Tamworth, West Midlands • England
Tamworth straddles the Staffordshire–Warwickshire border in the West Midlands of England, in the B postcode area, sitting where the M42 meets the A5 around 14 miles north-east of Birmingham. It is a proper working town with a castle, two rivers and a busy rail station. KrewBase places crews working in and around Tamworth in whole serviced houses and flats — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice for the lot.
Tamworth's stock covers the full range: Victorian terraces near the town centre, solid interwar semis in Mile Oak and Glascote, and post-war plus newer estates spreading toward Two Gates and the retail parks. Crews usually land on the semis — drives that take vans, three bedrooms, a downstairs loo, and neighbours who think nothing of a 5am start. We check heating, hot water capacity and parking in person before anything reaches your shortlist.
Flats near the station suit smaller crews of two or three on shorter jobs, and there is a decent supply of them. Whatever the size of the job, we match the property to the headcount rather than squeezing six blokes into a two-bed because it was available. The monthly invoice is the same either way: one line, card payment, no fees.
Tamworth sits on one of the busiest logistics corridors in the country, with distribution, warehousing and manufacturing work around the M42 junctions, alongside construction on the town's expanding estates, maintenance of the older housing stock, and care and NHS shifts at the local hospital. Crews working across the east side of Birmingham, into Lichfield or down toward Coventry often base here and cover a fortnight of sites from one address.
We keep the specifics generic on purpose — your contracts are your business. The common thread is practical: early starts, dirty kit, and the need for a real home base with a washing machine, not a travelodge by the motorway. None of it needs a concierge — it needs a proper house and a parking space that fits the van.
The M42 at junction 10 sits on the town's doorstep, the A5 cuts straight through, the A51 runs to Lichfield and the A453 drops to Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham. Tamworth station is on the Birmingham–Derby line, with trains into Birmingham New Street in around 20 minutes. Birmingham is roughly 30 minutes by road, Lichfield 15, Sutton Coldfield 15 — so one house here genuinely serves a wide patch.
Rush hour bites on the A5 and the approach to the M42, so we rank shortlisted houses by the real morning drive from your site postcode, not a straight line. Tell us the job location and we will do the arithmetic honestly. The shortlist is free, and it takes the sting out of the first morning. School-run and retail-park traffic on the A5 is factored into the arithmetic, because that is when crews actually drive it.
The crew gets the whole house or flat, with rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is verified against the vans you actually run, and five or more people gets you two bathrooms wherever possible. Weekly cleaning and linen are included, maintenance calls come to us day or night, and your accounts team gets one monthly invoice, paid by card.
No booking fees, no finder percentages. Send the site postcode, headcount and dates and a shortlist lands within two hours; dates can be pencilled while the job firms up, and extensions take a message rather than a negotiation. If the job shifts across the region mid-booking, we can re-site the crew closer to the new postcode. Extensions are a message, not a negotiation, and any purchase orders or cost codes roll over unchanged.
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.
Within two hours for most enquiries. Send the site postcode, crew size and vehicle details and we rank whole houses and flats by genuine morning drive time. Parking and bathroom details come up front, and nothing is held behind a booking fee while you decide.
The interwar semis in Mile Oak and Glascote and the estates toward Two Gates are the usual winners — drives for vans, three bedrooms and neighbours used to early starts. Terraces near the centre suit smaller crews on foot, and station-area flats work for pairs on shorter jobs. We match the property to the headcount, not the other way round.
It is checked against your actual vehicles before check-in. Tamworth is good for parking by big-town standards — drives on the estates, frontages on the semis — and we still verify every property rather than assuming, because a crew that cannot park outside its own house on night one is a bad start.
Yes. Tell us the shift pattern at enquiry and we brief cleaners, arrange quiet access and favour layouts where one room can stay dark through the day. Handover notes go to the crew so nobody is woken by a well-meaning knock, and maintenance is scheduled around sleep where the job allows.
One monthly invoice in your company name paid by card, covering rent, bills, Wi-Fi, cleaning and linen. Purchase orders and cost codes are handled without fuss, the crew never pays on card, and there are no booking fees added at the end.
Site postcode, headcount, vehicle sizes and rough dates. We shortlist within two hours, answer the practical questions honestly, pencil dates while you confirm, and send a firm quote once you pick. Extensions later are a message, not a new contract.
