Norwich, East of England • England
Norwich is East Anglia's biggest city, and jobs across Norfolk tend to pull crews towards it. KrewBase houses trade crews working in and around Norwich: whole serviced houses and flats in the NR postcode area, with bills, Wi-Fi and parking all in and one monthly invoice going to your company. Whether the job is a city centre fit-out or a site out towards the A47 or A11, we shortlist by drive time so the commute stays short and the house fits the work.
For crews, the sweet spots are usually the city's outer rings rather than the centre: areas like Thorpe, Sprowston, Taverham, Costessey and the Plumstead roads, where post-war semis and estates offer driveways, gardens and the kind of space a working household needs. Closer in, the Victorian terraces near the riverside and the Golden Triangle suit smaller crews who want to walk to shops and amenities.
Our filters stay the same everywhere in the city: off-road parking sized to your vehicles, two bathrooms for crews of five or more, and a proper kitchen-diner that can handle a full crew's breakfast before an early start. Every property is inspected before it reaches a shortlist, whatever the postcode and whatever the listing photos claim. Norwich stock varies enormously street by street, and the inspection is what separates the two.
Norwich draws construction and fit-out work across the city, housing development on the fringes, healthcare contracts at the hospital and across the community teams, plus logistics and manufacturing jobs around the city's industrial estates. Crews covering sites elsewhere in Norfolk often base here too, because the road and rail links make everywhere else reachable without living out of a hotel.
We plan each placement from the actual site postcode. A crew on a south-city estate doesn't want beds up by the airport, and a crew working the A11 corridor doesn't want the far side of the river. That postcode-first habit is the difference between a sensible crew house and a daily frustration, so it's how every Norwich shortlist starts. Tell us the sites, even the likely ones, and we'll balance the placement across them rather than betting on one.
The A47 skirts the south of the city towards Great Yarmouth and west towards the Midlands, the A11 runs south-west towards Thetford and Cambridge, and the A140 heads south towards Ipswich. The Northern Distributor Road links the outer suburbs without dragging traffic through the centre, which is why the outer-ring estates work so well as crew bases. Vans park off-road, the morning run skirts the worst of the traffic, and the houses are built for households rather than portfolios.
Norwich station has direct trains to London Liverpool Street, Cambridge and the coast at Great Yarmouth and Cromer. We use real drive times when shortlisting, which matters in a city where crossing town can take as long as leaving it, and when a contract moves sites we re-shortlist from the new postcodes to keep the run short. It matters more here than in most cities, because crossing Norwich at rush hour can double a short journey.
Your crew gets a whole property, not beds in a shared let with a stranger on the sofa. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are all in our name, Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, and parking is confirmed against the actual vehicles on the booking, from a pair of cars up to a full van fleet, and the spaces are confirmed in person before the booking is signed, whatever the listing claimed.
Weekly cleaning and fresh linen are included, maintenance comes straight to us rather than to your site manager, and your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card. There are no booking fees, no minimum crew size and no minimum stay, so short jobs get exactly the same service as long ones. Extensions continue on the same invoice, and if the job moves to a new site we re-house the crew rather than re-papering everything.
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.
Most of the city and its outskirts, from Thorpe and Sprowston across to Costessey and Taverham, with the inner terraces for smaller crews. Tell us the site postcode and we shortlist by drive time rather than guesswork, so the house sits on the right side of the city for wherever the job actually is.
About two hours for a shortlist is typical, once we have the postcode, headcount and dates. Check-in usually follows within a few working days of your choice. If the start is genuinely urgent, say so and we'll flag the properties that can turn around fastest instead of offering a list padded with maybes.
Yes. One monthly invoice covers rent, bills, cleaning and linen for the whole stay, paid by card, and multiple properties or an extending booking still land on the same simple paperwork. Your accounts team gets a single contact, a single document, and no booking fees added at any point.
Not if we plan for it. We ask what vehicles the crew brings and only shortlist houses with off-road space that fits them. Tighter city streets are fine for cars, but vans need driveways and we treat that as standard across every Norwich shortlist rather than an optional extra.
Yes, broadband is part of the rate and in our name, and we speed-test it before check-in. Nobody should spend their first evening in a new city on hold to an internet provider, and if the connection fails during the stay, fixing it is our problem, not the crew's or your company's.
Both are routine. Extensions stay on the same monthly invoice, and if the job shifts to another part of the city or out into Norfolk, we re-shortlist from the new postcode and move the crew. The aim is always the same: the house fits the job, for as long as the job lasts.
