Staplegrove, South West • England
Staplegrove is a well-kept suburb on the north-west edge of Taunton in Somerset, England, in the TA postcode area, with the A358 running west towards Minehead and the M5 minutes away. Crews based here are within easy reach of the hospital, the town's growing housing sites and the whole M5 corridor. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats: bills in our name, parking that fits real vans and one monthly invoice. Small gang or big team, short job or long one, we sort the accommodation properly.
Staplegrove is largely post-war semis and detached houses on quiet residential roads, and that is exactly what makes it good for crews: driveways, gardens and neighbours used to ordinary working life rather than a hotel corridor at odd hours. The estates towards the Taunton boundary and around the A358 side of the suburb tend to give the best mix of parking, space and quick access out of town, which matters when the site is west towards the Quantocks rather than in Taunton itself.
We filter hard before anything reaches you. Parking is measured against your real vehicle list, crews of five or more get two bathrooms, Wi-Fi is speed-tested for a full house online at once, and we only work with landlords who understand shift work and muddy boots. Anything that fails any of those checks stays off the list — a pretty house that doesn't work for the crew is no use to anyone.
Staplegrove crews are usually working across Taunton and the wider Somerset area: construction and housing development around the town's expansion zones, NHS and healthcare work at the hospital and across the district, logistics linked to the M5 corridor, and the steady stream of local infrastructure and maintenance jobs that keep Somerset moving through the year. Some gangs cover a patch rather than a single gate, moving between sites from week to week. Winter contracts around the hospital and the M5 bring their own rhythm, and a settled house with a proper kitchen beats any room-only deal for crews doing long stretches.
Because contracts here move around, we don't anchor you to one address. The same whole house works for a short job and then rolls on if the job does, and if the site shifts from one side of Taunton to the other we re-shortlist by drive time instead of leaving the crew with a pointless new commute. Either way, the work is steady enough that a proper house beats any room-only arrangement after the first fortnight.
The M5 is minutes away, opening up work north towards Bridgwater and the wider south-west, or east towards Wellington and Exeter via the A38. The A358 runs west through towards Minehead for jobs out that way, and Taunton station on the Bristol to Exeter line handles rail travellers arriving without vehicles. The town's hospital and northern employment areas are a short drive or, from the right street, an easy walk.
Send us the site postcode and we shortlist on real drive time at the hours your crew actually travels. A house that is five minutes closer on paper but ten minutes slower at 6am behind school traffic doesn't make the cut — we check the practical commute, not the theoretical one, before anything reaches your inbox. The A358 side of the suburb also keeps the Minehead-bound jobs within reach without dragging the crew through the town centre twice a day.
You take the whole house, and we take the hassle. All bills — gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband — are in our name, the Wi-Fi is tested before anyone moves in, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place civilised between shifts. Maintenance comes to us: a boiler problem at 7am is our phone call to make, not yours, and it gets dealt with whether the crew is on days or nights.
One monthly invoice covers everything, card payment is standard, and there are no booking fees and no minimum stay or crew size. A small gang on a fortnight's job gets the same whole house and the same service as a full team booked in for half a year. Give us the site postcode, headcount and dates, and a checked shortlist lands back with you within two working hours.
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 — send the site postcode, headcount and dates and we'll return a shortlist within two working hours. Every option is already checked for drive time at your shift hours, parking that fits your actual vehicles, bathroom count and Wi-Fi, so what you see is genuinely usable rather than a list of houses you'd have to vet yourself.
It's one of the better spots around Taunton. The suburb is mostly semis and detached houses with driveways and gardens, and we only shortlist properties where the off-street parking genuinely fits your vehicles — vans, pickups or a trailer — confirmed before you book. That filter alone saves most of the usual accommodation headaches for a working crew.
We shortlist across north-west Taunton and the surrounding Somerset villages — wherever the drive time to site stacks up best. If the strongest house for your crew sits just outside the suburb, we'll put it forward and show you the drive-time maths so you can see why it beats the closer-on-paper option that loses time in rush-hour traffic.
Yes. Rent, bills and the weekly clean roll into one monthly invoice per property, on standard payment by card. Your accounts team deals with one document per house instead of a shoebox of receipts from the lads, there are no booking fees, and nothing gets charged back to the crew when they check out.
No. Two people for a fortnight get the same whole house, the same bills-in setup and the same weekly clean as twenty for six months. Whole-property lets mean the price scales with the house, not with some arbitrary minimum headcount, so you never pay for beds you don't need or nights you don't use.
We do. Any repair issue goes straight to us, day or night, and we chase it until it's fixed. Because we place crews in proper houses on normal residential streets, with neighbours used to working patterns, late returns aren't a drama — and if a boiler goes at 7am, it's our phone call, not yours.
