Alness, Scotland • Scotland
Alness is a small Highland town in Ross and Cromarty, Scotland — postcode area IV, on the A9 about eighteen miles north of Inverness and just along the Cromarty Firth from Invergordon. It's long been a base for energy and port work around the firth. KrewBase houses crews working across the area in whole serviced houses and flats: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking that fits work vehicles and one monthly invoice to your company.
Alness is a compact Highland town of stone terraces, council-era semis and some newer detached houses on the edge of town. Crews here are usually small — two to six people — and the semis do the job best: a driveway for the van, a spare bedroom for kit, and heating that can take a Highland winter. We check every property for parking, bathroom count and a kitchen that can feed a working crew, and we don't send crews to houses that fail any of the three.
The Cromarty Firth has been an energy and port hub for decades, and crews still rotate through for the offshore wind, marine and decommissioning work around the firth, plus the port, fabrication and support trades that follow it. Add construction across Ross-shire, forestry and land work inland, and healthcare and public sector shifts in Inverness commuting range. These jobs come and go with the seasons and the contracts, so flexible housing matters more here than most places.
The A9 — Scotland's spine — passes right by Alness, running south to Inverness in about half an hour and north through the Highlands. The A836 and B9176 head west towards Dingwall and Strathpeffer, and the A862 loops the firth towards Invergordon and Cromarty. There's no station in Alness, so crews drive, which makes parking the first filter on every shortlist. Give us the site postcodes and we'll verify drive times before you sign anything.
Your crew gets the whole house with gas, electric, council tax and broadband in our name, not theirs. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is matched to your vehicles, and a crew of five gets two bathrooms as standard. A weekly clean and fresh linen are included, and maintenance is entirely ours — a failed boiler in January is our phone call, not the crew's. Your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimums.
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 postcodes, crew size and vehicles and we'll shortlist within two working hours. Highland stock is thinner than the central belt's, so we vet hard — parking, heating, bathrooms, kitchen — and send what genuinely works rather than padding the list with maybes.
We cover the Cromarty Firth towns — Invergordon, Evanton, Dingwall and up towards Tain and Dornoch — and south to Inverness commuting range. Shortlists are built on real drive times along the A9 and around the firth, so the crew's base stays put while jobs move.
The semis and edge-of-town houses generally have driveways, and the terraces have dependable on-street space. We verify parking against your vehicles before check-in — up here a crew's vehicles are their livelihood, so the house has to keep them close and safe.
Yes. Gas, electric, council tax and broadband are in our name and included, with Wi-Fi speed-tested before the crew arrives. One monthly invoice covers everything, paid by card. Nobody on site is splitting utilities or arguing over the heating bill.
We do — entirely. The crew report any problem to us and we arrange and pay for the repair, from a leaking tap to a failed boiler. The weekly clean also means issues get spotted early. The crew's only job in the house is to rest between shifts.
No. Two people for a few weeks is as welcome as eight for six months — we don't gatekeep on crew size. If the job grows later, most Alness houses take extra heads comfortably, and we can usually adjust the setup without anyone moving.

Alness sits about 15 miles from Inverness. Plenty of crews working here base themselves in the city and drive out, especially on longer jobs or when the local supply is thin. Our contractor accommodation Inverness page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
