Somerton, South West • England
Somerton, between Yeovil and Glastonbury in Somerset, South West England, sits in the TA postcode area with the A372 and the A303 close by. KrewBase houses working crews here in whole serviced properties with bills in our name — gas, electric, water, council tax and Wi-Fi — and one monthly invoice to your company. Farm work on the Levels, housing development in town, or a contract moving around mid-Somerset: wherever the site sits, we shortlist by measured drive time from the gate.
Somerton is a small Somerset town between Yeovil and Glastonbury, often called the ancient capital of Wessex. The housing is a quiet mix: stone cottages and townhouses around the market square, brick semis from the post-war decades, and a scattering of newer estates on the edges. Crews tend to land in the semis and estate houses — off-street parking, straightforward van access, and a garden for muddy boots and kit.
We apply the same filter everywhere: parking measured against your vehicles, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, a kitchen that can handle a crew's cooking, and a second bathroom for five or more where the local stock allows. Every let is the whole house, so your crew isn't sharing a hallway with strangers or explaining a 5am start to the neighbours. Consistency matters more than charm when a crew's living somewhere for months.
Somerton sits in the heart of the Somerset Levels, and the work around here is practical countryside industry: agriculture and food production, housing development in the town and the nearby villages, highways and drainage work across the Levels, and utilities maintenance along the A303 and A372 corridors. Drainage and road maintenance keep crews busy here in ways visitors never see.
It's also a natural base for crews contracted across mid-Somerset — Yeovil's manufacturing work, Glastonbury and Street's commercial belt, and sites dotted along the A303. Wherever the site is, we shortlist by drive time from the gate rather than by town name, so the house lands where the commute is shortest and the working day starts at the site. The A303 keeps the whole region within reach, which is rather the point of basing here.
The A372 runs west from Somerton toward Bridgwater, while the A303 passes a few miles south — the main east-west artery for crews working across the South West. Langport is four miles west, Yeovil about nine miles south, and Glastonbury roughly 14 miles north-west. Street's retail and employment belt is a similar distance for supplies and crew changes. For rail, Yeovil's stations are usually the simplest bet.
For rail, crew changes usually go through Yeovil Pen Mill or Yeovil Junction, or Castle Cary a bit further west on the main Paddington line. If your site is out on the Levels, send the pin — we'll measure the real drive and put the house where the commute is shortest, because map distance and road distance are different things down here.
Your crew gets the whole property: no shared lets, no landlord in the spare room. Bills — gas, electric, water, council tax — are in our name. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is checked against the vehicles you actually run, and five-plus crews get two bathrooms wherever we can source them. Weekly clean and fresh linen keep the place decent while the job runs.
Maintenance comes to us, and you get one monthly invoice, paid by card — no booking fees, no minimum crew size, no minimum stay. Send the site postcode, headcount and start date and we'll usually have a shortlist back within two hours, often the same working day. Extending the stay is usually just a phone call if the job runs over.
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.
Around two hours from a straightforward enquiry. Give us the site pin, crew numbers and start date, and we'll come back with whole houses in Somerton and the surrounding villages, each checked against real drive time from the gate rather than guessed from a map.
Somerton itself, Langport, Keinton Mandeville, Charlton Mackrell, Street, Glastonbury and toward Yeovil. If a house just outside town shortens the commute, we'll show you that instead and explain the drive-time numbers so you can judge the trade-off rather than take our word for it.
Yes — we favour properties with drives or garages and confirm space against your vehicle list before booking. Crews running trailers should tell us, and we'll check turning room too, because a tight lane off the A372 is no place to learn your trailer's limits.
That's how it works. One invoice per crew house each month, payment by card, covering rent and all bills. No booking fees, and nobody on site fronts utility money — your accounts team sees a single line item per property. It's the arrangement most of our Somerset crews use.
Yes — gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are all in our name and in the rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in so your crew can phone home, stream and do admin from day one, all within the one monthly invoice.
Your crew contacts us, we coordinate the repair with the landlord, and it's sorted without involving your site manager. All maintenance is handled within the same monthly arrangement — no extra charges, no chasing contractors, no lost working time. One call to us is all it takes.
