Portsmouth, South East • England
Portsmouth is a working port city on the Hampshire coast, in the PO postcode area of South East England, where the M27 meets the M275. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats for contractor crews here — bills, Wi-Fi and parking all in, one monthly invoice straight to your office. From a two-person job to a full gang on a long contract, your crew gets a proper house, not a row of hotel rooms.
Portsmouth's housing stock suits crews well. The suburbs — Cosham, Hilsea, North End, Paulsgrove — are streets of solid semis and terraces with driveways and easy access to the M27. Southsea has handsome terraces but tighter parking, so we pick carefully there. Across the harbour, Gosport and Fareham are also in play for sites on the west side. We filter for off-road van parking, two bathrooms in bigger properties and space to live as well as sleep.
A port city runs on maintenance. Crews come to Portsmouth for logistics and port-related work, marine and manufacturing jobs, NHS and healthcare contracts, and steady construction and infrastructure work across the wider Hampshire coast. Housing development continues across the city's edges and the neighbouring towns. Whatever the sector, we just need the site location, crew size and dates to get a house sorted.
The M27 skirts the top of the city with the M275 dropping straight into Portsmouth, and the A3(M) runs north towards Petersfield and London. The M25 is reachable in about an hour depending on traffic. Portsmouth & Southsea and Portsmouth Harbour stations handle rail connections, and there are regular ferries across to Gosport and the Isle of Wight. For crews on sites out towards Waterlooville or Havant, we shortlist by drive time rather than sticking to the city boundary.
Your crew gets the whole property to themselves — house or flat — with gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband in our name. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is matched to the vehicles you tell us about, and five-plus crews get two bathrooms. A weekly clean and fresh linen come as standard, maintenance lands on us, and your company pays one monthly invoice, paid by card. There are no booking fees and no minimum crew size or stay, so a small job books as easily as a big one.
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 a couple of hours. Portsmouth has good stock, so once we know the site postcode, headcount and start date we can usually shortlist several whole houses that are genuinely available, with parking, Wi-Fi and bathroom numbers already checked. If your job is tight on time, say so and we will prioritise speed.
All of them, and beyond — Cosham, Hilsea, North End, Paulsgrove, Southsea, Fratton and the eastern suburbs, plus Gosport, Fareham, Havant and Waterlooville when the site sits outside the city. Tell us where the crew is reporting each morning and we will work out which side of the city cuts the commute.
Yes, and we treat it as non-negotiable. Suburban semis around Cosham, Hilsea and Paulsgrove usually have driveways for two or three vans, while some Southsea terraces do not — so those rarely make a crew shortlist. We confirm parking against your actual vehicles before check-in, not against a floor plan.
Everything is. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband stay in our name, so your crew pays one figure and your office gets one monthly invoice. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in and if a supplier bill ever goes wrong we chase it — your crew comes home to a working house, not a red-lettered one.
That is the standard setup. We open a company account, the crew moves in, and we send a single monthly invoice covering rent, bills, weekly cleaning and linen. Terms are card payment and there are no booking fees, so your accounts team deals with one line item instead of a pile of hotel receipts and utility refunds.
Yes. There is no minimum crew size and no minimum stay — a pair of sparks on a two-week job can book the same way a twenty-strong gang on a six-month contract does. Rates scale sensibly with the property rather than per head, so smaller crews are not priced out of a proper house.
