Rodborough, South West • England
Rodborough is a hillside town just south of Stroud in Gloucestershire, within the GL postcode area and minutes from the M5 at Junction 13. Stone-built terraces and semis climb the slopes above the Stroud valleys, and crews working anywhere along the M5 or across the Cotswolds often base here. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking verified, one monthly invoice.
Rodborough's housing is mostly Cotswold stone — solid terraces and semis on steepish streets, with newer estates towards Cainscross and the lower ground. The newer houses generally suit crews better: level driveways, gardens for kit and two bathrooms are far easier to come by. Storage matters more than people expect — tools, PPE and suitcases all need a home, so we check cupboards and sheds too.
Hillside parking is the one thing we watch closely. We check every shortlisted property against your actual vehicles, and if a steep lane or permit zone won't work for vans, we say so and offer something flatter in the valley instead. We also weigh up the street itself — lighting, turning space for a van, and how far the nearest shop is for an early breakfast.
Crews based around Rodborough and Stroud cover a broad mix: construction and housing development across the district, work on local infrastructure and public buildings, and roles supporting healthcare services around Stroud and Gloucester. The area's mills and light industrial sites also bring in manufacturing and engineering crews. When the project list is long, being well-placed between sites saves more hours than any other single decision.
Because the M5 and A46 are both close, many crews here rotate between Gloucester, Cheltenham, Cirencester and sites deeper into the Cotswolds. We place by real drive time to your site, whatever direction it's in. The mix changes with the seasons, but demand for decent crew housing around Rodborough stays steady year-round. Work across the South West moves from site to site, so we keep our lets flexible rather than tying you to one address.
Rodborough sits just off the A46 a mile from Stroud, and Junction 13 of the M5 is only a few minutes away — so Gloucester, Cheltenham and the motorway network are all within easy reach. Cirencester is about eleven miles east across the Cotswolds. Late finishes and early starts are normal in this trade, so we look for routes that stay sensible outside the nine-to-five.
Stroud station is close by, with regular services to Gloucester, Cheltenham and Swindon. For sites off the main roads — and there are plenty in the valleys — we shortlist by tested drive time rather than straight-line distance. When we're not certain of a route, we say so and shortlist on tested drive time rather than promising numbers we can't stand behind.
Your crew gets the whole house — no shared hallways, no per-person hotel bills. We keep council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband in our name, speed-test the Wi-Fi before check-in and confirm parking for your vans. Your office deals with one supplier and one invoice; your crew just gets on with the job. The paperwork is straightforward: one agreement, one monthly invoice, no hidden extras hiding in the small print.
Crews of five or more get two bathrooms, plus a weekly clean and fresh linen. Maintenance comes straight to us, and your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew or stay length — a small crew on a short job gets the same service as a big crew on a long one. If something's not right in the first week, we move fast to fix it or move the crew. Comfort isn't a luxury on a long job.
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.
Normally within two hours of your enquiry. We'll send suitable houses around Rodborough, Stroud and the valley floor with parking details and drive times to site, and check-in usually follows within a few working days. If the headcount changes mid-job, we adjust — adding or dropping a room is a phone call, not a renegotiation.
Yes — Stroud, Cainscross, Thrupp, Chalford and the villages along the A46 and towards the M5. If a flatter, easier-parking house in the valley beats a hillside one, we'll show you both and explain the trade-offs. If the headcount changes mid-job, we adjust — adding or dropping a room is a phone call, not a renegotiation.
It can be, which is exactly why we check it. We verify space for your actual vehicles before offering any property, and where a steep lane or permit street won't take vans, we steer you to houses with proper driveways instead.
Everything: rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband, plus the weekly clean and linen. One invoice per property, monthly, paid by card, with no booking fees. Your office deals with one supplier. Set-up is handled before check-in, so the first night in the house feels like the fiftieth.
Yes. The whole property is yours, so coming and going at odd hours disturbs nobody. We can also arrange clean and linen days around shift patterns — just tell us the rota when you book. You get one point of contact at KrewBase from first call to final checkout.
KrewBase does. If the heating, a lock or an appliance fails, your crew calls us and we arrange the repair, usually the same or next day. It's covered under the booking and never lands on your site team. Nobody on site has to think about the accommodation after handover — that's the point of it.
