Strood, South East • England
Strood sits on the south bank of the River Medway in Kent, in the ME postcode area of South East England, joined to Rochester by its bridge and about thirty miles south-east of London, with the M2 running past the town. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats for working crews here, with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking that fits your vehicles, and one monthly invoice rather than a stack of receipts.
Strood is largely Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the old town centre, post-war semis and council estates on the higher ground, and some newer infill closer to the river. Terraces work for a couple of workers who want the station and shops on foot; semis are the crew-house standard, with driveways, spare rooms and space for kit. Every option we shortlist is checked for parking, bathroom count and a decent night's sleep before it reaches you.
Crews based in Strood are usually on construction and housing development jobs across Medway and north Kent, with others on rail work along the Chatham main line, utilities and energy jobs, logistics around the M2 and the ports side of the Thames, and healthcare shifts in the local hospitals. The Medway towns sit close together, so one crew house can cover several sites. We shortlist by drive time from whichever site you give us.
The M2 and A2 are both minutes away, carrying you west towards the M25 and London or east towards Sittingbourne and Faversham, while the A228 heads north to the Hoo Peninsula. Strood station has fast services into London St Pancras and across Medway, and Rochester's shops and station are a short walk over the bridge. Give us the site postcode and we rank every property by the real morning commute, traffic included.
Your crew gets the whole property to itself. Bills go in our name: council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is checked against the vehicles you list, and five or more people get a second bathroom as standard. A weekly clean and fresh linen are part of the rate, any maintenance is our problem not your gaffer's, and your office gets one monthly invoice, paid by card with no booking fees.
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.
Inside two working hours. Send headcount, vehicle sizes, site postcode and dates, and we will come back with vetted houses or flats that fit. You pick, we book, and we hold backup options in case the programme slips. Quotes are free and carry no obligation.
The town centre terraces, the estates on the higher ground and the streets towards Rochester and Frindsbury are all familiar ground, and we will look across the Medway towns where the drive time works. Send the site postcode and we shortlist by morning drive time rather than a line on a map.
Yes. Every shortlisted property has parking checked against the vehicles you list, vans included. Semis on the estates usually have a driveway; period streets may need permits, which we confirm before booking. Give us the van sizes with your enquiry and day one is painless.
One monthly invoice covers rent, council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband, the weekly clean and linen. Terms are card payment, there are no booking fees, and nobody has to chase individual crew members for money. Your accounts team processes it once and files it.
Yes. A whole-property let means the crew is not disturbing other guests, and we flag quiet streets and blackout-friendly options when nights are in the mix. Self check-in with a key safe works well for rotating crews. Tell us the shift pattern and we will shortlist accordingly.
Four things: how many people, what vehicles, the site postcode or location, and the dates. With that we turn a vetted shortlist around in about two working hours and hold backups if dates move. The quote costs nothing and carries no obligation to book.
