Marlingford, East of England • England
Marlingford sits a few miles west of Norwich along the A47 in Norfolk, in the NR postcode area. It's a small village, but crews working across central Norfolk often need beds closer to the western corridor than the city itself. KrewBase takes whole serviced houses and flats for your crew, puts every bill in our name and hands your company one monthly invoice. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months, and the price structure works the same way.
Marlingford itself is a handful of streets between the A47 and the Yare valley, so crew houses are usually found in the villages around it: Easton, Costessey, Bawburgh and the western edge of Norwich itself. This part of Norfolk is classic brick-and-flint territory, with post-war semis, modest terraces and newer estates that tend to come with driveways and gardens rather than tight kerbside parking.
We look for properties with off-road parking for vans, two bathrooms where the crew is five or more, and enough space to dry work gear without filling the living room. Heating efficiency matters in these older Norfolk houses, so every property is walked through in person before it reaches your shortlist, not just picked from a listing photo and hoped for.
Crews based around Marlingford are usually working somewhere along the busy A47 corridor west of Norwich. Typical jobs are construction and housing development, local infrastructure and utilities work, and logistics covering the distribution sites towards the city's edge. Healthcare staff on community contracts across central Norfolk also use this corridor daily, which is why demand for proper crew houses stays steady through the year.
Because the village is small, almost every job is a short drive east towards Norwich or west towards the market towns. We plan accommodation around where the site actually is rather than the village name on the booking form, so the first shortlist you see is already filtered by real drive time from your postcode, which is how the commute stays honest from day one of the contract.
The A47 is the spine of this area. From Marlingford it's a straightforward run east into Norwich in around fifteen minutes, or west towards the Midlands, while the A1074 links south towards the hospital, the research parks and the industrial estates on the city's southern edge. For crews with cars, that means most sites on this side of Norfolk are within an easy morning run.
Norwich has the nearest mainline station, with regular trains to London Liverpool Street, Ipswich and Cambridge. When we shortlist houses we work from your site postcode and measured drive time rather than guesses, and if your sites shift during the contract we re-shortlist from the new postcode so the commute never quietly doubles. It saves a surprising amount of grief when the job list grows.
You get the whole property, not a room allocation in somebody else's house. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are all in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is checked against the actual vehicles your crew brings, whether that's two cars or three transit vans plus a pickup, and we confirm the spaces on the ground before the booking is confirmed, not after the crew arrives.
A weekly clean and fresh linen are part of the arrangement, and any maintenance issue comes to us, not your site manager. Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew size or stay length, so the paperwork looks the same for a fortnight's job as for a six-month project, and the rate is agreed up front so there are no extras to explain later.
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.
Send us the site postcode, headcount and dates, and we normally come back with a shortlist within about two hours. Once you pick a house we handle the contract, deposit and check-in, so a crew can usually be in the door within a few working days, even at short notice.
Yes. Marlingford is small, so most placements land in the surrounding villages and the western side of Norwich, such as Costessey, Easton and Bawburgh. Tell us where the site is and we shortlist by drive time rather than by village boundary, wherever the right house turns out to be.
Parking is one of the first things we check. We ask what vehicles the crew brings, whether that's cars, pickups or transit vans, and only shortlist houses with off-road space that genuinely fits them. A property with kerbside-only parking rarely makes our list for a working crew.
Yes. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband stay in our name and are included in the rate. We test the Wi-Fi before anyone checks in, and there are no meter readings, no utility switches and no surprise bills for your crew or your accounts team to chase.
Everything lands on one monthly invoice covering rent, bills, cleaning and linen. We work paid by card so your accounts team isn't chasing receipts from individual tradesmen. There are no booking fees on top, whatever the size of the job or the length of the stay.
We do. Your crew reports any problem to us and our maintenance team arranges the fix, whether it's a boiler failure at seven in the morning or a dripping tap in the kitchen. The site manager never gets dragged into landlord business, and normal wear and tear is never billed separately.
