Shepton Mallet, South West • England
At the foot of the Mendip Hills in Somerset, South West England, sits Shepton Mallet — BA postcode area, where the A37 and A361 cross between Wells, Frome and the M5. KrewBase houses working crews here in whole serviced properties, no shared lets, with gas, electric, water, council tax and Wi-Fi in our name and one monthly invoice to your company. Whether the job is in town, out on the Mendips or anywhere across mid-Somerset, we shortlist by real drive time from the site gate.
Shepton Mallet sits at the foot of the Mendips in mid-Somerset, and its housing is a practical mix: stone-built terraces from its market-town days, post-war council houses and semis around the centre, and newer estates on the edges toward Wells and Frome. The edge-of-town houses suit crews best — room for two vans on the drive, a garden for kit, and none of the steep-centre parking headaches.
Every property we shortlist is checked the same way: parking against your actual vehicles, Wi-Fi tested, a kitchen that can take a working week's cooking, and a second bathroom for crews of five or more where the stock allows. Whole-property lets only — your crew gets the keys and the place to itself, and nobody's explaining a shared hallway to a site manager at 5am.
The Mendip area keeps a steady flow of crews coming through. Housing development in and around town, construction and maintenance work across the Mendip Hills, quarry and land-management jobs, highways work along the A37 and A361, and the broader logistics and manufacturing base of mid-Somerset all pull in teams for weeks or months at a time. Some crews come back to the same house year after year, which tells you the model works.
Shepton is also a sensible base for crews working across Somerset — Wells, Frome, Glastonbury and toward Bath are all within reach, and the M5 isn't far for jobs further afield. Give us the site pin and we'll shortlist by real drive time, whichever direction the job sits, rather than offering whatever house happens to be nearest the office. It's one of those towns that's equidistant from everywhere, which is rather the point.
The A37 runs south through Shepton toward Yeovil, and the A361 loops west to Glastonbury and the M5 at junction 23 — handy for Bristol or the South West generally. Wells is about five miles north-west, Frome ten miles east, and Bath around 18 miles north-east. Bristol is reachable in under an hour when the roads behave. For crew changes, Castle Cary's mainline station is often the simplest choice.
For rail, the nearest stations are Castle Cary, about eight miles south on the London Paddington to Penzance line, and Frome station to the east. Crews driving in usually arrive via the A303 or M5 and cut across on the A361. Tell us the site and we'll measure the actual commute before shortlisting, because the map and the road are rarely the same thing in a van.
Whole house, bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against the vehicles, weekly clean and linen change, and maintenance handled by us — not by your site manager. Houses sleeping five or more get two bathrooms wherever possible. Your crew just lives there and gets on with the job, and anything that breaks is our phone call.
You get one monthly invoice covering rent and every bill, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew size or stay. Send us the site postcode, headcount and start date, and a shortlist usually lands within two hours — often faster when the job's urgent. If the job overruns, extending is usually just a phone call. Quote today, shortlist today.
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 enquiry. Share the site location, crew size and start date, and we'll send whole houses in Shepton Mallet and nearby, each checked against real drive time from the site gate so nobody's commuting further than the job needs.
The town itself plus Wells, Frome, Glastonbury, Street, Cranmore and the Mendip villages. If a house outside town cuts the commute, we'll put it on the shortlist and explain the numbers, so you can judge the trade-off rather than take our word for it.
Yes — we favour edge-of-town semis and estates with driveways, and we confirm space against your vehicle list before you book. If a crew's running a trailer, tell us and we'll check turning room too, because reversing a van and trailer up a Somerset lane is nobody's idea of a good start.
That's the standard arrangement. One monthly invoice per house covering rent and all bills, payment by card, no booking fees. Your crew never fronts utility money and your accounts team never chases receipts — it's one line item per crew house, every month.
Your crew calls us. We coordinate the repair with the landlord and get it fixed, keeping your site manager out of it. Maintenance is our job, and it's covered within the same monthly arrangement — there's no extra charge for a callout in the middle of a job.
Yes. There's no minimum crew size and no minimum stay — a two-person team for a couple of weeks gets the same bills-in, Wi-Fi-tested, whole-house service as a long-term gang. Tell us what the job needs and we'll match the property to it.
