Lancing, South East • England
Lancing is a coastal town in West Sussex, England, in the BN postcode area, sitting on the A27 between Worthing to the west and Shoreham-by-Sea and Brighton to the east. KrewBase houses crews working along the Sussex coast in whole serviced properties — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before arrival, parking matched to your vehicles, and one monthly invoice going to your company, leaving the crew free to get on with the job.
Lancing is mostly housing rather than industry — interwar semis in the older streets near the seafront, post-war estates inland towards Sompting, and a run of newer developments filling the gaps. That stock suits crews well: three-bedroom houses with driveways are common, and many streets have the kerbside width for a works van without blocking anyone in or annoying the neighbours, which matters on a long stay. Newer developments inland add modern family houses with proper driveways.
Our checks stay the same wherever the property is: parking verified for the vehicles you list, broadband speed-tested before check-in, two bathrooms for crews of five or more, and a landlord happy with working tenants on a company let. If a house cannot tick those boxes it does not reach the shortlist, however presentable it looks in the photographs. That filter applies to every property we offer, wherever in the town it sits.
The neighbouring areas help too. Sompting to the west and Shoreham-by-Sea to the east add more stock within a couple of miles, so if nothing in Lancing itself fits the crew and the vehicles, the shortlist simply widens rather than forcing a compromise that everyone regrets by week two. Parking is easiest on the post-war estates and the newer developments inland.
The Sussex coastal strip between Worthing and Brighton keeps crews busy with construction and housing development, school and hospital projects, energy and utilities work, and the logistics and light industry around Shoreham port and the A27 trading estates. Seasonal maintenance — coastal defences, refits, public-realm work — adds to the mix through the year and often brings in crews from outside the area entirely. Shoreham port brings its own steady cycle of maintenance and refit work.
Lancing works as a base because it sits in the middle of all of it. A crew here can head west towards Worthing, east into Brighton or north to the South Downs without a long drag either way, and the town itself has the shops, takeaways and facilities that make evenings after shift straightforward rather than a mission. Seasonal peaks bring extra crews in from outside the area entirely.
It is also the kind of town where a crew house does not stand out. Working vehicles on a driveway are a normal sight, neighbours are used to early starts, and nobody raises an eyebrow at a van leaving at half five in the morning — all of which makes for a quieter, easier stay than a house in a nosier postcode.
The A27 is the spine road, running straight through Lancing and linking Worthing, about four miles west, with Brighton, roughly ten miles east. Shoreham-by-Sea merges into Lancing to the east and has its own station, and Shoreham Airport sits just inland for any aviation-related contracts. The South Downs are a short drive north for countryside-based work, and the coast road opens up the villages in both directions. The coast road opens up the villages in both directions for more rural sites.
Lancing has its own station on the West Coastway line between Brighton and Worthing, which helps crews without vehicles or anyone needing a rail day in Brighton or Portsmouth. We note the walking distance to the station on each shortlisted property so you can weigh it properly alongside the parking situation. It is an easy walk from most of the town's streets.
For anything away from the main road — a site up in the Downs, a substation off the coast road, a farm inland — send the site postcode and we shortlist by measured drive time. Ten minutes on the A27 and ten minutes on a single-track lane are very different things, and we price that difference into the shortlist. We measure at the hours your crew will actually travel, from the site gate to the door.
The rate covers the whole property plus gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband, all in our name and all inside the one monthly figure. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is checked against your actual vehicles, five-plus crews get two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen runs through the booking from start to finish, however long the job ends up running.
Maintenance calls come to us, not to your site manager, and never appear as an extra line on the invoice. Your company receives one monthly invoice — payment by card, no booking fees — and there is no minimum crew size or stay. Whether it is a short sharp job or a long-running site, the service is identical and the paperwork stays the same single page. Extensions are a quick email, early finishes are billed fairly, and your accounts team sees one predictable figure each month, whatever the job throws at the schedule.
If the job extends, a quick email does it. If it finishes early, you are not paying for weeks nobody needed, because the arrangement is built around the actual dates rather than a rigid block booking that charges you either way. Extensions are a quick email, early finishes are billed fairly for the nights actually stayed, and your accounts team sees one predictable figure each month.
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.
Yes — about two hours during the working day once we have the site postcode, headcount and dates. Because Lancing sits between Worthing and Brighton we check each property against the actual site so the commute works whichever end of the A27 the job is on, and we verify parking before anything is offered.
We do — Lancing plus Sompting, Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing and the coastal villages towards Brighton. If the site is up on the Downs or further inland, give us the postcode and we will shortlist by drive time rather than guessing from the town name, because lanes and main roads are very different at seven in the morning.
Parking is checked, not assumed. You give us the vehicle list, we confirm the house can take it — driveway, garage or dependable kerbside space. Crews with larger plant or a trailer should mention dimensions so we do not offer a street that will not fit them, because discovering that on arrival night helps nobody.
Yes — gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband are all in our name and inside the monthly rate. Nobody hands the crew a meter reading or a rebill at the end of the month, and the Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in so it works from day one, whether the crew is streaming, calling home or working remotely.
That is the standard arrangement. One monthly invoice to your company covering everything — rent, bills, the weekly clean — paid by card, with no booking fees and no deposits. Extending the booking is a quick email, not a new contract, and shortening it is handled fairly rather than by the small print.
Yes. There is no minimum crew size or stay length — a two-person job for a fortnight gets the same bills-in, weekly-clean service as a large crew on a long contract. We just match the property size to the headcount so nobody is paying for empty bedrooms, and we will say if a smaller house suits better.
