Newquay, South West • England
Newquay sits on Cornwall's north coast in the TR postcode area, a resort town that works as hard as it plays, with the A30 and A39 linking it to the rest of the South West. KrewBase houses work crews here in whole serviced properties with bills, Wi-Fi and parking already in place, so a crew landing for a job in Newquay or across mid-Cornwall has a proper base from day one. Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card.
Newquay's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the older streets to interwar semis and large post-war estates on the town's fringes, with a scattering of newer builds filling the gaps. For crews, the estates and semis tend to work best: driveways, gardens, sensible layouts and a bit of space between the house and the neighbours, which matters when shifts start before dawn.
We shortlist for the practical stuff rather than the view: parking that fits vans rather than just hatchbacks, two bathrooms where five or more are staying, heating that handles a wet Atlantic winter, and a kitchen big enough to cook a proper meal. Properties on the busiest summer streets are avoided unless the job genuinely needs the crew in the middle of town.
Behind the surf-town image there is a working economy. Construction and housing development run year-round, the tourism and hospitality sector drives constant maintenance and refurbishment work, and crews also come through for healthcare, logistics and public-service jobs across mid-Cornwall and the surrounding towns. Summer pressure on accommodation makes early booking wise, so we flag confirmed dates as soon as the job is fixed.
We keep job specifics out of it and focus on what we can control: matching a house to your site, your headcount and your shift pattern. Whether the job is three weeks or the best part of a year, the property has to fit the crew properly, which is why bathroom count and parking are checked at shortlist stage rather than discovered on arrival night.
The A392 cuts through town to the A30, Cornwall's main east-west spine, and the A39 Atlantic Highway runs south towards Truro and beyond. Truro is roughly twelve miles away, and the rest of mid-Cornwall falls within an easy drive once the crew are on the main roads. Newquay Airport on the town's edge is handy for crews flying in, and the branch rail line links to the main network at Par. Wadebridge and the estuary-side villages are short runs for jobs across the river.
For sites elsewhere in the county we shortlist by drive time from the job, not by a pretty location on the map. Summer traffic around the resort is part of that calculation, and we plan for the crew's actual dates, including early starts that need a clear run before the holiday queues build. Airport transfers and station pickups are factored into arrival plans so day one starts smoothly.
The crew gets the whole property: kitchen, living space, washing machine and proper beds, with gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband all held in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, five or more people means two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen comes as standard, keeping the place decent between shifts. Outside space helps too, even a small yard, somewhere to shake off wet gear before it reaches the hallway.
Repairs and maintenance land on us, not on your crew or your office. Your company receives one monthly invoice covering everything paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum stay or crew size, so a two-person job for a month is handled with the same care as a bigger long-term booking. The invoice looks the same at month-end whether the crew cooked every night or ate out.
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.
For most enquiries we return a shortlist within about two hours during the working day, once we have your headcount, site and dates. We check parking, bathrooms and Wi-Fi on each option beforehand, so the shortlist is real choices rather than a list of adverts you still have to verify yourself.
Yes. Depending on where your site sits we shortlist across Newquay itself, Porth and the surrounding settlements, and further afield towards St Columb Major or the A30 corridor. The shortlist follows the commute, so a property a few miles out that saves twenty minutes each way is exactly what we want to show you.
Checked and confirmed before you book, not assumed. Many Newquay properties have driveways suited to one or two vans, but the tighter town-centre streets do not, so we match the property to your vehicles and say plainly where on-street is the only option. Summer congestion is also factored into commute estimates.
That is standard. One monthly invoice covers rent, bills, cleaning and linen, payable paid by card, with no booking fees. Individual crew members never front costs on personal cards, and your accounts team deal with one named contact for the whole stay, which keeps the paperwork painless.
No. Small and large crews are handled the same way, and stays can run from a few weeks to many months. The property has to fit the crew properly, which is why bathroom count and parking are checked at shortlist stage rather than discovered on arrival, whatever size the crew happens to be.
For anything beyond a few nights, a house wins on cost, space and practicality: kitchen, laundry, parking and room to decompress, usually for less per head than separate hotel rooms. Hotels still suit very short stays, but crews on multi-week jobs tend to settle better, eat better and rest better with a front door of their own.

Newquay sits about 42 miles from Plymouth. Plenty of crews working here base themselves in the city and drive out, especially on longer jobs or when the local supply is thin. Our contractor accommodation Plymouth page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
