Rugby, West Midlands • England
Rugby, in Warwickshire, England, occupies the CV postcode area, right where the M1 and M6 corridors meet the West Coast Main Line — about 30 miles east of Birmingham and 15 from Coventry. Its position makes it one of the busiest contractor staging towns in the Midlands. KrewBase houses crews in whole serviced properties around the town, with bills, Wi-Fi and parking sorted before anyone arrives, and sends the company a single monthly invoice.
Rugby's stock is a Midlands mix: Victorian terraces in the older streets around the centre, solid 1930s semis through places like Hillmorton and Newbold, and wave after wave of modern estates on the outskirts — Cawston, Houlton, Brownsover and the areas pushing towards the M1. For crews, the semis and newer estates are the sweet spot: driveways, spare rooms, decent bathrooms. The older terraces work for smaller crews close to town. We only shortlist houses with realistic parking for your vehicles and space to actually live in.
Few towns are better connected for contractors. Rugby picks up construction and housing development crews from the endless estates going up around the town, rail work on the West Coast Main Line, logistics and distribution from the warehouses along the motorway spine, manufacturing work across Warwickshire, and energy and grid jobs radiating out from the midlands network. Crews working across the wider West Midlands region often base here because almost every corridor passes within a few miles.
The M1 skirts the east side of town with junctions 18 and 19, the M6 is a short hop west via the A14, and the A426 and A45 connect Coventry, Lutterworth and the M45 corridor. Rugby station sits on the West Coast Main Line, so London Euston is around an hour away and Birmingham, Northampton and Milton Keynes are all direct. In practice that means a Rugby base works for sites across three or four counties — and we shortlist by drive time from your specific site, whichever junction it sits near.
Every let is a whole house or flat — no sharing with strangers, no landlord hovering. Council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband and TV licence are in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is verified against your actual fleet, and five or more people means two bathrooms minimum. Weekly clean and fresh linen included, and all maintenance comes to us.
The company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card — no booking fees, no deposits, no minimum crew size or stay length. Send the site, the headcount and the start date, and a shortlist lands within two hours. From there it's a viewing if you want one, a signature, and keys ready for whatever hour the crew rolls in, even on a Sunday night.
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.
Within two hours of getting the site address, crew size and start date. Rugby has a deep pool of stock — semis, estates, terraces — so for most crews we can offer real choice rather than one take-it-or-leave-it option, and check-in can follow fast once the company approves.
Hillmorton, Newbold and Cawston are consistently popular for parking and house size, and the newer estates suit bigger crews. Central terraces suit smaller crews who want to walk into town. We're careful about matching the house to the side of town your site sits on, so nobody's commuting across Rugby at rush hour for no reason.
Yes — broadband is part of the bills-in deal and we speed-test it before check-in, because a crew streaming, video-calling home and doing admin in the evening will find out fast if it isn't up to scratch. If a property's connection is poor, it doesn't make the shortlist.
Usually, yes. Overruns are normal in this trade, so we build lets flexibly where the calendar allows. Tell us as soon as you know the date's moved and we'll extend the same house if we can, or move the crew to an equivalent property nearby if we can't — keeping the same one-invoice setup throughout.
Cost is the obvious one for stays beyond a week or two, but it's not the only one. A house gives the crew a kitchen, a washing machine, parking for vans and space to live around shift patterns — and per person it typically beats hotel rates by a distance. One invoice paid by card also beats a stack of hotel folios for finance to process.
We do. Every account — council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband, TV licence — sits in KrewBase's name for the length of the let. Your company never gets chased for a bill, and your crew never has to set up an account for a house they'll leave in two months.
