Over, East of England • England
Over is a village on the River Great Ouse in Cambridgeshire, in England's East of England, in the CB postcode area, a couple of miles east of St Ives and a short hop from the A14. KrewBase puts working crews into whole serviced houses and flats hereabouts — all bills, Wi-Fi and parking included, with one monthly invoice going to your firm. Crews get a proper kitchen, decent beds, a weekly clean and maintenance that never lands on their doorstep.
Over is a Fen-edge village: a compact old core of period cottages and terraces along the High Street, with post-war semis and small estates filling in towards Willingham and the river. For crews, the newer end tends to work best — drives for vans, back gardens, and enough space between neighbours that an early alarm doesn't start a war. We shortlist Over-area properties on parking and bathroom count before anything else, because those two things make or break a crew let.
Crews base around Over for work across Cambridgeshire and the Fens: construction and housing development spreading out from Cambridge and the market towns, energy and grid upgrades across the fen network, logistics using the A14 and A1 corridors, and rail engineering on the lines between Peterborough, Huntingdon and Cambridge. Healthcare agency staff on community placements in the district need settled bases too. Give us the site and the rota and we'll match the house to it.
The A14 runs a few miles south of Over, giving fast access east towards Cambridge and west towards Huntingdon and the A1(M). St Ives is minutes away, Huntingdon around 15–20 minutes, and Cambridge roughly half an hour depending on traffic. Huntingdon station on the East Coast Main Line covers rail commuters. Where a site sits off the beaten track, we shortlist by actual drive time from the gate rather than guessing from a map.
The whole property comes from us as one serviced let, with every bill in our name — council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in so evening streaming and site admin actually work, parking is verified against your vehicles, and five or more people means two bathrooms. A weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place straight, and any maintenance goes to our team, not to your lads on their day off.
Your firm gets one monthly invoice for the full stay, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay length. The crew handles no money and no paperwork, and your accounts team sees one predictable figure per property each month. If the programme slips, the let extends on the same terms — nobody is renegotiating mid-job, and nobody is left between houses at short notice.
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.
Typically within two hours. Send us the site postcode, headcount and dates, and we'll come back with checked options in and around Over — photos, parking layout, bedroom sizes and bathroom count — so your decision can be made the same day.
Yes — Over itself, plus Willingham, Earith, Fenstanton and the St Ives side of the river. If the best fit for your rota is a mile or two wider, we'll shortlist by drive time from site and tell you exactly what the commute looks like.
Everything household: rent, council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband, the weekly clean and linen, and maintenance call-outs. Your accounts team gets one predictable figure per property each month paid by card, and no crew member ever handles a household bill.
No. A pair of contractors on a two-week job get the same setup as a gang of twenty on a six-month one. The pricing scales with the property and stay, but there are no minimums and no booking fees either way.
Yes. When you tell us the rota, we shortlist houses where bedrooms and bathrooms can be arranged so night workers sleep undisturbed — separate bathrooms matter here. The weekly clean is scheduled around the shift pattern, and we favour quieter streets away from the village centre.
Every property is checked in person before it reaches your shortlist: broadband speed-tested, parking measured against real vehicles, appliances and heating working, and bedroom sizes verified against the photos. If a house around Over doesn't pass, it never reaches you.

If Over is short on the right house for your crew, Cambridge is the obvious back-up, roughly 10 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Cambridge page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
