Wollaston, East Midlands • England
Tucked between Wellingborough and Northampton, Wollaston is a Northamptonshire village in the East Midlands, in the NN postcode area — a couple of miles from Wellingborough and within easy reach of the A45, the A509 and the county's main road network. Crews working across the Nene valley use it as a quiet base, and KrewBase houses them in whole serviced properties in and around the village: bills, Wi-Fi and parking included, managed end to end and billed to your company on one monthly invoice.
Wollaston is an old shoe-making village — stone cottages and period houses around the core, a solid inter-war estate, and newer development on the fringes. The inter-war estate in particular was built for working families, which is why its semis tend to have the driveways, gardens and sensible layouts that crews need. The stock that suits crews tends to be the semis and detached houses with driveways, both in Wollaston and in neighbouring Bozeat and Irchester, where access to the A509 is quicker.
Every property is filtered the same way: parking measured against your actual vehicles, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, two bathrooms for crews of five or more, and a kitchen that can handle a working week. If the brief points towards Wellingborough's estates, we'll say so — and flag where a property on the Wellingborough side of the boundary is the better answer for the site list — rather than force the wrong village. For crews covering sites on both sides of the county, this middle position is often the honest answer.
The Nene valley between Northampton and Wellingborough is busy with the trades: construction tied to housing growth across Northamptonshire, warehousing and distribution around the A45 and A509 junctions, and manufacturing work in the towns either side. Infrastructure and utilities jobs move through the area regularly, and crews covering several sites often find a base here keeps every commute honest. None of it is glamorous, but it's steady — and steady work is what crew housing is for.
We don't specialise by sector — building, driving, installing, maintaining, it's all the same to us. Find the crew a decent house near site, keep the bills out of their names, and put it on one monthly invoice your accounts team can process without a phone call. That's the whole job. When a contract adds sites further west towards Northampton, the same base usually still works — which saves a move nobody wanted.
Wollaston sits close to the A509 between Wellingborough and Northampton, and the A45 is a short drive north for the east–west run. Wellingborough is a couple of minutes away, Northampton around twenty, and the A14 and M1 are both reachable without drama; Northampton's western suburbs and the M1's northern junctions open up when contracts point west. For crews covering sites across the county, that junction access matters more than any single road.
Wellingborough station on the Midland Main Line is the nearest rail option, with services south to London and north to the Midlands cities. If your site moves, tell us the new postcode — we re-shortlist around real drive time, and we'd rather move the crew's base than have them sitting in traffic. The fast trains south from Wellingborough also make staff rotations from London straightforward when a contract needs them.
Your crew gets a whole house or flat — their own kitchen, living room and parking. All bills are in our name, broadband is tested before anyone arrives, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place straight. Maintenance calls come to us, not to a landlord your crew has to chase. The property is checked before handover — heating, hot water, alarms — so day one starts with sleep, not phone calls.
One monthly invoice covers it all, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay. Send the site postcode, headcount and dates, and we'll return a shortlist within two hours — then handle everything from keys to maintenance until the job's done. If dates shift mid-contract, one email extends the stay where the host can manage it, and when the job ends, checkout is a key drop — no inspections, no deposit chasing.
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 hours of your enquiry. Send the site postcode, crew size and dates, and we'll return whole properties in Wollaston and the immediately neighbouring villages, each pre-checked for parking against your vehicles, working Wi-Fi and enough bathrooms for the headcount. Vague dates are fine — tell us what you know.
Wollaston itself, Bozeat, Irchester and the Wellingborough southern edge, widening towards Earls Barton and the A45 corridor if your sites point that way. We shortlist by drive time from the site list rather than drawing circles on a map — the house that saves ten minutes each morning wins.
Yes, and we check it properly. We ask what the crew drives and only shortlist houses with driveways or off-street space that genuinely fits — the inter-war semis and newer fringes are the easiest. Where a property relies on on-street parking, we tell you honestly what that means before you book it, not after.
In every property we send. Gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband are all in our name and included in the rate, with Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in. Any bill or utility problem that lands at the property during the stay is ours to sort — your crew's time is for the job, not for hold music.
That's how we're set up. One monthly invoice covers rent, bills, cleaning and linen, on card payment payable by BACS. No booking fees, no deposits for you to hold, and your accounts team gets a single supplier line to process — the way any other trade invoice would arrive.
No minimum stay and no minimum crew size. A two-person team for a couple of weeks gets the same service as a big crew for six months — the property and the invoice flex around the job, not the other way round. Just give us the real numbers when you enquire.
