Warkton, East Midlands • England
Just north-east of Kettering, Warkton is a small Northamptonshire village in the East Midlands, in the NN postcode area, sitting within a couple of miles of the A14 and A43. Crews rarely need beds in Warkton itself — they need them within an easy drive of sites around Kettering, Corby and the M1 corridor. That's what KrewBase does: whole serviced houses and flats near site, bills, Wi-Fi and parking included, everything managed by us and billed to your company on one monthly invoice.
Warkton itself is a handful of lanes, a church and some handsome period houses — charming, but thin on rental stock for a work crew. The practical housing sits a couple of miles away in Kettering: streets of Victorian terraces near the town centre, inter-war semis with gardens and driveways, and newer estates on the edges that were built with cars in mind. That mix means options at most crew sizes and budgets.
We shortlist the houses that actually work for crews — off-street parking sized against your vehicles, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, and two bathrooms where five or more people are staying. If the brief points to Burton Latimer or Barton Seagrave instead, we'll say so and show you those — a shorter drive beats a prettier street every time. And because stock turns over quickly around here, it pays to decide promptly — we'll hold an approved property for a short window while you confirm.
This corner of Northamptonshire keeps plenty of trades busy. The A14 and A43 carry logistics and distribution work around Kettering and Corby, there is light industrial and manufacturing employment across the area, and housing growth across north Northamptonshire brings construction teams in for months at a time. Rail work along the Midland Main Line corridor and utilities jobs add shorter, shifting contracts.
None of that needs naming names — whatever sector your crew works in, the requirement is identical: a decent whole house within a sensible drive, parking that fits the vehicles, and paperwork the office can process once a month. We focus on exactly that, and leave the site manager to the job. If the crew's sector changes next quarter, nothing about the arrangement needs to.
Warkton sits almost on the A14, so east–west is easy — Corby one way, the M1 the other. The A43 runs north towards Corby and south towards Northampton, and the A509 links west to the M1's northern junctions. Northampton is reachable to the south for crews whose sites spread wider. Kettering station, a short drive away, has regular Midland Main Line services including fast trains to London.
If your site moves mid-contract, tell us and we'll re-shortlist by real drive time rather than straight-line distance — a ten-minute shift in the morning is worth more than any feature on the listing. Commute reality is the thing we optimise for, and Kettering station gives crew members without vehicles a workable rail fallback at weekends. The same applies when a contract picks up extra sites — we rebalance the base rather than let the mileage creep.
Your crew takes a whole property — no sharing with strangers, no hotel corridors. Rent, gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband are all in our name and included, with a weekly clean and fresh linen as standard. Maintenance calls come to one number — ours — and we deal with the landlord, so there's no chasing, no meter readings and no surprises in the post.
Your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card, covering everything with no booking fees and no minimum stay. Send the site postcode, headcount and dates, and the shortlist is back within two hours — often faster. Once you approve a property, we handle the paperwork and your crew gets a check-in time and a key code. Extending a stay is one email, not a new negotiation.
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 of your enquiry, normally the same morning. Stock near Warkton is concentrated in Kettering, so that's where we focus first, widening to Burton Latimer, Barton Seagrave and the A14 corridor if your site points that way. You'll get whole properties with parking, Wi-Fi and bathrooms already checked.
Warkton itself where stock allows, then Kettering, Burton Latimer, Barton Seagrave and the villages along the A14 and A43. Everything is measured by drive time from your site, not by postcode boundary — if a house in Kettering cuts ten minutes off the morning run, that's the one we'll put forward.
Yes — invoicing your company is the whole point of how we work. One monthly invoice covers rent, bills, cleaning and linen, on card payment and payable by BACS. No booking fees, no deposits held by you, and no bag of receipts for your accounts team at the end of the job.
It's checked before anything is shortlisted. We ask how many vehicles your crew runs and their size, then only send properties with driveways or off-street space that genuinely fits them. A crew house that leaves a van parked half a mile away isn't a crew house — so we don't send those.
Yes, in every property we send. Gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband are all in our name and included in the rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and if a bill ever lands at the property, it's ours to sort — your crew won't be chasing utility companies after a shift.
Usually, yes. Tell us as soon as you know the dates are moving and we'll extend the same booking where the landlord can accommodate it — your crew stays put and nothing needs re-setting up. If the property genuinely can't extend, we'll overlap a new one so nobody is out of a bed.
