Llansamlet, Wales • Wales
Crews heading for Swansea's east side often end up in Llansamlet, Wales, in the SA postcode area, a couple of minutes off the M4 at junction 44. KrewBase houses working crews in whole serviced houses and flats here — bills, Wi-Fi and parking included, one monthly invoice to your office, and no hotel bar bills creeping onto the job cost code.
Llansamlet is mostly post-war semis and tidy estates spreading north from the A48 — exactly the sort of housing that works for crews: three bedrooms, a driveway, a decent-sized kitchen, ten minutes from anywhere. The streets off the old Swansea Road corridor give quick access back towards the M4, while the estates up towards Birchgrove and Glais suit crews who want a quieter street after a late finish. We pass on anything with residents'-only parking or tight turning, because vans need space more than a pretty front garden.
Inside, we check for the things that matter on a job: a boiler with enough grunt for back-to-back showers, a kitchen table that seats the whole crew, and a living room that isn't an afterthought. Crew houses here are typically booked for three to eight people, and the stock around Llansamlet handles that comfortably. Location within the village matters less than parking and condition, so we weight our checks accordingly.
The work picture here is typical of a city edge: ongoing housing development and refurbishment across Swansea, warehouse and logistics shifts serving the M4 corridor, manufacturing further west along the Tawe, plus steady utilities, rail and highway maintenance. Crews also come through for healthcare contracts at the city's hospitals and for longer infrastructure jobs that keep teams in the area for months. What they all need is the same — a proper house near site, with parking and bills handled, booked without fuss.
This is Llansamlet's trump card: the M4. Junction 44 is right on the doorstep and junction 45 a few minutes west, so a crew can be in Port Talbot, Bridgend or heading towards Carmarthen without touching a city street. The A48 runs straight into Swansea centre in about ten minutes, and trains from Llansamlet station link into the South Wales Main Line for crews arriving by rail. When the site sits further out, we shortlist by measured drive time rather than guessing — give us the postcode and we do the sums.
One monthly invoice covers everything — rent, all bills, Wi-Fi, the weekly clean and linen. Your accounts team gets payment by card, with no booking fees or deposits to juggle. Broadband goes in our name and is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is measured against your actual vehicles. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms, and anything that breaks is fixed by us — not negotiated between your lads and a landlord.
There is no minimum crew and no minimum stay. Whether it is a two-person crew for ten days or ten blokes for the best part of a year, the process is identical: postcode, dates, headcount, and a shortlist back within two working hours. If the job grows, one message extends the booking, and if it shrinks or finishes early, the same message sorts it with fair notice.
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.
Inside two working hours of getting your site postcode, crew size and dates. Each house is physically checked before it reaches your shortlist, so availability is real and the details match — no arriving to find the ‘three-bedroom’ is a two-bed with a cupboard.
Llansamlet itself plus Birchgrove, Glais, Morriston, Fforestfach and the rest of Swansea's east and north side. For sites towards the west of the city we will happily shortlist there instead if it shaves time off the daily run — tell us the site and we will advise.
Yes — it's one of our standard checks. You tell us the vehicles and we only propose houses where they genuinely fit, whether that's a driveway for two vans or reliable on-street space outside. Nobody wants a parking ticket as their first memory of the job.
Cost is the obvious one — a whole house for a crew beats four hotel rooms within a week. But it's also the fridge, the washing machine, the parking right outside, and your lads cooking together instead of eating motorway services. For stays over a few nights, houses win every time.
Yes — one monthly invoice to your accounts team, card payment payment terms, and no booking fees or deposits on top. Rent, bills, Wi-Fi, cleaning and linen all sit on that single document, which keeps your accounts team happy and your site manager out of the receipts business.
Three things: the site postcode, your crew size, and the dates — even rough ones. From that we shortlist suitable houses, confirm parking against your vehicles, and send pricing with one monthly invoice laid out clearly. No forms, no chasing. Just a shortlist that works.
