Wigston, East Midlands • England
Wigston lies in Leicester's southern suburbs in the East Midlands, in the LE postcode area — about three miles from the city centre in the borough of Oadby and Wigston, with the A5199 running through towards Welford and the county beyond. KrewBase houses crews working in Leicester and across south Leicestershire in whole serviced houses and flats here: bills, Wi-Fi and parking included, maintained by us, and billed to your company on a single monthly invoice.
Wigston is a proper working town stitched into Leicester's south side. The older streets around the centre hold neat terraced housing; South Wigston and the inter-war streets are rows of semis with gardens and driveways; and the estates pushed out towards the A5199 and the bypass roads added newer family houses with garages and real parking. Off-street parking is easier here than closer in, which is one reason crews working across Leicester often prefer basing this side of the city centre.
Our filter doesn't change: off-street parking checked against your vehicles, Wi-Fi tested before anyone moves in, two bathrooms for five or more, and a kitchen that can feed a crew after a long day. Shops and takeaways along Leicester Road mean day-to-day living is easy without a car. If the brief suits Oadby or South Wigston better, those go on the shortlist too.
Leicester keeps a wide spread of trades moving: housing development and refurbishment across the city's estates, the big logistics sites along the M1 and the A46 corridor, manufacturing and food production that the East Midlands is known for, plus NHS and healthcare contracts at the city's hospitals. Utilities and grid maintenance crews pass through regularly, and the universities and council estates add their share of fit-out work.
Wigston works as a base because it's close to the M1, the A6 and the outer ring roads without city-centre prices — and crews can reach most sites across Leicester inside twenty minutes. For contracts spread further afield, the same junctions put Loughborough, Market Harborough and the rest of the county within reach. For longer contracts, being on the right side of the city for the site list can save the crew an hour a day in aggregate.
The A5199 runs north into Leicester and south towards Welford and Market Harborough; the A6 is a short hop west, and the M1 junctions at 21 and 21a are minutes away for crews covering sites up and down the corridor. Oadby, Blaby and the city's southern suburbs are all within a few miles. Rush hour along London Road is the one thing to plan around — we shortlist with that in mind.
Leicester station — a short run up London Road — has direct trains to London St Pancras, Birmingham and Nottingham. If the site moves, we re-shortlist by real drive time, and we'll tell you honestly if a different base would cut the commute rather than protect our booking. It's your crew's morning, not our margin, that decides. The same junctions that serve the site list serve the crew's weekends, which quietly helps retention on longer contracts.
Your crew takes the whole house or flat — their kitchen, their living room, their parking. All bills are in our name: gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband, speed-tested before check-in. Weekly cleaning and fresh linen are included, and maintenance calls come straight to us: one contact, no landlord runaround. There's no meter-reading theatre on day one and no deposit wrangle at the end.
Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew or stay length, and a shortlist back within two hours of your enquiry — whole properties only, each checked for parking, Wi-Fi and bathrooms before you see it. Once approved, everything else is ours to handle. Checkout is a key drop, and the deposit relationship is ours — not yours.
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.
Two hours from a straightforward enquiry. Send the site postcode, crew size, dates and vehicle count, and we'll return whole properties in Wigston, South Wigston or the neighbouring suburbs — each already checked for parking that fits your vehicles, working Wi-Fi and enough bathrooms for the headcount.
Wigston itself, South Wigston, Oadby and Blaby, plus the Leicester southern suburbs when the site list points inwards. We measure everything by drive time from your sites rather than drawing lines on a map — if a house two streets further out cuts the morning commute, that's the house we send.
Yes — the semis and newer estates mostly have driveways or garages, and we verify capacity against what your crew actually drives before anything reaches your shortlist. On the older terraced streets we check the on-street reality honestly and say so, so nobody's fighting for a space before a 6am start.
Every property we send includes gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband in our name, folded into your rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and if a bill or utility problem ever lands at the property, it's ours to deal with — your crew's only job is the job.
That's the standard arrangement. One monthly invoice covers rent, bills, the weekly clean and linen, on card payment payable by BACS. No booking fees, no deposits for you to hold, and your accounts team reconciles one supplier line instead of a stack of hotel folios.
Four things: the site postcode or list of sites, how many people, the dates or an honest estimate, and roughly what vehicles the crew runs. With that we can shortlist suitable whole properties within two hours and price them properly — vague dates are fine, we'd rather know early than guess late.
