Martock, South West • England
Martock is a large village in South Somerset, in the South West of England and the TA postcode area. It lies a few miles west of Yeovil, just south of the A303, with the A3088 linking it towards the Ilchester junction. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses and flats for crews working around Martock and the Yeovil area — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against your vehicles, and one monthly invoice for the company.
Martock is known for its golden hamstone terraces and older village cottages, with newer estates and detached houses filling in around them. For crews, the modern estates and end-terraces usually work best: off-street parking for vans, a utility space for wet kit, and three bedrooms where the numbers allow. Every house we shortlist is visited and checked for parking, heating and a kitchen that can feed a working crew properly, and anything that fails the visit never reaches your inbox.
The village sits close to Yeovil, so we also shortlist across the town's edges and neighbouring villages such as Stoke-sub-Hamdon and South Petherton. A five or ten-minute drive often buys easier parking and a bigger house for the money, and around here that drive is quick lane, not queue. Your crew gets a whole property regardless, and we give you the honest drive time to site before anything is booked, so there are no morning surprises.
Crews working across South Somerset book with us for construction and housing development around Yeovil and the A303 corridor, manufacturing and engineering work at the area's industrial sites, logistics along the A303 and A3088, and maintenance on the older hamstone housing stock that gives this district its look. We keep job references generic on purpose — your contract stays your business — but the pattern is steady trades work that needs a proper house near site, with a washing machine and a driveway.
The A303 corridor means rotating contracts: when one job finishes, another often starts within commuting range, and foremen would rather keep the same house than move the crew and lose the best part of a day to it. If your dates might shift, tell us up front and we will shortlist with flexibility built in, favouring landlords who are used to extensions rather than rattled by them.
Martock's position is its strength: the A3088 runs north to the A303, Yeovil is roughly ten minutes east, and the A303 carries traffic west towards Ilminster and the M5 at Taunton or east towards Wincanton and the A37. From one well-placed house, crews can reach sites across a wide patch of Somerset and into Dorset without changing address, and that stability saves money, mileage and temper across a long job.
Crews run vans, so we rank options by real drive time from the site postcode at shift-start, not off-peak averages that lie politely. Send us the location and we shortlist accordingly — and if a house that looks close on the map is actually a slog through Yeovil traffic at half seven, we will tell you that first and put a better option at the top of the list instead.
Every KrewBase let is a whole property — no shared corridors, no hotel schedules, no breakfast cut-off. Bills go in our name: council tax, gas and electric, water and broadband. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is checked against the actual vehicles, and for crews of five or more we look for two bathrooms as standard. A weekly clean with fresh linen is included, and maintenance calls come to us rather than to anyone on site.
Rent and bills arrive as one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum stay. Send the site postcode, crew size and dates, and we aim to return a checked shortlist within two working hours. The decision is then a simple yes or no, the house is held, and the crew can concentrate on the job with the accommodation sorted and the paperwork down to one page.
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 receiving the site postcode, crew size and dates. Each option is checked and available, with photos, parking notes and honest drive times, so you can say yes or no without chasing anyone and the crew is not hanging around as the start date arrives.
Martock itself, Stoke-sub-Hamdon, South Petherton and the villages between here and Yeovil. If a Yeovil-edge house gives the crew a shorter run to site and easier van parking, that is what we will shortlist — the commute leads, and the postcode follows.
We only shortlist houses where your vans fit, and the parking is photographed and measured against the vehicles you list. Village streets around the older core can be narrow, so driveways and forecourts are what we look for, and we say on the listing exactly what will be waiting when the crew gets back.
One monthly invoice covering rent and all bills, paid by card. No booking fees, no agent extras, one finance contact for the whole stay — whatever the size of the crew — and a single reference your accounts team can match to the job without a paper chase.
Extensions are routine rather than exceptional. Give us as much notice as you can and we will hold the house, or move the crew to an equivalent property nearby with no gap in accommodation. It helps if you mention the possibility when you first book, because it changes which houses we recommend.
We do. The crew reports a fault to us, we book the tradesperson, and it gets fixed without your gaffer losing a morning on the phone to a letting agent. The weekly clean and linen change are part of the same arrangement, so the house stays decent however long the contract runs.
