution parks, and the steady flow of NHS, university and public-sector contracts centred on Oxford. Energy, utilities and infrastructure jobs along the A34 and A44 also pull crews into the area, along with aviation-related work around London Oxford Airport on the village's doorstep. The science and business parks along the A44 generate their own steady cycle of fit-out, refit and maintenance work for local contractors, and Oxford's hospitals and colleges keep healthcare and public-sector crews busy between bigger projects.
Because the work is spread across several hubs rather than one site, crews tend to prefer a house over a hotel — somewhere with a kitchen, a washing machine and a living room, priced for a month rather than a night, with everyone under one roof instead of scattered across corridors on different floors. That is the let we arrange as standard.
It also suits the way jobs actually run. Contracts start, pause, extend and shift between sites, and a monthly house arrangement absorbs that far more easily than block hotel bookings that charge for every change and every no-show. The science and business parks along the A44 generate their own steady cycle of fit-out and maintenance work, and the hospitals and colleges across Oxford keep public-sector crews busy between the bigger projects.
The A44 runs through the village towards Oxford to the south and Woodstock to the north-west, while the A34 — the main north–south artery through Oxfordshire — is a short drive west, linking Bicester, the M40 and the Midlands. Oxford itself is about five miles south, Bicester roughly eight miles north-east, and the M40 can be reached near Bicester for the run to London or Birmingham. Oxford Parkway station, just outside the village, runs direct trains to London Marylebone. The park-and-ride sites on the city's edge give crews another option for central Oxford work.
Kidlington is also home to London Oxford Airport, so aviation-related contracts are no stranger here, and the science and business parks along the A44 generate their own cycle of fit-out and maintenance work. Whatever the site, give us the postcode and we shortlist by measured drive time rather than straight-line distance, because Oxford's traffic can turn five miles into twenty minutes or fifty depending on the hour.
For crews without vehicles, the station and the frequent buses into Oxford cover most needs, and we note public transport options against each shortlisted property so you can see the full picture before deciding. Traffic across Oxford can be heavy at peak times, so approaching from the north is often quicker than coming through the city, and the park-and-ride sites give crews another option for city-centre work.
The crew takes the whole property and nobody else shares it — no house-shares with strangers, no hotel corridors, no breakfast-timed-to-the-hotel arrangements. Rent covers gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband, all in our name and all inside the one rate, so nobody on the job ever sees a utility bill or is asked to read a meter at an awkward moment. The crew just arrives with bags and food for the first night.
Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is verified against your vehicles, crews of five or more get two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen runs through the stay. Maintenance is our problem, not yours — the crew calls us and we arrange the fix, whether it is a boiler, a broken lock or a tired appliance. Your accounts team deals with one predictable figure each month, and nobody on site is handed a bill or asked to settle anything personally.
Your company gets a single monthly invoice paid by card with no booking fees and no minimum stay. Whether the job runs two weeks or the best part of a year, the deal stays the same and the paperwork stays minimal. Your accounts team deals with one predictable figure each month, and nobody on site is ever handed a bill or asked to settle anything personally.
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 about two hours during the working day, once we have the site postcode, headcount and dates. Because Kidlington sits between Oxford and Bicester we check each house against the actual site so you don't end up with a lovely house and a miserable commute through Oxford traffic.
Yes — Kidlington, plus Summertown, Yarnton, Begbroke, Woodstock, Bicester and the villages between. If the job moves around Oxfordshire we shortlist by drive time from wherever the site actually is, so send us postcodes rather than just a town name and we will take it from there.
Broadband is included in the rate and speed-tested before your crew checks in, with the result noted on the property file. If a job involves remote working or early-morning uploads, tell us the speeds you need and we will only shortlist houses that clear them, saving everyone a bad surprise on night one.
Everything rolls into one monthly invoice to your company — rent, bills, the weekly clean — paid by card. There are no booking fees, no deposits for the crew to find, and extending the stay is a quick confirmation rather than a new contract, which keeps your accounts team's workload light.
Extensions are routine and happen on most longer jobs. Tell us as early as you can and we will confirm whether the same property can carry on, or line up a switch nearby if it cannot. Because there are no minimums and no lock-in beyond the agreed term, changing dates rarely costs anything beyond the extra nights.
The site postcode, how many people, any vehicle details, and the rough dates. With those four things we can shortlist suitable houses, confirm parking and Wi-Fi, and come back with a single monthly rate the same day in most cases, ready to go straight to your accounts team for approval.
