Lakes, North West • England
Lakes sits within the LA postcode area of the North West of England, in the rural country where small villages, farmland and low fells make up most of the map. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats for crews working across this part of the region: every bill in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice to your company. Because properties here are scattered, we shortlist strictly by drive time from your site, so your crew's commute is agreed before anyone moves in.
Housing across this part of the LA postcode area is a patchwork: stone terraces in the villages, rendered semis and bungalows on the quieter lanes, and the occasional farmhouse or converted barn between them. Crews need the practical end of that stock — heating that copes with wet, cold weather, a kitchen-diner that seats everyone, and parking that takes the vehicles you'll actually bring. We filter for exactly that, and we walk away from pretty cottages with no drive and no drying space, because they don't work for people coming off site in the rain.
Crews working across the LA postcode district cover rural trades first: building and renovation work in the villages, farm and land-based construction, and upkeep of the tourism infrastructure that this part of the region depends on. Highways and utilities maintenance keeps teams moving along the local routes, and healthcare providers need regular nursing and care cover across the smaller communities. Wherever the job sits, the pattern is the same — a scattered village base, a practical house, and an honest drive time agreed up front.
Rather than guess at roads, we work the commute backwards from your site. Send us the site postcode and we'll shortlist whole properties within a set drive time, stating the figure for each option before you choose. That matters in country like this, where the straight-line map distance and the real drive can differ by half an hour. For crews without vehicles, we factor in the local bus and rail links into the nearest towns when placing the house, so nobody's stranded on a rest day.
Every KrewBase let is the whole property — not rooms in someone's home — with council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband in our name. We test the Wi-Fi before check-in, match parking to your vehicle list and require two bathrooms in any house sleeping five or more. A weekly clean with fresh linen is included, all maintenance calls come to us, and your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card. There are no booking fees and no minimum crew size 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.
Around two hours for most requests. Send the site postcode, crew size, vehicle list and dates, and we'll return whole properties within an agreed drive time, each with photos, parking details and the honest commute figure. The shortlist is free.
We shortlist across the LA postcode district rather than one town boundary, pulling from the villages within your site's drive time. If the job covers several sites, tell us where they are and we'll place the crew centrally between them.
Yes — we only shortlist properties where the parking works for your actual vehicles, and we check it before check-in, including trailers or plant. Village houses here often have drives or yards, and we confirm the detail in writing so there's no dispute on day one.
Everything — council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are in KrewBase's name. We test the Wi-Fi before anyone moves in, and the rent quoted is the rent invoiced. Your crew never deals with a supplier or a meter, or a surprise bill.
Yes — one monthly invoice, paid by card covers rent, bills, cleaning and linen, sent to your accounts team as a PDF. No booking fees, no card payments from individual crew members, and no chasing receipts for anyone at month end.
Extensions are normally straightforward — tell us the revised dates and we'll confirm the same day. If the property is booked after you, we'll shortlist like-for-like alternatives within the same drive time so the crew isn't left in limbo between phases.
