Peterborough, East of England • England
Peterborough is a cathedral city in Cambridgeshire, in England's East of England, in the PE postcode area, straddling the A1(M) and the East Coast Main Line between London, Cambridge and the Midlands. KrewBase places working crews across the city in whole serviced houses and flats — bills, Wi-Fi and parking all in, one monthly invoice to your firm, and none of the hassle falling on your lads. Big gang or small crew, long job or short, the setup works the same.
Peterborough's stock runs the full range: Victorian terraces in the older quarters, big interwar semis along the main avenues, and extensive modern estates in the growth areas to the south and west. Estates such as those off the parkway routes suit crews well — drives, garages, wider plots. We filter every option for off-road parking, bathroom count and the practical stuff people only notice when it goes wrong: heating that works, broadband that holds, neighbours who don't mind a 5am start.
Peterborough sits at a crossroads, so demand comes from every direction: logistics and warehousing on the A1 and A47 corridors, manufacturing and food production across the city's industrial estates, construction on the housing growth areas, rail work on the East Coast Main Line, and healthcare agency staff covering the city's hospitals and community teams. Crews working across Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and the wider East of England often base here for the road and rail links.
The A1(M) runs past the western edge, the A47 crosses east–west, and the parkway system keeps traffic moving within the city. Stamford is about 15 minutes north, Huntingdon around 25 south, and Cambridge roughly 40–50. Peterborough station is a major stop with fast trains to London in around 45 minutes and services to Cambridge, Leeds and the Midlands. For sites out in the Fens we shortlist by measured drive time and quote the commute plainly.
You get the whole property 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, parking is checked against your actual vehicles, and five or more people get two bathrooms so shift changes don't queue. Fresh linen and a weekly clean are included, and every maintenance issue comes to us, not to your lads and not to a letting agent's voicemail.
One monthly invoice covers the lot — rent, bills, Wi-Fi, parking, the weekly clean and maintenance — paid by card with no booking fees. There's no minimum crew size and no minimum stay: whether it's a two-person job or a twenty-strong gang, the quoting and setup work the same way. And if the programme grows, we extend the let or add another house under the same simple paperwork.
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.
Around two hours in working time. Give us the site or sites, headcount, dates and shift pattern, and we'll return vetted options with photos, parking layout, bedroom sizes and tested broadband speeds — bookable the same day for urgent starts.
The whole city and the surrounding towns and villages — from the central terraces out to the southern and western estates, plus Whittlesey, Yaxley, Market Deeping and Stilton if the site points that way. We shortlist by drive time from your site rather than drawing a circle on a map.
Yes, as standard. Before booking we check the property's parking against your actual vehicles, trailers included. Peterborough's estate stock usually delivers drives or garages, and we avoid anything that leaves a working crew fighting for kerb space after a late finish.
Everything household: rent, council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband, the weekly clean and linen, and maintenance call-outs. One figure per property, each month, paid by card, with no booking fees and no mid-stay utility surprises for your accounts team to untangle.
Yes. Two people for a fortnight get the same full setup as a large gang on a long job — there's no minimum crew size or stay. The property is sized to the crew and priced accordingly, but nobody gets a worse deal for being a small job.
We do, end to end. The crew reports to our maintenance line and we sort the plumber, heating engineer, locksmith or appliance repair. Your people aren't waiting in on days off and your firm isn't paying for call-outs on top of the invoice.
