South Hayling, South East • England
South Hayling is the southern end of Hayling Island, in Hampshire, in the South East of England, in the PO postcode area, reached by the A3023 over Langstone Bridge from Havant. Crews on island and coastal jobs base here for the sea air and the short run to Portsmouth. KrewBase provides whole serviced crew houses — bills in our name, Wi-Fi ready, parking for your actual vehicles — billed as one monthly invoice.
South Hayling mixes post-war semis and chalet bungalows around Mengham with newer estates towards the south of the island and along the seafront roads. A lot of the island's stock is holiday-facing, and seasonal lets don't work for working crews, so we shortlist year-round residential houses with proper heating, real parking and space for kit. The filter points are the same as anywhere: the vehicles must fit, the kitchen must feed the crew, and the bedrooms must take working people, not just weekend bags.
Island and coastal work covers housing development and repairs across the island's communities, coastal defences and seafront maintenance, utilities, tourism-sector upkeep, healthcare cover for the area and logistics serving Havant and Portsmouth. Some crews cross the bridge daily to mainland sites; others work the island itself. Either way we shortlist by real drive time — the bridge is the one road, so timing around it matters more than miles.
The A3023 is the island's single spine, running north over Langstone Bridge to Havant in about ten minutes, with the A27 and M27 beyond for Portsmouth, Chichester and Southampton. There's no railway on the island — Havant is the railhead — and Portsmouth's ferries and Gosport links are close if the job hops the water. One road on, one road off: we plan commutes around the bridge and position crews accordingly, especially for early mainland starts.
You let the whole house, bills are in our name and Wi-Fi is tested before your people arrive. Parking is checked against the actual vehicle list, houses sleeping five or more get two bathrooms, and weekly cleaning with fresh linen comes as standard. Maintenance calls come to us. One monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees, no minimum crew size or stay — the quote is the price, and your accounts team deals with one document a month.
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.
Two working hours during the day in most cases. Send the site, crew size, vehicle list and start date, and we'll return whole houses on South Hayling — or further up the island and in Havant if the drive time suits — each with bills in, parking confirmed against your vans and Wi-Fi tested before anyone packs a tool bag.
The whole island — Mengham, Eastoke, Northney and over the bridge into Havant and the A27 corridor. If your site is on the mainland, we'll weigh up the bridge crossing honestly in the drive time and shortlist either side of it. Your crew's commute is planned around the one road on and off the island, not ignored.
Island properties vary — chalet bungalows with a single space, semis with proper drives — so we check every listing against your actual vehicles before it reaches you. If the crew rolls up in a Transit and two cars, we confirm the spaces fit on day one. Nobody on our shortlist relies on 'usually fine'.
Yes — council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are in our name and in the rate. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in and the heating's on when your crew arrives, whoever's first through the door. No meter readings, no supplier calls, no final-bill arguments — it all sits behind one monthly invoice, paid by card.
That's how every booking works. One invoice a month covering rent and all bills, with full VAT detail and payment by card. No booking fees, no service charges appearing later. If you need costs split by project or cost centre, tell us at the start and we'll format the invoice that way from the first month onwards.
Beyond a few nights, the house wins comfortably. Your people get a kitchen, laundry, parking on the drive and room to keep different shifts without waking the day sleepers. The all-in monthly figure normally beats hotel rooms plus subsistence once you add breakfasts and evening meals — and there's one invoice instead of a shoebox of receipts.

If South Hayling is short on the right house for your crew, Portsmouth is the obvious back-up, roughly 5 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Portsmouth page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
