Aberdeen, Scotland • Scotland
Aberdeen runs on shift work. The granite city on Scotland's north-east coast — postcode area AB — has drawn oil, gas and offshore crews for decades, and the housing development, healthcare and logistics jobs around it keep beds full too. KrewBase houses working crews across the city in whole serviced houses and flats: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested, parking for vans, and one monthly invoice to your company.
Aberdeen's stock is famously granite — sturdy two and three-bedroom terraces around Rosemount and Kittybrewster, tenement flats nearer the centre, and post-war semis and newer estates out towards Bridge of Don, Dyce and Cove. Crews working around the harbour, the city centre or the industrial estates tend towards the terraces and flats; northern and southern sites suit the semis with driveways. Every property is checked for van parking, a proper kitchen and enough bathrooms for the crew.
Aberdeen has run on energy work for half a century, and the harbour, fabrication and offshore support jobs around the city still rotate crews through constantly. Around them sit the everyday trades: construction and housing development, NHS and healthcare shifts, logistics, food and drink manufacturing, and the electricity grid. Whether it's a four-week shutdown or a year-long contract, crews need a house that works around shift patterns, not a hotel breakfast at eight.
The A90 western peripheral and the AWPR ring road take traffic around the city without touching the centre, which matters when half the crew starts at six. Dyce and the airport sit to the north, the A96 runs west towards Inverness, and the south side links to Stonehaven and the coast road. Aberdeen station keeps the rail link down the east coast to Dundee and Edinburgh. We shortlist by drive time to your site, whichever side of the city it's on.
Your crew gets the whole property to themselves, with gas, electric, council tax and broadband in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is matched to your vehicles, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms as standard. A weekly clean with fresh linen keeps things civilised, and all maintenance comes to us. Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimums — two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months.
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, shift pattern and vehicles, and we'll return a shortlist of vetted properties within two working hours. Each shows drive time, parking, bathrooms and the weekly rate. Once you pick, we can usually have keys ready within a few days.
All of it — the city centre and harbour fringe, Rosemount, Kittybrewster, Dyce, Bridge of Don, Cove and the outskirts, plus Westhill and Portlethen when the job sits there. Tell us where the site is and we'll shortlist by drive time, not by drawing a circle on a map.
Yes. Offshore rotations and shutdowns mean half the city keeps odd hours, so we set the house up around the pattern: bedrooms that work for day sleepers, quiet neighbours where it matters, and a kitchen that's usable at three in the morning. Just tell us the shift schedule when you book.
Yes — gas, electric, council tax and broadband are included and stay in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in so nobody's working off a personal hotspot. Everything lands on one monthly invoice to your company paid by card, with no booking fees on top.
Usually, nothing dramatic: we extend the stay on the same terms rather than making you rebook at short notice. Give us as much notice as you can and we'll confirm within a day — it's normally a quick phone call rather than a pile of paperwork.
Three things get you an accurate quote fast: the site postcode, the crew size and the vehicles. From there we'll shortlist within two hours with weekly rates, parking, bathroom counts and drive times. If you know the shift pattern and start date, include those too — it sharpens the match.
