Newburn, North East • England
Newburn sits on the north bank of the Tyne, west of Newcastle in the NE postcode area, where the A695 follows the old Roman road towards Heddon and Hexham. Scotswood Bridge and the riverside connect it to Blaydon and the west, and the MetroCentre is minutes away. KrewBase provides whole serviced crew houses here — bills in, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking for vans, and one monthly invoice for the company.
Newburn and the streets climbing away from the river are classic Tyneside: brick terraces in long rows, interwar semis on the corner plots, and pockets of newer housing around the old industrial sites. The semis work best for crews — a drive for two or three vans, a garden for kit, a second bathroom more often than not. Terraces suit smaller crews with one vehicle. We check parking against your actual vans and cut anything where the crew would be fighting for kerb space at 6am.
Crews based around Newburn are usually working across the west of Newcastle and the Tyne corridor — housing refurbishment in the older suburbs, construction on new development sites, rail work along the valley lines, and utilities maintenance for the network that follows the river. Some are on contracts that move between Gateshead, Blaydon and the city, and want one fixed address for the job's length rather than a new hotel each month.
The A695 runs straight into Newcastle's west end and out towards Heddon and Hexham, while the route through Scotswood drops you to the centre in around twenty minutes when the traffic behaves. The MetroCentre is a few minutes east for supplies and food. For sites elsewhere in Tyneside, we shortlist by drive time from your postcode — and because the Tyne crossings can stack up at rush hour, we sanity-check routes at shift-change times before recommending a house.
Everything domestic, basically. The house is let whole to your crew. Gas, electric, water, council tax and Wi-Fi are in KrewBase's name — broadband speed-tested before check-in — and parking is confirmed for your vehicles. Houses sleeping five or more have two bathrooms, weekly cleaning and linen are included, and maintenance is our job. One monthly invoice goes to the company paid by card. No booking fees, and small crews are just as welcome as big ones.
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.
About two hours from a booking request with the site postcode, headcount, dates and vehicle count. We check parking, broadband and bathrooms before anything reaches your inbox, so the shortlist you get is made of houses that genuinely fit your crew rather than whatever was available.
Newburn itself, plus Heddon, Ryton, Blaydon, Lemington and over towards the MetroCentre side of Gateshead. If your job moves between the west end and Gateshead, we'll position the house where the Tyne crossings won't eat your mornings, and say so plainly.
Yes — gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are all in KrewBase's name and covered in the rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and if a house on the shortlist can't hold a decent signal it doesn't stay on the shortlist.
One monthly invoice to the company covering everything — rent, all bills, the weekly clean and linen. Payment is by card, no booking fees, no per-person extras. If the crew size changes mid-job, the invoice stays the same shape; only the house occupancy moves.
The site postcode, number of crew, start and end dates, and how many vehicles you're bringing. With that we shortlist in around two hours and can usually confirm the booking the same day. Last-minute starts are fine — tell us the date and we'll work back from it.
In most cases, yes. Extensions are a normal part of contract work — jobs slip, phases overrun. Tell us as early as you can and we'll extend the let and carry the same terms forward, so your crew isn't packing up to move halfway through a job.
