Stonehouse, South West • England
Stonehouse is a small town in Gloucestershire, England, sitting in the GL postcode area between Stroud and Gloucester with the Stroudwater Canal running through it and the M5 a short drive away. Crews still come to this part of the county for its manufacturing and engineering work. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats for teams here: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice. From a two-person job to a full gang on a long contract, the accommodation gets sorted properly.
Stonehouse mixes stone-built terraces from its industrial past with post-war semis and newer estates on the town's edges, so there's usually a good spread of stock to match different crew sizes. For most teams, the edge-of-town estates and the semis towards the canal are the winners — driveways, gardens and interiors built for daily life rather than weekend visitors. The older terraces can work well for smaller crews where parking is sorted separately and nobody's squeezing a van past 200-year-old stone gateposts.
Every house we shortlist is walked through our crew checklist: off-street parking that fits your actual vehicles rather than a hopeful estate-agent photo, two bathrooms for five or more, Wi-Fi speed-tested for a full crew online at once, and a landlord who understands shift work and muddy boots. Fail any of those checks and the house never reaches you — because a bad property costs your gang time every single day it goes unfixed.
This corner of Gloucestershire has a long engineering and manufacturing heritage, and crews still come for exactly that — factory maintenance, machinery installations, fit-outs and upgrades across the valleys, alongside construction and housing development in the towns and villages. The M5 corridor keeps logistics busy, and there's steady NHS, healthcare and local infrastructure work across the district keeping smaller gangs rotating between sites.
We don't anchor you to one site name or a single gate. If your contract covers several locations around the district, we shortlist by worst-case drive time so the whole crew stays within a sensible commute wherever they're sent that week. And when the work moves, we re-shortlist — the house should always sit between the crew and the job, wherever the job currently is.
The M5 is minutes away — north to Gloucester and the Midlands, south to Bristol and the south-west — and the A38 with the Stroud valley roads link the surrounding towns. Stonehouse has its own station on the Gloucester to Swindon line, which is handy for staff travelling in, and Bristol Parkway plus the wider rail network are a short drive for longer journeys. Most crews run vehicles, so road time is what we plan around.
Send us the site postcode and we measure drive time at your shift hours before shortlisting. A house that saves five minutes on the map but sits behind a level crossing, a school run or a queue at the wrong roundabout can easily cost more time than it saves over a full contract — we filter that out up front rather than letting you find it on day three.
The crew takes the whole property — every room, every bed, no sharing with strangers. All bills — gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband — are in our name, parking is checked against your vehicle list, Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, and five or more people means two bathrooms. A weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place civilised between shifts, and maintenance is our phone call to make, not yours, whatever time of day it goes wrong. The same arrangement holds for night-shift crews, where a broken boiler at 6am is still our problem to fix before the day sleepers notice.
You get one monthly invoice covering everything, paid by card, with no booking fees. There's no minimum crew size or stay either — two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months. The site postcode, headcount and dates are all we need for a checked shortlist back within two working hours. Your gaffer gets one point of contact for the whole booking, which keeps questions answered and problems short.
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.
Two working hours from your enquiry, provided we have the site postcode, headcount and dates. Every option is pre-checked for drive time at your shift hours, parking against your actual vehicles, bathroom count and Wi-Fi, so you can move from shortlist to booked without a wasted round of viewings or a last-minute scramble over where the vans will sit.
Usually the post-war semis and newer estates on the town's edges — driveways, gardens and easy road access to the M5 and the valley towns. The older stone terraces near the centre can suit smaller crews where parking is properly arranged and access is checked for the size of your vehicles. We'll match the house type to your crew size and vehicle list rather than sending whatever's available.
Yes. We shortlist by drive time from your site, so Stonehouse, Stroud, the valley villages and towards Gloucester are all in scope. If the best house for the crew sits in a neighbouring village, we'll put it forward with the drive-time maths so you can see exactly why it beats the closer-on-paper option that's slower at 7am.
Parking is a hard filter, not an extra we charge for. We take your vehicle list and only shortlist properties whose off-street space genuinely fits it — checked and confirmed before you commit, so the first night doesn't end with a negotiation over kerb space and a wing mirror you can't afford to lose.
Everything's in: gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband in our name, with Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in rather than promised from an old advert. The crew will never see a utility bill or a checkout balance, and evening downtime works properly for the whole house at once.
One invoice per property per month — rent, bills and cleaning combined — on standard payment by card. No booking fees, and setting up a new company account is quick. Your accounts team deals with one clean document per house instead of chasing receipts from the lads at the end of every month.
