Ludgvan, South West • England
Between Penzance and Hayle on Cornwall's north coast strip, Ludgvan is a TR-postcode parish in South West England that takes in village, farmland and stretches of the A30 corridor. Crews working across west Cornwall — construction, energy, maintenance — often find the Penzance market tight and short-term lets aimed at holidaymakers. KrewBase houses crews in whole serviced homes around Ludgvan and its neighbouring villages, with bills, Wi-Fi and parking handled in our name and one monthly invoice for your office.
Ludgvan village itself is granite cottages and a handful of newer houses; the practical crew stock spreads wider — Long Rock, Crowlas, and the estates on the outskirts of Penzance and Hayle. West Cornwall has more bungalows than most counties, which suits smaller crews of two or three perfectly, and there are plenty of semis and terraces with drives that take two vans without blocking the pavement. We shortlist against your crew sheet, check parking for real vehicles, and make sure the heating copes with a Cornish winter, not just a summer let.
Crews across this end of Cornwall work construction and housing development, maintenance on the county's housing stock, grid and renewable-energy jobs, tourism-related building work in the shoulder seasons, and healthcare placements covering Penzance, Hayle and the surrounding towns. The common thread is duration — these jobs run weeks to months, and hotel rates west of Truro punish anyone staying that long. A crew house near Ludgvan gives your people a base minutes from most of west Cornwall's sites at a fraction of the cost.
The A30 trunk road passes the parish, which is the single biggest advantage of basing here: east to Camborne, Redruth and the rest of Cornwall, west into Penzance, and Hayle's roundabouts moments away. The A394 links to Helston and the Lizard side. Rail at Penzance is the county's western terminus. Because most west Cornwall sites sit within a short drive, we shortlist by drive time and can usually position a house to split the difference when a crew works two sites — tell us both postcodes and we'll show you the numbers.
The whole property is yours, with bills — gas, electric, water, council tax, Wi-Fi — held in our name and the connection speed-tested before check-in. Houses sleeping five or more get two bathrooms as standard. Weekly cleaning and fresh linen are included, and maintenance lands on our desk, not yours. One monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees, and no minimum crew or stay — the price is per house rather than per head, so a two-person crew never pays over the odds for the good properties.
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.
Within two hours of your enquiry we send a written shortlist — whole houses with drive times from site, parking layouts and bedroom counts, matched to your crew size and start date. From picking a property to the crew being in is usually a few working days, and we can move faster for urgent starts.
Yes. Every shortlisted house is checked against your actual vehicle list before it's offered — driveways that genuinely fit two or three vans, space for a trailer where needed, and no blocking narrow Cornish lanes. If a property can't take your fleet, it doesn't make the shortlist whatever the listing photos imply.
Usually, yes — extensions are a phone call, provided the house is free beyond your dates. If it isn't, we'll shortlist alternatives nearby and manage the move so the crew relocates once, cleanly, with paperwork handled by us. Early warning makes extensions almost painless.
Your office gets one invoice per month covering rent, bills, Wi-Fi, cleaning and linen, paid by card. There are no booking fees, no per-night rates and no separate utility bills to reconcile. If the stay extends or shortens, the same single invoice simply continues or concludes.
Beyond a week or two, a house wins on cost, space and morale. Your crew gets a kitchen, washing machine, living room and parking outside the door — none of which a hotel corridor offers — and hotel stock west of Truro is thin and seasonal. One monthly house invoice also beats a pile of nightly room bills for your accounts team.
We do, directly. Heating, plumbing, appliances, locks, Wi-Fi — the crew reports an issue once and our team arranges the fix, day or night for anything affecting habitability. Your site manager is never involved, and maintenance never appears as a surprise line on the invoice.
