West Bromwich, West Midlands • England
West Bromwich is one of the Black Country's big working towns, in Sandwell in the West Midlands, England, in the B postcode area, roughly five miles from Birmingham city centre with the M5 and M6 on its doorstep. Crews working here are rarely short of options — the job is finding housing that actually works for tradespeople. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses and flats: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against your vehicles, one monthly invoice, no booking fees.
The town is a tried-and-tested mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the centre, 1930s semis out around Stone Cross and towards Great Barr, and post-war estates with drives and garages in between. For crews, the sweet spot is usually the semis and the ex-council three-beds: parking off the road, a proper kitchen, space to dry kit, and enough bedrooms that nobody's doubling up unless they want to.
Every property is viewed before it's shortlisted. We check parking against the actual vans, count the bathrooms — five or more crew means two — run the heating, hot water and broadband properly, and weed out anything tired, damp or on a street that'll cause friction with early starts. What reaches you is a short list of houses that genuinely work for tradespeople, not a dump of everything on the market.
Sandwell sits inside one of the busiest logistics boxes in the country — between the M5, M6, A41 and A4031 — so distribution, warehousing and transport crews are constant here. Add the steady programme of construction and regeneration across West Bromwich and the neighbouring towns, the hospital and healthcare sites, and the manufacturing and maintenance work that still runs through the Black Country, and you've got a town that never really stops hiring contractors.
The M5 at J1 and M6 at J8 bracket the town, the A41 runs towards Birmingham and the A4031 links north towards Great Barr. The Midland Metro runs into Birmingham from the town centre, and The Hawthorns station gives rail towards Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Worcester. Walsall, Dudley, Oldbury and Birmingham are all within easy reach, and for crews covering several sites we shortlist by drive time from wherever the work is that week.
Every let is the whole house or flat — your crew, your door, no strangers down the hallway. Bills go in our name: rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is confirmed against your vehicles, five or more crew means two bathrooms, and the weekly clean with fresh linen is included without exception.
Repairs come to us — one number, sorted. Your company gets a single monthly invoice paid by card. There are no booking fees, no commission and no minimum crew size or stay; short contracts and small crews get the same whole-house service as the big ones, priced by the property and the dates. If the job runs long, extensions are handled with a phone call rather than a fresh search.
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 working hours of receiving the site location, headcount and dates. Each shortlist entry shows photos, the parking situation and measured drive time to site, so decisions the same day are routine — and we can have keys ready for a Monday-morning start even when the booking lands late in the week.
It's one of our standard checks, and it's taken seriously in a town where terraced streets can be tight. We match the property to your actual vehicles and any trailer, and we only shortlist houses where the parking genuinely fits — that detail is on the shortlist itself.
One monthly invoice covering rent and every bill, paid by card to fit standard payment runs. No booking fees or commission, and we can carry your PO number or cost code. Your accounts team deals with one supplier instead of a stack of utility bills.
No. Small crews and short contracts get the same whole-house, bills-in service as a big gang on a long job — the pricing follows the property and the dates, not the size of the crew. If the job only needs a couple of people for a few weeks, that's a proper booking in our book.
Yes. Key handover is arranged around the shift pattern rather than office hours, and the weekly clean is scheduled with the crew so nobody's sleep is disturbed. Tell us the working pattern when you book and we'll plan around it.
The site address, crew size, the vehicles you're bringing and the expected start and end dates. With those we shortlist within two working hours and quote a fixed monthly figure for the whole property with bills included — nothing extra to hunt down later.
