Nempnett Thrubwell, South West • England
Nempnett Thrubwell is a small Mendip village in Somerset, in the BS postcode area, tucked into the lanes between Blagdon and Compton Martin about nine miles south-west of Bristol. KrewBase houses crews working across the Chew Valley and the Bristol fringe in whole serviced properties, with bills, Wi-Fi and parking settled before check-in. Your company receives a single monthly invoice, and nothing lands on a crew member's personal card.
A village this size has a modest stock of period stone cottages, a few farmhouses and scattered newer detached houses, so we rarely shortlist within the village alone. The search runs across the Chew Valley, taking in Blagdon, Compton Martin, Chew Magna and the lanes towards the A38, wherever a property gives the crew a fair commute to site without an awkward early-morning trek.
What we filter for stays consistent wherever the house sits: parking that genuinely fits work vans rather than a single hatchback, enough bathrooms for the headcount, heating suited to a Mendip winter, and a kitchen and living space the whole crew can use at the same time. If a pretty cottage fails on practicality, it does not reach the shortlist.
Crews based around here are typically on construction and housing jobs across the Chew Valley, the Mendip fringe and the south Bristol outskirts, with roofing, stonework and general building maintenance common on the area's older stock. There is also steady work supporting healthcare, logistics and local services across North Somerset and Bristol, all within an easy drive. Smaller one-off jobs, barn conversions and farm buildings fill the gaps between the bigger programmes.
Because the area is rural, exact site locations matter more than town names. Give us the site, the shift pattern and the start date, and we will match properties by real drive time, including for early starts that would make a city base pointless and night shifts where the crew need to sleep through the day undisturbed. We keep the references general on purpose; the property matching is where we add value.
The B3134 links the village with Blagdon and the A368, and from there the A38 and A37 open up Bristol, Bath and the M5. In practice most sites around the Mendips and North Somerset are reachable within about half an hour, depending on exactly where the job sits and what time the crew need to be through the door. Bath sits to the east when jobs run that way, and the M4 is reachable for crews arriving from further afield.
We shortlist by drive time rather than postcode. Tell us the site location and we will map sensible options, and if the crew travels in by train or plane, Bristol's stations and Bristol Airport are the natural arrival points for this area, with collection straightforward from either. The same approach covers crew changes mid-job, when a new van or a new starter shifts the calculations.
The crew takes the whole house: bedrooms, kitchen, living space and laundry facilities, with gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband all held in our name and included in the rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, properties for five or more carry two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen is part of the service rather than an extra.
Maintenance is ours to fix, invoicing is one monthly bill paid by card, and there are no booking fees or hidden extras. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months. Extensions and early finishes are handled through the same contact, under notice terms agreed upfront. Seasonal work in the Chew Valley changes headcounts fast, and the paperwork keeps up without fuss.
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.
A village this small rarely has suitable stock at the exact moment you need it, so we shortlist across the surrounding Chew Valley villages such as Blagdon, Compton Martin and Chew Magna, plus towards the A38. Every option on the shortlist is checked for parking, bathrooms and drive time to your site before you see it.
Send the headcount, site location and dates, and we aim to return a shortlist within about two hours in a working day. Rural areas need a wider net than towns, so the shortlist typically spans several villages rather than one street, but each option is a real, checked property rather than an advert we have not verified.
Yes. We note shift patterns at enquiry stage and shortlist accordingly, favouring properties where the crew will not be disturbing neighbours when they come and go at odd hours. Blackout-friendly bedrooms and a second bathroom help crews on rotating nights get proper sleep in the day, and we flag any property that would struggle with that pattern.
Yes. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are in our name and in the rate, Wi-Fi is tested before anyone checks in, and parking is confirmed against your actual vehicles. The crew arrives, unpacks and gets on with the job; nothing needs setting up in their names and nothing utility-related lands on a personal card.
Tell us the site location, crew size, dates and any vehicle or pet requirements. We come back with a priced shortlist, usually within about two hours in a working day, showing what each property offers on parking, bathrooms and commute. The price you see is the price on the monthly invoice, with no booking fees added later.
Extensions are common and normally simple. Give us as much notice as you can and we will confirm the current house can carry on, or line up a nearby alternative so there is no gap in accommodation. If the job finishes early instead, the notice terms in the agreement govern the checkout date, and we keep that paperwork plain.
