Nettleham, East Midlands • England
Three miles north-east of Lincoln, in the LN postcode area of England's East Midlands, Nettleham is one of the most sought-after villages in the county — and a practical base for crews working across the Lincoln area. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats in and around Nettleham: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against your vehicles, and one monthly invoice to your company.
Nettleham is a proper village: older cottages around the green and church, post-war semis along Nettleham Road, and larger detached houses on the newer edges towards Sudbrooke. For crews, the semis and detached houses on the village fringes are the winners — drives, gardens, room for vans. We skip the older centre cottages with no off-street parking. Every shortlist includes bedroom, bathroom and parking detail so you know exactly what you're getting.
Most crews we house here are working across Lincoln and the wider county. That means construction and housing development on the city's edges, fit-out and maintenance work in the centre, healthcare staff on contracts at the county's hospitals, and logistics crews using the A46 and A15 corridors. Because Nettleham is a desirable village, houses here suit longer placements as much as short cover jobs.
Nettleham Road runs straight into Lincoln in about ten minutes, and the A46 bypass skirts the village, linking Newark to the south and the A1 beyond it. Market Rasen is roughly eleven miles north-east up the A158. Lincoln Central station has regular trains to Nottingham, Sheffield and Doncaster if any of the crew commute by rail. For sites outside Lincoln, we shortlist by drive time from the postcode you give us.
It's the whole house, with KrewBase holding the tenancy and every bill in our name — council tax, gas, electric, water and Wi-Fi, which we speed-test before check-in. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms, and parking is checked against your actual vehicles. A weekly clean and fresh linen keep the place straight, and any maintenance goes straight to us.
There's one monthly invoice to your company, paid by card, and no booking fees. No minimum crew size and no minimum stay — tell us what the job needs and we'll match the house to it, whether that's a two-bed semi for a pair of sparks on a three-week fit-out or a five-bed place for a full gang on a year's housing site.
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 the site postcode, headcount and start date and you'll have a shortlist within two working hours. Each house on it shows the drive time to site, parking, bathrooms and weekly rate, so you can make the call the same day the job comes in.
Yes — Lincoln itself, plus Sudbrooke, Reepham, Cherry Willingham and the villages along the A158 and A46. If the job's site sits further out towards Market Rasen or Newark, we shortlist from those areas too, always by drive time from the postcode.
Absolutely. A whole house means no hotel corridors or complaints about odd hours — your crew come and go as the rota demands. Blackout lining and a quiet residential street help day sleepers, and the weekly clean is worked round shift patterns.
We only shortlist houses where we can deliver decent broadband, and we speed-test it before check-in. If a property can't hit a workable speed — some rural edges of the LN area struggle — it doesn't make your list. Streaming, calls and evening admin are all expected.
Almost always, yes. Extensions are a quick conversation with your KrewBase contact rather than a new search, because we hold the tenancy. If the house genuinely can't run longer, we'll overlap — move your crew into an equivalent property nearby so the job doesn't pause.
Cost is the obvious one for stays over a week, but it's also about living properly: a kitchen, a washing machine, parking outside, space to spread plans out. Hotels in Lincoln fill fast with tourists in summer. A crew house is yours for the duration, however long that turns out to be.
