Skeeby, Yorkshire and the Humber • England
A mile or so east of Richmond, Skeeby is a small North Yorkshire village in the DL postcode, set where the A6108 leaves the Swale valley and climbs towards the Dales. Crews working across Yorkshire and the Humber — from the Catterick area to jobs along the A1(M) corridor — often find a village base like this quieter and better value than a town hotel. KrewBase takes whole serviced houses in and around Skeeby, puts the bills in our name and sends your business one monthly invoice.
Skeeby itself is a compact stone-built village — handsome cottages, a few larger village houses and farm conversions with room outside for vehicles. Within a mile, Richmond adds solid terraced streets, semis and modern estates, so crews can choose between a quiet village base and a town house with shops and a chippy on the doorstep. Parking is the big filter this far out: a pretty cottage with no room for a van is no use to anyone, so we shortlist only properties with genuine off-street space and check it against the actual vehicles.
The Richmond and Catterick area pulls in work of all sorts: housing development around the market towns, construction and maintenance on rural estates, energy and grid jobs crossing the region, and the steady flow of contracts along the A1(M) corridor. Healthcare staff heading for the hospitals at Darlington and Northallerton pass this way too. Whatever the trade, the pattern is the same — a small crew needs a proper house for weeks or months, not a hotel room per person. That's the gap KrewBase fills, with whole properties on one invoice.
Skeeby sits on the A6108, a mile from Richmond and around four miles from Catterick. The A1(M) at Scotch Corner — where it meets the A66 — is roughly eight miles away, opening routes south towards the Midlands or east across the Tees. Darlington is about fourteen miles for bigger shopping runs or crew changes, and Leeming Bar's services are close by on the A1. If your site moves around the dales, tell us the locations and we'll shortlist by drive time rather than pinning you to one village.
One property, one crew, one invoice. Rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband all sit in KrewBase's name, and Wi-Fi is tested before your people walk in. A weekly clean and fresh linen are included, maintenance calls come to us, and there are no booking fees or hidden extras. Your accounts team gets a single monthly invoice paid by card. If the job runs long, extending the stay is a quick phone call.
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.
It's the first thing we check. Village properties around Skeeby and Richmond need off-street space for vans, so anything without a drive or a generous hardstanding doesn't make our list. Before check-in we confirm the parking against the vehicles actually arriving — a crew of four with two transits needs that room to be real, not theoretical.
Send the site location, crew size and dates and you'll usually have a shortlist within two working hours. We work from vetted stock across the Richmond area rather than starting a cold search, which is what keeps it quick. Once you've chosen, we can normally have keys ready within a day or two, sometimes sooner.
The whole area — Richmond, Catterick, Brompton-on-Swale, Gilling West and the villages between. Crews are rarely tied to one village, so we shortlist by drive time to your site. Tell us where the work is and we'll cover the sensible radius around it.
Yes — one monthly invoice to your business covering rent and every bill, paid by card with no booking fees. You won't need to collect a penny from your crew. The invoice can carry your job number or cost code so it drops straight into your accounts package.
Everything is: council tax, gas, electric, water and Wi-Fi are in our name and wrapped into the rate. We test the broadband speed before check-in so the crew's tablets, calls and streaming actually work. Any bill that ever goes wrong is chased by us, not your lads.
Extensions are routine. Give us as much notice as you can and we'll either extend the same property or line up an alternative nearby, keeping the same one-invoice arrangement. Long-running jobs across the dales are common, so the paperwork is built to flex.
