South Petherton, South West • England
A few miles off the A303 in south Somerset, South West England, sits South Petherton — TA postcode area, between Yeovil and Ilminster. 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. Jobs around Yeovil, along the A303 corridor or scattered across the South Somerset plain: wherever the site lands, we shortlist by actual drive time, not by a guess at the nearest postcode.
South Petherton is a handsome hamstone village in south Somerset, a few miles off the A303. The local stone gives it its look: golden cottages and townhouses around the square, post-war semis in the newer pockets, and some larger detached houses on the lanes out toward the Levels. Crews are usually best served by the semis and edge-of-village properties — driveway parking, easy access, and no wrestling a van past medieval corner posts.
Every shortlist property gets the same treatment: parking confirmed against your vehicle list, Wi-Fi speed-tested, a kitchen that can feed a working crew, and two bathrooms for five or more where the stock allows. All lets are whole properties — your crew gets the keys and the place to itself, and nobody's explaining a shared hallway to a site manager at 5am.
South Petherton sits in the orbit of Yeovil and the A303, and the work reflects both. Crews come for housing development in and around the village, agriculture and food production across the South Somerset plain, highways and infrastructure work along the A303 corridor, and the broader manufacturing and engineering base around Yeovil. Rolling contracts suit the monthly-invoice model particularly well here.
It's also a practical base for crews whose contracts move around — a week near Ilminster, a month toward Crewkerne, a stint up the A303. Wherever the site lands, we shortlist by measured drive time, not by a guess at the nearest postcode, so the house is always on the right side of the job and the commute stays sensible.
The A303 passes a few miles north of the village — the main route east toward Wincanton and the M3, or west toward Ilminster, Taunton and the South West. Yeovil is about eight miles west, Ilminster five miles south-west, and Crewkerne a similar distance south. Martock and Langport are close neighbours for everyday supplies. For crew changes, Crewkerne's Waterloo-line station is the simplest option.
Crews travelling by rail use Crewkerne station on the Waterloo to Exeter line, or Yeovil Junction for the Paddington route. If your site sits out on the Levels or up toward the A303, send the pin and we'll measure the real drive before shortlisting — that five minutes on a map can be twenty in a van on a wet morning.
Your crew gets the whole house for the duration. Bills — gas, electric, water, council tax — are in our name. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is checked against the actual vehicles, and five-plus crews get two bathrooms wherever we can source them. A weekly clean and fresh linen keep the place straight while the job runs, and maintenance is our phone call, not yours.
One monthly invoice covers everything paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew size or stay. Send the site postcode, headcount and start date, and a shortlist usually comes back within about two hours — often the same working day when the job's urgent. Extending the stay is usually just a phone call if the job overruns.
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 about two hours for a straightforward enquiry. Give us the site pin, crew numbers and start date, and we'll come back with whole houses checked against real drive time from the gate, measured on a working morning rather than guessed from a map.
The village itself plus Martock, Ilminster, Yeovil, Crewkerne and the A303 villages. If a house outside the village cuts the commute, we'll show you the numbers and let you judge the trade-off, because the right house is the one that shortens the drive, not the one nearest the office.
Yes — we shortlist properties with driveways or off-street space and confirm it against your vehicle list before booking. Trailers and pickups included; tell us what you're running and we'll check turning room as well, so day one starts smoothly.
All bills — gas, electric, water, council tax — plus broadband are in our name and in the rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in. Your accounts team pays one invoice, card payment, no booking fees, and nobody on site fronts utility money or chases receipts.
Usually, yes. Let us know as soon as you know and we'll extend the same house if it's free, or move the crew to an equivalent property nearby. The monthly invoice just carries on — no rebooking fees and no paperwork reset for your accounts team.
Site postcode or pin, crew headcount, and start date. Helpful extras: vehicle list, night-shift pattern, and expected duration. With those, most shortlists go out the same day, checked against real drive time from the site gate. The more detail you give us, the tighter the shortlist we can send.
