Alva, Scotland • Scotland
Alva is a Hillfoots town tucked under the Ochil Hills in Clackmannanshire, Scotland — postcode area FK, about three miles from Alloa and eight miles from Stirling on the A91. Rows of stone terraces and semis make practical, affordable crew housing for work across the Forth Valley. KrewBase puts working crews into whole serviced houses here: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking for your vehicles and one monthly invoice to your company.
Alva climbs from the main street up into the Ochils, and its housing climbs with it: rows of stone terraces on the flat, semis and cottage houses higher up, and a few newer builds on the town's edge. Small crews fit here best — two to four people — and the lower terraces are the practical pick, close to the A91 with straightforward parking. We check every property for van space, bathroom count and a heating system rated for winter at the foot of the hills.
The Hillfoots and the Forth Valley hold steady, unglamorous work: manufacturing and food production around Alloa and Stirling, construction and housing development across Clackmannanshire, logistics on the M9 and M876, and healthcare shifts in Stirling and Larbert. The area also sees utilities work along the Ochils and the Forth, and agricultural contracting through the season. Crews here often jump between small sites, and one fixed house beats fresh hotel bookings every fortnight.
The A91 runs along the foot of the Ochils through Alva, east to Dollar and Kinross in twenty minutes and west to Stirling in about fifteen. The M9 is close by at Stirling for Falkirk, Grangemouth and the Kincardine Bridge, and the M876 and M80 reach Glasgow inside the hour. There's no station in Alva — Alloa and Stirling have the nearest — so crews drive, and we shortlist strictly by drive time to your site. Send the postcodes and we'll do the maths before you commit.
The crew gets the entire property — nobody sharing with strangers — with gas, electric, council tax and broadband in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is checked against the vehicles you list, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms minimum. A weekly clean and fresh linen are included, and all maintenance lands with us. 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 postcodes, crew size and vehicles and we'll have a shortlist back within two working hours. Alva's a small town, so the pool is smaller than Stirling's — but everything we offer is vetted for parking, bathrooms, heating and a kitchen that feeds a crew.
Yes — the whole Hillfoots: Menstrie, Tillicoultry, Dollar and Muckhart, plus Alloa and across to Stirling and the Forth Valley. We shortlist by drive time to your site, so a crew can stay in Alva while contracts move along the A91 or into Stirling.
The lower terraces have on-street space that suits a van or two, and the houses higher up or on the edge of town usually have driveways. We check every property against the vehicles you list before offering it — parking surprises are for other people.
Yes — gas, electric, council tax and broadband are included and stay in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in. Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card covering rent, bills, the weekly clean and linen. The crew never see a bill.
They can. One invoice a month goes to your company covering rent, all bills, cleaning and linen, payable paid by card. No deposits from individuals, no booking fees, no expense claims. Your accounts team will wonder why all accommodation isn't this simple.
Usually, yes. Extensions run on the same terms and are normally confirmed within a day — just give us what notice you have. If the job finishes early, we work to the notice period agreed at booking. Either way the crew aren't left packing bags mid-shift.

If Alva is short on the right house for your crew, Glasgow is the obvious back-up, roughly 26 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Glasgow page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
