A Unit base is an adequate space, such as a car park, required by production companies to film on location. It is effectively the central point from which a unit will operate and is where all essential facilities vehicles are parked, hence the phrase 'Unit Base'.

Our exclusive representation of unit bases is also our unique selling point, as until now nobody has offered this service to the industry - a comprehensive online database of all unit bases available throughout the U.K.


A typical unit base is a minimum of 100 sq Metres and can be situated in either an urban or rural setting depending on the location, which dictates where the unit base is placed.

Ideally, the surface of a unit base is tarmac or gravel and should have no access restrictions. Likewise, the immediate road to the base should have adequate turning space and no other major obstacles to obstruct large vehicles entering the base.

However, we value spaces of any size; nothing is too small to be represented as these can be used for private parking of crew cars.


As the film and television industry continues to grow from strength to strength the demand for unitbases increases - as long as the industry shoots on location, the need for unit bases will always exists.

The value of a unit base is dependent upon its locality and the size of the production. Unitbase.co.uk will arrange a meeting to discuss and advise on your price plan and endeavour thereafter to negotiate the best possible rates on your behalf.
