Stanton Fitzwarren, South West • England
Stanton Fitzwarren sits a few miles north-east of Swindon in Wiltshire, England — a small SN-postcode village where the A361 heads out towards Wantage and Oxford. There is no hotel strip and little rental stock here, which is exactly why crews working across north Wiltshire come to KrewBase. We supply whole serviced houses and flats: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice covering everything. Whether it's a two-man gang or a full crew, we sort the house so you can get on with the job.
The village itself is mostly older stone and brick cottages along narrow lanes, so crews are usually best placed in the newer estates on the northern Swindon fringe and around Highworth, where post-war semis and detached houses come with driveways, gardens and room to breathe. Those spots suit vans, tools and early starts far better than a tight village street where a pickup barely fits. The older cottages can work for very small crews where parking is arranged separately, but for most gangs the estates are the answer.
Every property we shortlist is walked through our crew checklist before it reaches you: off-street parking measured against your actual vehicles, a second bathroom where five or more are staying, Wi-Fi speed-tested for a full crew online at once, and a landlord who understands shift work rather than expecting a show home. If a house doesn't work for a trades crew, it doesn't make the list — no exceptions, because a bad house costs you time every single day.
Crews based here are usually working across Swindon and the north Wiltshire corridor: construction and housing development on the town's growing edges, rail work along the Great Western line, logistics tied to the M4 distribution parks, and a steady run of NHS and healthcare roles across the area. There is also local infrastructure work in the villages — utilities, highways maintenance and the like — that keeps smaller gangs moving between sites week to week.
We don't tie you to a single site. If your job moves from one side of Swindon to the other, or out towards the Oxfordshire border, we re-shortlist around the new drive time rather than leaving you with a commute that quietly eats an hour of the working day. The house should fit the job, not the other way round.
The A361 runs from the village towards Wantage and Oxford, the A420 heads south-east the same way, and Swindon itself is only a few minutes down the road. For teams fanning out further, the M4 at junction 15 opens up the whole region, and Swindon station on the Great Western main line gives rail options for staff travelling in from Bristol, London or the Thames Valley.
When you send us the site postcode, we shortlist by actual drive time at your shift hours, not guesswork or a mid-magic map estimate. A house that looks close on paper but sits behind a school run or a slow junction can easily cost your lads twenty minutes each way, and that kind of dud gets binned before you ever see it.
You get the whole property, not a handful of hotel rooms with a kettle each. Bills — gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband — go in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is checked against your real vehicles, and houses sleeping five or more get two bathrooms. A weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place decent, and any maintenance issue, from a dripping tap to a boiler at 7am, is our phone call rather than yours. That matters on a long contract, where the small daily frictions — a slow shower queue, a parking ticket, a cold radiator — are what actually wear a crew down.
You receive one monthly invoice covering rent, bills and cleaning together, payment by card are standard, and there are no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay. Tell us the site postcode, headcount and dates, and we'll have a checked, bookable shortlist back within two working hours. If something breaks, one message to us sorts it — there's no landlord awkwardness for your gaffer to manage and nothing ever comes out of the crew's wages.
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.
Send the site postcode, headcount and dates and we'll come back with a matched shortlist within two working hours. We check drive time at your shift hours, parking against your actual vehicles, bathroom count and Wi-Fi before anything goes on the list, so you're not wasting evenings on houses that were never right for the crew in the first place.
We shortlist across the surrounding area — Highworth, the northern Swindon estates and the villages along the A361 — wherever the drive time to your site genuinely works. Most crews end up in the newer estates nearby because the driveways, gardens and space suit vans and kit far better than the older village cottages ever could.
Yes, and it's a hard filter rather than an afterthought. We ask what you're bringing — vans, pickups, a trailer — and only shortlist properties with off-street space that genuinely fits them, checked and confirmed before you commit. A crew of six with three vans needs a very different driveway from a two-man job, and we plan for that.
Yes. Gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband all go in our name and into the one monthly figure. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, so your lads can stream, video-call home and do the evening paperwork without fighting a dodgy connection — if a property can't deliver that, it doesn't reach the shortlist.
That's exactly how we work. One invoice per property per month covers rent, bills and the weekly clean — no shoebox of receipts from the lads, no surprise extras at the end. Payment is by card are standard, we can set up new company accounts quickly, and your accounts team deals with one clean document per house.
Three things: the site postcode, how many people and for how long, and anything out of the ordinary — night shifts, pets, oversized vehicles or kit that needs storing on site. With that we can price accurately, match the right house type to the crew, and send a checked shortlist within two hours of your enquiry.
