Ovington, East of England • England
Ovington is a small Breckland village in Norfolk, in England's East of England, in the IP postcode area, sitting a couple of miles west of Thetford off the A11. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses and flats for working crews across this part of Norfolk — bills, Wi-Fi and parking all in, and one monthly invoice to your firm rather than a pile of receipts. Crews turn up to a working kitchen, proper beds and a house that's cleaned weekly, whatever size the job.
Ovington itself is a handful of houses deep, so crews here typically stay in the nearby market town of Thetford or the villages along the A11 — modern estates with drives, older semis on the edge of town, and the odd larger rural property where a job demands it. What we filter for stays constant: off-road parking for the vehicles, enough bathrooms for the headcount, and neighbours who won't grumble about vans. Every option is checked in person before it reaches your shortlist.
This corner of Norfolk sees steady demand from crews on construction and housing development around Thetford's growth areas, forestry and land work across the Brecks, energy and grid maintenance in the rural network, and logistics running the A11 between Norwich and London. NHS and care agency staff covering the town's health services also need longer-stay setups. We don't need a project name — just the site, the crew and the rota.
The A11 is the spine of this area: Norwich is roughly 30–35 minutes east, and southbound it feeds the M11 towards London. Thetford is a couple of minutes away for supplies, and Attleborough, Watton and Brandon all sit within a short drive. Thetford station on the Breckland line links to Norwich and Cambridge by rail, handy for crew without vehicles. For sites deeper into the countryside we shortlist by real drive time, and we'll quote that honestly before you book.
One serviced whole-property let, bills in our name from day one: council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband all included. Broadband is tested before anyone checks in, parking is confirmed against your actual vehicles, and five-plus crews get two bathrooms so mornings don't queue. Fresh linen and a weekly clean are part of the deal, and every repair goes to our maintenance line — nobody on your crew is spending a rest day waiting for a plumber.
One monthly invoice goes to your company paid by card — rent, bills, Wi-Fi, cleaning and maintenance in a single figure. There are no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay, so a small job isn't priced out or pushed to the back of the queue. If dates move, we extend the let subject to availability, and where a house genuinely can't extend we line up the alternative before the original end date.
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.
Ovington is tiny, so crews are usually placed in Thetford or the A11 villages a few minutes away. We shortlist by drive time from your site and show you the commute for each option — nobody finds out about a 40-minute schlep after they've moved in.
Around two hours in working time. Give us the site location, crew numbers, dates and shift pattern, and we'll send vetted properties with photos, parking detail and broadband speeds, so you can book the same day and have the crew in within days rather than weeks.
Yes. Before any booking we check the property's parking against your actual vehicles — count, size, trailers if any. The estates around Thetford usually deliver drives or garages, and we pass over anything that leaves a working crew on street parking or permit zones.
It does: rent, council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband, the weekly clean and maintenance all sit inside one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no deposits, no mid-stay utility surprises, and no household admin or unexpected costs land on your crew.
Tell us and we extend the let, subject to availability and the same terms. There's no penalty culture — jobs slip, we know that. Where a property genuinely can't extend, we'll line up an alternative before the original end date so the crew isn't homeless on a Friday.
A house, nearly every time, for stays beyond a couple of weeks. Per-head cost is lower, the crew cooks properly, washes kit and parks vans off-road, and your firm gets one invoice instead of a stack of receipts. Hotels still win for one-night stops — we're honest about that.
