Wells, South West • England
Wells calls itself England's smallest city, a cathedral town tucked under the Mendip Hills in Somerset, in the BA postcode area. The A39 and A371 meet here, Glastonbury is six miles away and Shepton Mallet about five. Crews working across the Mendips, the Levels and the M5 corridor are well placed in Wells. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking for your vehicles, and one monthly invoice sent to your office.
Central Wells is medieval streets and period houses around the cathedral — lovely, but narrow lanes and no parking. Crew housing sits on the town's edges and in the newer estates towards the bypass: semis and terraces with drives, sensible layouts, room for vans. We filter every property for off-road parking, broadband that holds a full crew and two bathrooms when there are five or more, so the shortlist is usable, not aspirational.
The Mendips bring steady work — stone and quarrying heritage, rural utilities and land management, plus tourism-related building and maintenance around the gorge and caves. Along the A39 and towards the M5 there is housing development, road upkeep, logistics and NHS contracts in the local trusts. Crews also use Wells as a quiet base for jobs across Somerset. Give us the site postcode and we'll work outwards from there.
The A39 runs north-east towards Bath and junction 23 of the M5, while the A371 heads towards Shepton Mallet and Castle Cary. Glastonbury and Street are about six miles west, Shepton Mallet five, and Bristol is roughly twenty miles. Wells station closed long ago, so this is a driving town — which is exactly why we shortlist by tested drive time from your site rather than distance on a map.
Your crew gets the whole property: kitchen, sitting room, washing machine, nobody else in the building. Rent, council tax, energy, water and broadband are in our name from day one. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is measured against the vehicles on the booking, and five-plus crews get two bathrooms. Weekly clean, fresh linen, maintenance to us. One monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees.
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.
Inside two hours in most cases. Send us the site postcode, headcount and start date, and we'll come back with three to five whole properties in and around Wells — parking, Wi-Fi speed and bathroom count already verified and written on each property sheet.
Wells itself plus the villages along the A39 towards Bath, the A371 towards Shepton Mallet, towards Glastonbury and Street, and up onto the Mendips if that's where the site sits. If your job is closer to Shepton or Street, we'll shortlist there instead — drive time decides.
Yes — it's one of our three fixed checks, alongside Wi-Fi and bathrooms. We match each property's parking against the vehicles you list at booking. Out here that usually means a drive with room for a van, which is rather the point of a crew house.
Yes. One monthly invoice covers rent, bills, broadband, cleaning and linen, payable paid by card. There are no booking fees and no deposits for the crew. Most office teams just attach the invoice to the job and pay it with the rest.
Tell us as soon as you know. Because we hold the tenancy rather than nightly bookings, extending is usually just paperwork — the same house is kept for you more often than not. A week or two of notice is plenty in most cases.
Yes. There's no minimum crew size and no minimum stay — two people on a short job get the same whole property and the same service as a large crew on a long contract. The price follows the house, not the headcount.

If Wells is short on the right house for your crew, Bristol is the obvious back-up, roughly 17 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Bristol page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
