Witney, South East • England
Witney is a market town on the A40 about twelve miles west of Oxford, in the OX postcode area — the historic blanket town, now a busy base for crews right across West Oxfordshire. KrewBase takes whole serviced houses and flats here: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking matched to your vehicles and one monthly invoice to your company.
Witney grew up as a wool town, so the centre is Cotswold stone terraces and older cottages, while the west side — toward Cogges and beyond — has the newer estates crews usually land in: three- and four-bed semis with drives, garages and room for vans. We shortlist for off-street parking, a decent kitchen-diner and two bathrooms once the crew hits five.
West Oxfordshire keeps crews busy: housing development around Witney, Carterton and the surrounding villages, school and healthcare work in the market towns, utility upgrades across the rural district and light industrial jobs on the town's edge. Crews covering Oxford from the west often base here because the A40 makes the commute honest.
The A40 is the town's lifeline — east to Oxford in about half an hour, west toward Cheltenham. The A4095 heads south to Carterton, the A415 threads toward Abingdon, and the M40 and A34 are reached through Oxford. Witney has no station, so crews here are road-based — which is why we shortlist on measured drive time from the site postcode, not guesswork.
The whole house or flat is yours — no shared corridors with strangers. Bills go in our name, Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, and parking is checked against the vehicles actually arriving. Five or more in the crew means we push for two bathrooms, and weekly cleaning plus fresh linen keep things straight between shifts.
Repairs and maintenance come to us, not your site manager. Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew size or stay.
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.
Send the site postcode, crew size and start date and we'll have a shortlist of whole houses or flats within two working hours. Every property has been viewed and checked for parking, broadband and bathrooms before it reaches you, so the list is short for a reason.
The newer estates toward Cogges and the west side of town generally win for crews: drives, garages, two bathrooms more often than not. The older stone terraces in the centre look the part but often mean tight parking and steep stairs, so we only shortlist them when the job is genuinely in town.
Yes — Carterton, Bampton, Ducklington, Eynsham and the villages along the A40 and A4095 are all in scope. For contracts further afield we work from the site postcode and shortlist by real drive time rather than drawing a fixed radius on a map.
Yes — gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband all go in our name, and the Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in. Your company pays one monthly invoice covering the lot, so nobody on site is chasing utility bills or topping up a meter.
That's the default. One monthly invoice, paid by card goes straight to your company, with a PO reference if your finance team needs one. The crew never fronts deposits or bills, and there's nothing for a site manager to reconcile at month end.
Extensions are usually straightforward if we know before the property's notice date — tell us as soon as the job looks like overrunning and we'll either hold the current house or shortlist alternatives. The monthly invoice and payment by card just carry on as normal.
