Peterlee, North East • England
Peterlee is East Durham's post-war new town, in the SR postcode area between Hartlepool and Sunderland, a short hop from the A19. Built for the coalfield communities, it's laid out in planned estates with wide roads and green space — which makes parking and crew logistics easy. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses here: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, one monthly invoice to the company.
Peterlee was planned, and it shows. The estates are arranged in neat loops of semis, terraces and townhouses with green between them, and most houses come with a drive or a garage as standard. That suits crews perfectly: vans park off the road, kit stays dry, and there's usually a second bathroom in the newer stock. We still check every property against your crew size and vehicles, test the heating and broadband, and only put forward houses we'd put our own lads in.
Crews base in Peterlee for work across East Durham and the Tees edge: housing development and refurbishment in the new town and the older villages, industrial maintenance towards Hartlepool and the Tees, logistics running off the A19, and healthcare and public-sector jobs around the county. Some crews rotate between sites from Sunderland to Hartlepool and just need a central, easy base. A fixed crew house here works for all of it.
The A19 is the spine of it all: Sunderland in one direction, Hartlepool, Stockton and Teesside in the other, all within roughly half an hour depending on the site. The A1086 runs along the coast through the old pit villages, and Hartlepool's shops, suppliers and port are minutes away. We shortlist houses by drive time from your site postcode at shift hours — Peterlee's grid layout means most commutes are simple, but we check the real route anyway.
Your crew gets the whole property and lives like a household. All bills — gas, electric, water, council tax, Wi-Fi — sit in KrewBase's name, broadband speed-tested before check-in. Parking is confirmed for your vehicles, and houses sleeping five or more come with two bathrooms. Weekly cleaning and fresh linen are included, and maintenance comes to us. The company receives a single monthly invoice paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or 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.
Typically within two hours of your request — send the site postcode, crew size, dates and vehicle count and we'll return a shortlist. Peterlee's planned estates mean parking and space are rarely the problem, so matching usually comes down to the right bathrooms and the right commute.
Peterlee itself plus the surrounding villages — Easington, Horden, Blackhall, Shotton Colliery and out towards Wingate. If your site sits nearer Hartlepool or the A19 we'll shift the shortlist that way instead, and say so plainly rather than force the wrong side of town.
All three. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are in KrewBase's name and covered by the monthly rate — Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in — and parking is confirmed against your vans when you book, not discovered when you arrive on site day one.
Yes. One monthly invoice covers rent, all bills, the weekly clean and linen, paid by card, with no booking fees. If you're running crews in more than one house, they can be consolidated — tell us how finance wants it structured and we'll follow that.
For stays over a couple of weeks, the house normally wins on cost and practicality: full kitchen, washing machine, living room, parking outside, and no hotel breakfast queues before a 7am start. Your crew gets a home; finance gets one invoice instead of a stack of receipts.
KrewBase does. The crew reports any problem to us and we arrange the fix — heating, plumbing, appliances, locks — with a 24-hour line for urgent issues like no hot water. Nobody spends a morning waiting on a landlord or missing a shift over a boiler.

Peterlee sits about 13 miles from Middlesbrough. 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 Middlesbrough page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
