Loughborough, East Midlands • England
Crews come to Loughborough for the big employers off the M1, the university and the steady stream of construction and infrastructure work running through Leicestershire. The town sits in the East Midlands in the LE postcode area, roughly equidistant between Leicester and Nottingham. KrewBase houses crews in whole serviced properties — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against your vans — and sends your company one monthly invoice.
Loughborough's housing runs from Victorian terraces near the town centre out to semis around Shelthorpe and the bigger detached houses toward the university. Post-war estates ring the town and newer family estates have filled in the edges. For crews, the sweet spots are usually the semis and larger terraces: driveways, decent-sized kitchens, two bathrooms more often than not. We filter out the student-heavy streets near the university, because parking there is tight and neighbours expect a different kind of household.
Every property we shortlist is checked against your crew size and vehicle list before it reaches you. A house that comfortably fits four will not be offered to eight, however good the photographs look. We also look for the practicalities that make a week run well: a kitchen that can handle batch cooking, drying space for wet gear, and a living room where the whole crew can sit down together after a shift.
The university alone generates a rolling programme of maintenance, refurbishment and fit-out work, and the town's industrial estates keep trades busy year-round. Beyond town, crews working across Leicestershire — on housing developments, rail work, energy and grid contracts and NHS projects — often base here because the M1 makes the whole region reachable. Manufacturing and logistics employers along the M1 corridor bring in their own contractors too. One house here can serve a job that moves site every few weeks.
The M1 at junction 23 is on the town's doorstep, and Leicester is around eleven miles south-west with Nottingham about thirteen miles north. The A6 cuts through town and the A512 links east toward the motorway. Loughborough station on the Midland Main Line gives trains to Leicester, Nottingham and London, handy for lads travelling in on a Sunday night. When sites sit off the beaten track, we shortlist by drive time from the postcode rather than crow-fly distance — it is the only measure that matters at six in the morning.
Every booking is the whole house or flat, with gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband already running in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before anyone arrives, and parking is verified against your actual vehicles, not a listing photo. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms as standard, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place decent.
Your office gets one monthly invoice paid by card — rent, bills, cleaning, all itemised — with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay. Maintenance is ours: the crew reports a problem, we deal with it. There is nothing to set up on arrival and nothing for the crew to top up during the stay. Send the postcode, dates and headcount and we will come back with options the same day.
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.
Usually, yes. Send the site postcode, headcount and dates and we aim to return a shortlist within two hours. Loughborough has decent stock of semis and terraces, though the student areas near the university are ones we steer crews away from, so it helps to have a few days' notice around term starts.
We cover the town and the villages around it — Shelthorpe, Woodthorpe, Hathern, Shepshed and out toward Quorn and Mountsorrel if the site justifies the commute. Tell us where the job is and we will shortlist by drive time, not by which street photographs best, so the crew's week is shaped by the site and not by our preferences.
Every house we shortlist has parking checked against your actual vehicles before check-in. Terraces near the centre can be tight, so we favour properties with driveways or generous kerbside space when the crew rolls up in Transits and trailers, and we tell you plainly if a house will not fit you.
Yes — one invoice a month covering rent, all bills, the weekly clean and linen, paid by card. No booking fees, no nightly card charges. Your office gets one document it can reconcile in minutes instead of a folder of receipts from five different suppliers, and nothing lands on the crew's own cards.
We can. Tell us the shift pattern at quote stage and we shortlist houses with quiet bedrooms and blackout-friendly layouts, brief the cleaner to work around daysleepers, and note it on your booking so nobody knocks at nine in the morning. Night work is a normal part of what we plan for.
Three things start it: the site postcode, number of people, and the dates. Shift patterns and vehicle sizes help us confirm parking and sleeping arrangements. With those, we return a priced shortlist of whole houses — typically within two hours on a working day, and usually faster when the dates are flexible.
