Overseal, East Midlands • England
On the Derbyshire–Leicestershire border in the DE postcode area, Overseal sits in England's East Midlands within a short drive of Swadlincote, Moira and Burton upon Trent. KrewBase houses work crews in whole serviced properties here, every bill in our name, Wi-Fi tested before arrival, one monthly invoice to your company. With the A444 close by and the M42 corridor to the south, it's a practical base for crews working across South Derbyshire and into the National Forest.
Overseal is a compact former mining village, and the housing around it is mostly red-brick terraces along the old pit rows, semi-detached 1930s and post-war houses, and neat estates in the newer parts of the village. For crews we lean towards the streets with off-street driveways and space between neighbours, which are plentiful around Overseal, Moira and Woodville. We walk away from anything with shared access, thin parking or a single bathroom for a bigger crew. The larger family houses just outside the village centre take four to six comfortably.
Crews come to this patch for the steady churn of work that keeps the border towns running: housing development and refurbishment, local infrastructure repairs, utilities and grid maintenance, and factory and warehouse fit-outs from Swadlincote down towards Burton and across into Leicestershire. Being close to the M42, it's also a sensible dormitory base for crews working across the wider East Midlands. We don't tie ourselves to any one site or client — we just put crews near wherever the job is.
The A444 passes right by Overseal, linking the village towards Moira, Ashby-de-la-Zouch and the M42 at the southern end, with Burton upon Trent to the west off the A511. Swadlincote is a couple of miles up the road and Ashby around seven. The nearest rail stations are Burton and Tamworth. If the site is somewhere less obvious, give us the postcode — we measure drive times properly and shortlist houses that cut the commute, not add to it.
Every booking is a whole house or flat for your crew alone. Bills — gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband — stay in our name, Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, and parking is verified against your actual vehicles. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms as standard. A weekly clean and fresh linen are included, maintenance is our problem, and your company pays paid by card against one monthly invoice. No booking fees, no minimum stay.
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.
Both. Overseal has a good stock of solid family houses, and when the village itself can’t take a crew we look across Moira, Woodville, Swadlincote and the A444 corridor. Send the site postcode and we shortlist within two hours, inside a realistic drive-time circle rather than a guess.
Generally yes — the estates around Overseal and neighbouring Moira have driveways and wider streets that take vans and pickups. We still check every shortlisted property against the vehicles your crew actually brings, so you’re not juggling permits or blocking the street on night one.
There’s no minimum. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months. We simply match the property size to the crew — a tidy two-bedroom semi rather than an oversized house — so you’re not paying for empty rooms.
All bills stay in KrewBase’s name and your company receives one monthly invoice covering rent, utilities, council tax and Wi-Fi, payable paid by card. No deposits for your workers, no booking fees, and a single accounts contact whether the stay runs two weeks or the best part of a year.
The whole property, all utility bills, council tax, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, a weekly clean with fresh linen, and maintenance handled by us. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms as standard. Parking is verified before we send the shortlist.
Usually, yes. Extensions are common in this line of work, so if your finish date moves, tell us as early as you can and we’ll hold or extend the booking subject to the property’s availability. A quick message is all it takes — no new contract or rebooking fee.

If Overseal is short on the right house for your crew, Derby is the obvious back-up, roughly 14 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Derby page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
