Teignmouth, South West • England
Teignmouth sits where the River Teign meets the sea on the south Devon coast, in the South West of England and the TQ postcode area. The A381 runs a few miles inland to Newton Abbot, and the rail line along the coast links Exeter and Torbay. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses and flats here for crews working around the Teign estuary and the coast \u2014 bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against your vehicles, one monthly invoice.
Teignmouth is a working seaside town as much as a resort: Victorian terraces climbing back from the seafront, interwar semis along the roads inland, and pockets of newer housing towards the estuary side. The seafront streets can be short on van space and long on summer traffic, so for crews we lean towards the inland edges \u2014 the Shaldon road, the Newton Abbot side, the quieter estates \u2014 where parking is easier and the mornings are quicker.
Every property we shortlist is checked against your actual vehicles, and we look hard at the kitchen, the heating and the drying space, because coastal weather finds out a cold house fast. If the town itself is tight for a given week, a five-minute hop towards Newton Abbot or Bishopsteignton usually opens up more room for the same money, and the crew still keeps the sea air.
Crews book into Teignmouth for work along the estuary and the coast: construction and refurbishment on the older housing stock, marine and port-adjacent trades, utility work along the coastal corridor, and the broader run of jobs between Exeter and Torbay. The town suits crews who want a seafront out the window but need to be at a site in Newton Abbot, Dawlish or along the A380 in a reasonable time every morning.
Summer changes the town, and it's worth planning around. When the holiday trade fills the guest houses and the seafront lets, accommodation for workers tightens and prices climb with the crowds. A contract crossing the season is worth booking early \u2014 we can hold a house while your site confirms dates, and holding costs nothing while you wait, so the crew isn't left scrambling for beds the week the job starts.
The A381 runs inland from the town to Newton Abbot, about four miles, where it meets the A380 heading north towards the M5. Exeter is roughly fifteen miles up the coast road and rail line, and Torbay lies the other way past Dawlish. Teignmouth has its own station on the Exeter to Paignton line, which is handy for crews arriving without vehicles \u2014 the walk from the platform to most of the town is short.
For sites further afield we shortlist by drive time from the site postcode, measured at working hours rather than on a quiet Sunday map. The coast road has its moods \u2014 a fair-weather twenty minutes can be a wet-weather thirty once the traffic and the holiday coaches are counted in \u2014 and we'd rather hand you a realistic commute than a theoretical one that only exists at midnight.
The whole property is yours for the duration \u2014 no shared spaces, no live-in landlord, no negotiating the washing machine with strangers. Bills are in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is verified against the vehicles you list. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms, the house gets a weekly clean with fresh linen, and any maintenance is ours to chase, not yours, day or night and whatever the sea decides to do to the roof that week.
You pay through one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no deposit games, and extending a contract is a message rather than a renegotiation. Your accounts team sees one tidy line a month, the price quoted is the price paid, and nobody fronts cash for bills. The crew just comes home to a warm, working house at the end of every shift.
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.
Typically around two hours from your enquiry once we have dates, crew size and the site postcode. Coastal towns can move quickly in season, so for spring and summer starts it's worth getting your enquiry in as early as the site confirms \u2014 the good houses with driveways go first.
Yes. We shortlist across the estuary area \u2014 Dawlish, Shaldon, Bishopsteignton and towards Newton Abbot \u2014 depending on where the site is. The right house for a Newton Abbot job may well sit in Teignmouth, and the other way round, so tell us the postcode and we'll work from there.
Any property we suggest will. Seafront terraces can be tight, so we check each house against your actual vehicles and lean towards spots with driveways or guaranteed off-street space. If a house can't park your crew's vehicles, it doesn't make the list \u2014 however charming the sea view is.
Yes, broadband is part of the package and we speed-test it before check-in. Bills \u2014 gas, electric, water, council tax \u2014 sit in our name too, so the crew never deals with a provider and your accounts team gets one tidy invoice at the end of each month.
Usually, yes. If the job runs long, tell us and we'll extend the house or move the crew to a nearby property if that one is rebooked. Early notice makes it seamless \u2014 a week's warning is plenty in most cases, and even shorter can work out of season.
The site postcode, crew size, vehicle list, dates (even rough ones), the shift pattern and anything specific \u2014 a pet, disabled access, two bathrooms, parking for a trailer. With that we can shortlist whole houses with real numbers rather than vague ranges, usually inside a couple of hours.

Teignmouth sits about 12 miles from Exeter. Plenty of crews working here base themselves in the city and drive out, especially on longer jobs or when the local supply is thin. Our contractor accommodation Exeter page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
