Marcham, South East • England
Marcham is a large village in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, in the OX postcode area, just west of Abingdon along the A415. KrewBase houses working crews in whole serviced properties around Marcham — houses and flats with every bill in our name and the Wi-Fi tested before anyone moves in. Your company gets one monthly invoice covering the lot, however long the job runs.
Marcham itself is a mix of period stone cottages, post-war semis and newer estates on the village edge, and the honest answer is that the cottages rarely suit crews — no parking, thin walls, precious owners. What works are the semis and modern family houses, and those are plentiful once you include Abingdon, five minutes east, where the streets fill up with exactly the kind of three-bed, two-bathroom, drive-and-garage stock that suits a working crew.
We shortlist around Marcham with a practical eye. A driveway or garage for the vans, a kitchen that can feed a crew, broadband that holds up to six blokes streaming at once, and a sensible commute to the site gate. Anything that fails those checks doesn't reach your inbox, no matter how good the photos look. If it can't take the vans, the crew and the kit, it isn't a crew house — whatever the listing claims.
Crews working across Oxfordshire use Marcham as a base for the usual rolling mix: housing development, construction, utilities and grid work, logistics along the A34 corridor, and the maintenance and manufacturing jobs clustered around Abingdon, Didcot and Oxford. Contracts run from a few weeks to the best part of a year, and accommodation needs to keep up — which is why our lets run month to month rather than locking anyone into a tenancy that outlives the job.
Marcham sits on the A415 between Abingdon and Witney, with the A418 running south towards the A34 at Hinksey and the M4 at Chieveley reachable for wider jobs. Crews without vans can use Didcot Parkway or Oxford for rail links into London and the Midlands, and Abingdon's bus network covers the local hops. Where a contract moves between sites around the county, we re-shortlist by drive time so the commute stays under half an hour wherever the gate ends up.
The whole property is yours — no strangers in the spare room. Rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband all sit in our name, and the Wi-Fi is tested before the first night. Parking is checked against the vehicles on the job sheet, crews of five or more get two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place straight while your lads get on with the actual work.
There is one monthly invoice per property, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum stay. Maintenance is our problem — a boiler at six on a Sunday morning goes to us, not to the crew's foreman. Rates are quoted per property, not per head, so a four-bed costs the same whether four or six lads are in it. When the job finishes, a fortnight's notice wraps it up.
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.
Two working hours from your enquiry to a vetted shortlist, provided we have the site address, headcount and dates. Every option near Marcham comes with parking details, bathroom count and an honest drive time, so you can compare like for like and confirm the same day.
Marcham itself, Abingdon, Drayton, Steventon, Wantage and Didcot are all in our usual patch, and we'll look further into Oxford or down towards the M4 when the site justifies the drive. Each shortlist states the commute plainly so you can weigh up a cheaper house against an extra twenty minutes on the road.
Yes. We choose landlords who understand shift work, so nobody is phoning the office because someone slept through breakfast. Blackout options and quiet bedrooms are flagged on the shortlist where it matters, and keys are set up for staggered arrivals — half the crew can land at midnight without waking the rest.
Everything is in: rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband, all in our name. The Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and there are no meter readings or utility letters chasing your company afterwards. The single monthly invoice is the complete cost of running the property.
One invoice per property, once a month, paid by card. It goes straight into your normal accounts run with no booking fee, no service charge and no per-head extras. If you need a cost centre reference or a PO number on the invoice, tell us at the start and it appears on every one.
Four things: the site address or postcode, how many people, the start date and roughly how long the job runs. With that we can shortlist within two working hours, and a firm quote follows once you pick a property. No forms, no site visits from us — just the details your scheduler already has.

Marcham sits about 7 miles from Oxford. Plenty of crews working here base themselves in the city and drive out, especially on longer jobs or when the local supply is thin. Our contractor accommodation Oxford page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
