Tillington, South East • England
Tillington is a small village in West Sussex, in the South East of England and the GU postcode area, a short distance west of Petworth on the A272, with Midhurst a few miles to the west and Pulborough to the south. KrewBase finds whole serviced houses and flats for crews working across West Sussex and the South Downs, with bills in our name and one monthly invoice to the company. Pairs or full crews, they get a proper base near site rather than a hotel on the edge of somewhere.
The villages around Tillington, in the rolling country between Midhurst and Pulborough, offer a mix of farm cottages, converted barns, village semis and newer detached houses on the lanes. Cottages look lovely on a listing photo but squeeze a six-person crew, so we shortlist for real capacity: enough bedrooms, a workable kitchen, and parking measured against the actual vans. Semis and detached village houses usually win for crews because the drive takes a vehicle line-up and the garden doubles as drying space for gear.
Crews in this part of West Sussex are usually tied to jobs spread between the Downs villages and the bigger towns. Housing development and renovation across the district keeps trades on long bookings, while road, utility and energy maintenance along the A272 and A283 corridors brings smaller specialist teams. Healthcare and local infrastructure work at the nearby towns draws crews who need a quiet house to come back to at the end of a shift. We match the property to the site and the shift pattern.
Tillington has no station of its own, so the car or the crew van does the work: the A272 runs east to Petworth and west towards Midhurst, and the A283 links down to the Arun valley. Pulborough's station, around eight miles away, connects to the coast and towards London for crews arriving by train. For jobs scattered across the lanes we shortlist houses by real drive time from site rather than straight-line distance, because the South Downs roads are scenic, not fast.
Every property is let whole, the crew keeps it to itself, with council tax, gas, electric, water and Wi-Fi in KrewBase's name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is checked against the actual vehicles turning up, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms. A weekly clean and fresh linen are included, and any maintenance is ours to sort. The company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay.
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 within two hours of your call. Give us the site, crew size, vehicles and booking length, and we'll come back with three or four whole houses in and around Tillington that already pass our checks on parking, Wi-Fi and bathrooms. In a village patch this size that speed matters, because good crew-suitable houses are few and move fast.
Yes. We treat Tillington together with Petworth, Midhurst and the villages along the A272 and A283 as one patch. If the right whole house for your crew sits in one of the neighbouring towns rather than Tillington itself, that's what we'll send. The shortlist follows the site and the vehicles, not the parish boundary.
That's exactly what we arrange. The crew takes the whole house: their own kitchen, their own living room, no breakfast windows and no shared corridors. For crews staying weeks or months on West Sussex jobs, a proper house beats hotel rotation on cost, sleep and sanity. Laundry gets done, gear gets dried, and nobody lives out of a suitcase.
Village streets can be narrow, so parking is a measured check, not an assumption. Before a property near Tillington reaches your shortlist we verify the drive or kerb space against the actual vehicles: van lengths, count, trailers if any. If it doesn't genuinely fit, the house doesn't make the list. Crews park where they sleep, full stop.
Yes. Rent, council tax, gas, electric, water, Wi-Fi, weekly cleaning and linen all roll into one invoice each month, paid by card as standard. Nobody in the crew fronts money for bills, and nobody in the office reconciles a shoebox of receipts. The paperwork stays with us so the crew can get on with the job.
No. A whole crew house means the crew sets its own hours: coming in at six in the morning, sleeping through the day, cooking at odd times. That's normal for us. We ask about shift patterns when we shortlist so we can match the property properly, and neighbours in village locations are briefed through us where needed.
