Oadby, East Midlands • England
Oadby sits on Leicester's southern fringe in the East Midlands, England, in the LE postcode area, along the A6 with the M1 and M69 a few minutes west. It's a well-kept residential suburb that suits crews working across Leicester who want quiet streets and off-road parking. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats in Oadby and the suburbs around it — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against your vehicles, one monthly invoice to your company.
Oadby is largely interwar and post-war semis and detached houses on quiet residential grids off the A6, with drives and garages far more common than in inner Leicester. That makes it one of the easier places around the city to house a crew properly — room for vans, gardens for kit, and neighbours used to quiet family streets. We shortlist the houses with real parking and rule out the few that don't have it.
Most crews here are working across Leicester: construction and fit-out in the city centre, housing development on the urban fringe, healthcare contracts at the city's hospitals, logistics around M1 junction 21 and the M69, and manufacturing across the wider area. Oadby's appeal is the commute — most of the city is inside twenty minutes, so crews lose less of the day to the road.
The A6 runs straight into Leicester in around fifteen minutes, and the M1 at junction 21 with the M69 is a short run west — from there the M1 north and south and the M6 link are all straightforward. Wigston and South Wigston sit next door, and Market Harborough is a run south on the A6. If your site is somewhere off the main routes, we shortlist by drive time from the postcode you give us.
You take the whole house; KrewBase takes the tenancy and every bill in our name — council tax, utilities, broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is checked against your actual vehicles, and a crew of five or more gets two bathrooms. A weekly clean and fresh linen keep the house straight while your crew gets on with the job, and maintenance calls come to us.
Your company gets one monthly invoice paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum stay, and no fuss about crew size — we've placed two-person teams and full site gangs in houses like these, and the service doesn't change with the headcount. If the job runs over, extending is a quick call rather than a new search, because the tenancy is ours, not yours.
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.
Two working hours from getting the site postcode, crew size and dates. Suburbs like Oadby move quickly but there's steady stock, and we'll show you drive time to site, parking, bathrooms and the weekly rate for each option on the shortlist.
Yes — Wigston, South Wigston, Blaby, Countesthorpe, Littlethorpe and the other southern Leicester suburbs, plus the city itself if the commute works better that way. We shortlist by drive time from your site, whichever side of Leicester it's on. The commute from any of them into the city is short, so it rarely matters which side we search.
Usually, yes — this is one of the easier areas around Leicester for it. Interwar semis tend to have drives and garages. We still check every shortlisted house against your actual vehicles, because a few streets are tighter than they look.
The whole house with every bill — council tax, gas, electric, water, Wi-Fi — in KrewBase's name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, crews of five or more get two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen is included in the rate.
One monthly invoice to your company, paid by card, covering rent, bills, Wi-Fi and the clean. One named contact at KrewBase for queries. Your accounts team won't be reconciling utility bills or chasing a landlord — it's one line on one invoice.
Almost always. Because we hold the tenancy, extending is normally a quick conversation. If the house genuinely can't continue — rare, but it happens — we arrange an equivalent nearby and manage the move so your crew lose minimal time.

Oadby sits right on the edge of Leicester. 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 Leicester page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
