Leyland, North West • England
Leyland lies between Preston and Chorley in Lancashire, England, in the PR postcode area, with the M6 running along its western edge and junction 28 close by. It's a practical base for crews working anywhere between Preston, Manchester and the Fylde coast. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats here — bills in, Wi-Fi tested, parking verified against your vehicles, and one tidy monthly invoice for the company.
Leyland is largely a town of interwar and post-war semis and tidy estates, with some terraces closer to the centre around Hough Lane and plenty of newer builds on the outskirts. That stock is genuinely good for crews: semis usually come with a drive, a decent-sized kitchen and a back garden, which suits four to six people living together far better than poky terraces would. Smaller crews do fine in one of the centre terraces, which are warm, cheap to run and close to the shops.
Our shortlist only includes properties with workable parking, enough bathrooms for the headcount, and space to live properly between shifts — not just sleep. We also check the heating, the hot water and the state of the kitchen, because a crew living in a house for three months notices everything a weekend guest would forgive, and we don't want those calls either.
Leyland sits in one of the North West's busiest corridors for industry and construction. Crews based here typically take on housing development and commercial construction around Preston and Chorley, logistics and distribution work along the M6 and M61 belt, manufacturing and plant maintenance contracts in central Lancashire, and rail or utility work anywhere from Manchester up to the Lakes. We keep it flexible — the house is yours wherever the job takes you.
The M6 skirts the town with junction 28 right by it, and the M61 branches off nearby towards Bolton and Manchester — so motorway access is about as easy as it gets. Preston is around six miles north, Chorley three miles south, and Manchester is 25 to 30 miles depending on which side of the city you're heading to. Leyland station has regular trains towards Preston and Manchester too. When your site sits off the beaten track, we shortlist by drive time from the gate, not by distance as the crow flies.
One rate covers the lot: the whole property, gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband — all in our name, all on one monthly invoice. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is confirmed against your actual vehicles, and five or more people get two bathrooms as standard. Weekly cleaning and fresh linen are included, and any maintenance is our problem to fix, not yours. Payment is by card, no booking fees, no 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.
Yes — send the site postcode, headcount and dates and we'll have a shortlist of whole houses or flats in or around Leyland back to you within two hours in working time. It's built around drive time to site, so nothing on it is a wasted journey.
We do. Leyland sits neatly between them, so we shortlist across the PR postcode area — Chorley, Preston, Buckshaw Village, Euxton and the surrounding villages — depending on which side of town your site falls. That means if one side of the motorway is short on stock, we can usually still offer workable options.
We test broadband speed at every property before your crew checks in, and if a house won't support a few people online at once plus evening paperwork, it doesn't make the shortlist. Wi-Fi is included in the rate along with all other bills.
Everything — rent, bills, cleaning, linen — rolls into one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no per-night extras, no chasing receipts from the lads. Your accounts team deals with one supplier and one payment. Extensions simply continue the same invoice for the extra weeks, with no re-papering. Extensions simply continue the same invoice for the extra weeks, with no re-papering.
No. A two-person team for a fortnight books exactly the same way as a ten-person crew for six months. The property is sized to the crew, not the other way round, and the rate structure stays the same. The rate structure stays the same either way — only the size of the house changes.
Extensions are routine. As soon as you know the job's running long, tell us and we'll confirm whether the property can carry on — usually a same-day answer, and the one monthly invoice simply continues for the extra weeks. If the house is booked after you, we'll offer the nearest equivalent so nobody is left stranded.
