Stawell, South West • England
Stawell is a small Somerset village in England's South West, sitting in the TA postcode area between Bridgwater and Glastonbury just off the A39. There is no hotel strip and barely any rental market here, which is precisely why crews working across mid-Somerset call KrewBase. We provide whole serviced houses and flats for teams in this part of the county: bills in our name, Wi-Fi ready before check-in and one monthly invoice. You give us the site and headcount; we handle the roof over the crew.
Stawell itself is a scatter of cottages and farmhouses, so crews are normally housed in the villages and small towns within an easy drive — towards Bridgwater, Glastonbury and along the A39 in either direction. Those places have the kind of stock that actually suits a working crew: sensible post-war semis, small modern estates and the odd larger farmhouse let, with driveways and gardens instead of kerb-space battles on narrow lanes.
We check every property against your real needs rather than a brochure photo. Vehicle sizes and turning space come first — rural lanes punish a badly parked van — then bathroom count for five or more, broadband that holds up for a full crew, and a landlord happy with working tenants on shifts. Anything on a lane that won't take your largest vehicle is ruled out before it wastes your time.
This part of Somerset sees a rotating mix of crews through the year: construction and housing development in the surrounding towns, energy and grid work across the county, and the agricultural and food-processing side of the Levels keeping maintenance and fit-out teams busy through the seasons. There is NHS and healthcare work around Bridgwater and Glastonbury, plus the endless round of highways and utilities maintenance that flat country generates. Bridgwater's retail and industrial edges are close in the other direction, so the same base covers a surprising spread of mid-Somerset work.
Because the jobs here are scattered — one week east towards Bridgwater, the next west towards Glastonbury, sometimes out towards the coast — we shortlist by drive time from your actual site rather than a fixed address that leaves half the crew commuting the wrong way. When the job moves, the shortlist moves with it. Summer brings its own rush, when sites staff up and decent accommodation across mid-Somerset tightens within days.
The A39 links the village west towards Glastonbury and Street, and east into Bridgwater in around ten minutes, with the M5 a short hop beyond for jobs up and down the corridor. The A361 and A303 are reachable to the south and east for teams working towards Taunton or Yeovil, and the Levels roads themselves are quick outside of harvest traffic — though they take patience when the tractors are out.
Tell us the site postcode and we shortlist around measured drive times, including a realistic 6am estimate rather than a quiet-midday one. On flat Somerset roads the difference is usually small, but the wrong village can still add twenty minutes a day — and over a long contract that is time and fuel your gang doesn't need to burn. In practice that means the shortlist follows the contract, not the map, and your lads are never driving past a better option on their way to site.
The whole property is yours for the duration — every room, every bed, no sharing with strangers. Bills are in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is verified against your actual vehicles, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms so nobody is queueing at 5am. Weekly cleaning and fresh linen are included as standard, and all maintenance comes to us rather than to your gaffer on site.
You get one monthly invoice — rent, bills and cleaning combined — paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay. A small gang on a short job gets exactly the same standard of house as a full crew settling in for months. Send the site, headcount and dates and a checked shortlist follows 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.
Stawell is a small village, so we don't promise houses inside it — we shortlist across the surrounding area within a sensible drive of your site, towards Bridgwater, Glastonbury and along the A39. Every option we send is a whole serviced house with bills in, parking checked and Wi-Fi tested, so you're never vetting properties yourself.
Two working hours from your enquiry, provided we have the site postcode, headcount and dates. We check drive time, parking against your vehicle list, bathroom count and Wi-Fi first, so the shortlist is genuinely bookable rather than a pile of maybes that would need a second round of viewings to sort through.
Yes — parking is a hard filter, not an optional extra. We ask what you're bringing and only put forward properties with off-street space that fits it, verified before you commit. In rural Somerset that also means checking turning room and lane access, because a big van down a narrow lane is nobody's idea of a good start to a shift.
All of them: gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband are in our name and wrapped into the one monthly figure. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in so the lads can stream, call home and handle paperwork in the evening without a fight over bandwidth. Nothing is ever billed to your crew at the end of the month.
Yes — one invoice per property per month covering rent, bills and cleaning, on standard payment by card. There are no booking fees, nothing lands on the crew's card at checkout, and we can set new company accounts up quickly. Your accounts team deals with one clean document per house instead of a stack of receipts.
Tell us as soon as you know. Extensions are usually straightforward where the house allows, agreed on the same terms so there's no renegotiation halfway through. If the job moves, we'll re-shortlist around the new postcode and drive times rather than leaving the crew with a commute that quietly doubles in the second month.
