Uttoxeter, West Midlands • England
Uttoxeter is a proper working market town in East Staffordshire, England, in the ST postcode area, set on the A50 between Derby and Stoke-on-Trent with Burton upon Trent a short run up the A38. Crews come through here for the manufacturing corridor, the warehouses and the building work stretching in every direction. KrewBase houses them in whole serviced properties — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking for the vans, and one monthly invoice for the company.
The town centre is a mix of handsome red-brick and stone terraces, while the estates that grew up around the racecourse and out towards the old RAF side of town offer 1930s semis, post-war houses and newer family homes with drives. Out in the surrounding villages — the lanes towards Marchington and Rocester — you find brick cottages and small estates that suit smaller crews perfectly.
We filter for the things tradespeople actually need: off-road parking for at least two vans, a kitchen big enough to feed the crew, drying space for wet gear, and two bathrooms for five or more people. Anything damp, tired or next to a nightmare neighbour gets struck off before it reaches you. Every house is walked through in person, because a listing photo won't tell you about parking pressure, noisy streets or a boiler on its last legs.
The A50 and A38 around Uttoxeter carry a steady flow of manufacturing and distribution work, and that brings fitters, maintenance teams and warehouse crews through town every week. On top of that there's a rolling programme of construction and housing development across East Staffordshire, infrastructure and grid work in the surrounding countryside, and healthcare contracts heading towards the hospitals in Burton and Derby. Whatever the contract, the accommodation side should be the easy bit — that's our job.
The A50 west runs to Stoke-on-Trent and the M6, east to the M1 at J24A and Derby, and the A518 cuts across to Stafford. Uttoxeter station sits on the Crewe to Derby line for crews travelling in by rail. For crews on multi-site contracts we shortlist by drive time from wherever the job is that week — one week it might be a house near the A50, the next somewhere closer to Burton — so tell us the pattern and we'll plan around it.
You take the whole house or flat — no sharing with strangers, no live-in landlords. We put every bill in our name: rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband, all working before your crew arrives. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms, parking is checked against the actual vehicles, and a weekly clean with fresh linen is part of the deal from day one.
If the boiler goes or a tap drips, one call to us and it's sorted — we deal with the tradesperson and the timing around your crew's shifts. Your company receives a single monthly invoice paid by card, with no booking fees, no deposits buried in the small print and no minimum stay to hit before the let makes sense.
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.
Yes — send the site address, headcount and dates and we'll have a shortlist back within two working hours. Each option shows photos, parking, and the exact drive time to site, so you can confirm a house the same day and have it ready before the crew travels.
It's checked, not assumed. We confirm your vehicle count and sizes before proposing properties, then match you with a driveway or kerb space that genuinely fits. Trailers and pickups are factored in, and we note it on the shortlist so there are no surprises on day one.
All of them. Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are in our name and included in the one monthly invoice. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before anyone moves in, so your crew can get online for work and telly from the first evening.
One invoice, once a month, covering rent and every bill. We take payment by card to fit standard company payment runs, and there are no booking fees or agency commission. If you need a PO reference or cost code on the invoice, we add it.
It can, easily. Key handover is arranged around your crew's shift pattern rather than a fixed office-hours slot, and the weekly clean is scheduled with the crew so nobody's sleep gets disturbed. Just tell us the shift times when you book and we'll plan everything around them.
A whole house costs less per head than hotel rooms for anything beyond a couple of nights, and your crew gets a kitchen, a washing machine, proper parking and space to relax. For long or rolling contracts it's simply the more practical and better-value setup.
