Southwater, South East • England
A couple of miles south of Horsham, Southwater is a sizeable West Sussex village that has grown into a practical base for crews working across the RH postcode. The A24 and A272 are minutes away, Gatwick sits to the north and the coast is an easy run south. KrewBase places work crews in whole serviced houses and flats around Southwater and Horsham — bills in, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against your vehicles, and one monthly invoice to the company office.
Southwater's growth over the last few decades means one thing for crews: modern estates. Detached and semi-detached houses with driveways, garages turned kit stores, and cul-de-sacs where a works van doesn't raise an eyebrow. Horsham's terraces and semis are ten minutes up the road when the budget needs stretching. We shortlist properties with real parking — a drive, not just a permit — decent heating for winter jobs, and enough bathrooms for the headcount. Tired rentals and no-parking terraces don't make the cut.
Crews base around Southwater for work right across West Sussex: housing development on Horsham's edge and the new estates spreading south, school and healthcare maintenance across the district, and logistics work feeding Gatwick and the A24 corridor. Some crews commute north into Crawley or south towards the coast, and plenty follow infrastructure jobs along the A272 and A29. The pattern is steady rather than flashy — long contracts, returning clients, crews that need a proper house for months at a time.
The A24 runs north past Horsham towards Dorking, Leatherhead and the M25, and south towards Worthing and the coast. Crawley and Gatwick are roughly fifteen minutes up depending on traffic, and the A272 crosses east-west towards Billingshurst and Haywards Heath. Horsham station, a short drive away, puts London Victoria within the hour for crews on rail. Give us the site postcode and we shortlist by drive time — the difference between the A24 at 7am and 9am is exactly the kind of thing we account for.
We let whole houses and flats to your crew alone — nobody shares with strangers. Bills go in our name so there's no meter-reading chase after a long shift, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is matched to the vehicles actually arriving. Five or more in the house means two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps longer stays decent. Maintenance is our line to answer, not yours. Your office gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees, and no minimum crew or stay length.
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.
Yes — Southwater, Horsham, Broadbridge Heath, Billingshurst, Mannings Heath and towards Crawley and Pulborough. Most crews here work across West Sussex rather than in one village, so we shortlist by drive time from the site postcode, wherever that lands on the map.
Around two hours on working days once we have headcount, dates, site postcode and vehicles. The Horsham area has decent turnover of family-sized houses, so short-notice bookings are often workable — more notice simply means more choice on the shortlist.
Modern estates mean real driveways, and we verify each one against your vehicle list before check-in. Garages get checked for actual van height too — it's the kind of detail that saves a phone call on the first night. Permit-street terraces are off the list unless nothing else works.
Yes: gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are all in our name and rolled into one monthly invoice, so the quoted rate is the real rate. No meter readings, no separate utility accounts, and no end-of-stay surprises for your accounts team to unpick months after the job has finished.
That's the standard arrangement. One monthly invoice, paid by card covers rent, bills and cleaning, with no booking fees. The crew just lives there and never fronts a penny; your finance team gets one tidy document per property instead of a pile of individual expense claims to chase and reconcile at month end.
Yes — tell us the shift pattern and we shortlist properties where odd-hour comings and goings won't bother anyone, with self check-in and key boxes where useful. We also make sure bedrooms can be properly darkened for daytime sleepers, and that the kitchen is stocked up enough for a crew eating breakfast at six in the evening.
