Banchory, Scotland • Scotland
Tucked into Royal Deeside where the A93 follows the River Dee west out of Aberdeen, Banchory is a prosperous Aberdeenshire town in the AB31 postcode area, about 17 miles from the city. It's a natural base for crews working across Deeside — close enough to Aberdeen to commute, far enough out to breathe. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses and flats with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice.
Banchory's stock leans towards granite-built villas, roomy semis and modern detached houses on the estates at the town's edge, with some flats nearer the centre. Crews do best in the semis and detached homes: driveways that swallow a van, a spare bedroom that becomes a drying room, and gardens that cope with boots. We walk every shortlist property with a working crew in mind — hot water for back-to-back showers, a kitchen big enough to batch-cook, and broadband that handles evening paperwork without complaint.
Banchory's position on Deeside puts crews within commuting reach of Aberdeen's energy, healthcare and construction sectors, while the A93 corridor itself generates steady work — housing development in the growing Deeside villages, infrastructure upkeep, forestry and land management up the glens. Crews working across Aberdeenshire regularly base in Banchory for the balance it offers: a proper town for supplies and downtime, and a straightforward run into the city or out to rural sites.
The A93 is Banchory's spine: follow it east and you're in Aberdeen in roughly half an hour depending on traffic, with the A944 at Kingswells giving another route in. West, the A93 climbs through Torphins and Aboyne towards Braemar, and the Banchory bypass keeps through-traffic out of town. There is no station in Banchory — the nearest railheads are Aberdeen and Stonehaven — so most crews run vans. We shortlist housing by real drive time to your site, whether that's city outskirts or up the Dee valley.
Your crew gets the whole property to itself. Rent, council tax, gas and electric, water, broadband and TV licence are held in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is checked against your real vehicles. Homes sleeping five or more have two bathrooms, a weekly clean and fresh linen are included, and maintenance calls come to us — your foreman has better things to do.
Billing is one monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees, and no minimum crew size or length of stay. Two people for a fortnight are as welcome as twenty for six months. Send us the site postcode, headcount and dates and we shortlist inside two hours; if the job runs long, extensions are usually simple, and if not we line up a like-for-like house nearby so nobody spends a night between properties.
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 hearing from you. Send the site postcode, crew size and dates, and we come back with serviced houses or flats around Banchory that fit — checked for parking, bathrooms and broadband, not just photographed nicely. Once you pick, check-in can usually happen within days rather than weeks.
Yes — Torphins, Aboyne, Alford, Drumoak and the villages along the Dee are all in our patch, and Aberdeen itself when the job needs it. We recommend by drive time to the site, so a crew on a west Deeside job is not commuting from the wrong end of town.
We only shortlist properties whose parking matches the vehicles you list. Most of Banchory's estate houses have driveways that take a van, and we favour those over centre flats when a van and trailer are involved — with the parking setup stated plainly before you book, so there are no surprises at 6am.
We do, on paper. Gas, electric, water, council tax, broadband and TV licence all sit in KrewBase's name and inside your one monthly invoice. Nobody on site is splitting utility bills or topping up a meter, and if a provider problem appears, we chase it — the crew just gets on with the job.
That's the standard arrangement. One invoice a month covering everything, paid by card, addressed to your company. It drops cleanly into job costing, and crew changes mid-contract change nothing — the house, the bills and the invoice all carry on exactly as they were.
Usually, yes. Tell us as soon as you know the dates are moving and we will extend the let subject to availability. If the house genuinely cannot run longer, we find the next best option and keep the crew housed without a gap.

If Banchory is short on the right house for your crew, Aberdeen is the obvious back-up, roughly 17 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Aberdeen page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
