Wickham, South East • England
Wickham is a brick-and-flint market village in Hampshire, England, lying in the PO postcode area a few miles north of Fareham, between the A32 and the M27. KrewBase houses crews working across the South East in whole serviced properties here — rent with bills, tested Wi-Fi and checked parking on one monthly invoice, chosen for honest drive time to your site rather than a pretty address.
Wickham's centre is old cottages and period townhouses around a big market square — lovely to look at, useless for a transit van. The practical stock is on the outskirts and towards Fareham: post-war semis, modern detached houses, bungalows and small estates with drives, garages and gardens. We focus on that fringe stock because the pretty centre can't take vans, and your crew's vehicles need to be outside the door, not up a narrow lane.
That's where we focus. A five or six-strong crew needs a second bathroom, a kitchen that fits more than one person, and parking that doesn't involve a negotiation with the neighbours — most fringe houses here also have a downstairs loo and a family-sized kitchen, which matters when six lads are cooking after a shift. We check all of it before a house reaches your shortlist, along with heating that works and a quiet road for nights crews.
Work across this part of Hampshire is the usual South East spread: construction and housing development around Fareham and Portsmouth, marine and industrial work towards the coast, utilities and grid jobs inland, plus logistics along the M27 and healthcare shifts in the local towns. Wickham suits crews moving between sites, because Portsmouth, Fareham, Southampton and the M3 corridor are all within an easy half hour.
Fareham is three miles south and the M27 — junctions 10 and 11 — is about the same, putting Portsmouth ten minutes west and Southampton twenty east. The A32 runs north towards Alton and the A272, and the A27 links along the coast. Fareham station, a short drive away, has trains towards Portsmouth, Southampton and London for weekly travellers. Sites further out are covered by shortlisting on measured drive time from the gate.
Your crew takes the whole house. We keep gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband in our name, speed-test the Wi-Fi before check-in, and match the parking to your real vehicles. Five or more in the crew means two bathrooms as standard, plus a weekly clean, fresh linen and a maintenance line that rings us, not you — and it all lands on one monthly invoice, so nobody on site is collecting receipts for the accountant.
Billing is one monthly invoice to your company paid by card, fixed pricing agreed at booking — no booking fees, no per-person charges, and no minimum crew size or stay. Whether it's two people for a fortnight or a full crew for six months, the paperwork looks exactly the same. And if your job list shifts between Portsmouth, Southampton and the M27, one call re-checks commutes and we move the base once rather than churning bookings.
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 getting your site postcode, headcount and dates. Every option comes with honest drive times to your gate, whether the job's in Wickham itself, Fareham, Portsmouth or along the M27. If the best fit means basing the crew in Fareham instead, we'll say so.
Yes — Wickham, Fareham, the M27 corridor and the villages towards Portsmouth and Southampton are all in our patch. Crews working across several sites often base centrally here rather than moving every few weeks, and we can re-check commutes if the job list changes.
Send the vehicle list and we only shortlist houses where it all fits off the road — and we physically confirm it before you book, not just assume from the listing. Edge-of-village houses with drives and garages are our go-to; tight square-centre cottages aren't practical for trade vehicles.
Genuinely. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are in our name and covered by the rent. Wi-Fi is speed-tested at the property before your crew arrives, and if it drops mid-stay we deal with the supplier while your lads deal with the job. The quoted price is the invoiced price.
We do. Your crew calls one number for boilers, leaks, locks or broadband, and we arrange the fix — same-day where habitability's affected. The weekly clean also means problems get spotted early rather than turning into end-of-job disputes, because dripping taps get fixed while they're still dripping.
Usually, yes — tell us as soon as you know and we'll extend the let, or move the crew to a comparable house nearby if that one's rebooked. Terms stay the same and the single monthly invoice simply continues, so there's no paperwork explosion when the programme slips.
