Dingwall, Scotland • Scotland
One of the oldest towns in the north, Dingwall sits at the head of the Cromarty Firth in the Highland council area of Scotland, in the IV postcode area, where the A9 meets the road west to Ullapool. Around fifteen miles north of Inverness, it works as a self-contained base for crews on work across Ross-shire and the northern Highlands. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice, whatever the crew size.
Dingwall's housing is solid Highland market-town stock: stone and rendered terraces around the historic centre, post-war semis and council estates on the edges, and newer family homes on recent developments. For crews, the edge-of-town properties win - parking for vans and kit, gardens, and quick access to the A9 bypass rather than the older central streets. We vet every home for real parking, decent storage and two bathrooms for crews of five or more.
Work around Dingwall reflects the firth and the peninsula: energy and offshore-wind support activity in the Cromarty and Moray firths, port and logistics work, construction and housing development across Ross-shire, forestry, and healthcare and public-sector jobs in the town itself. Tourism keeps the summer busy with maintenance and seasonal projects. Whatever the contract, our houses are let whole, so changing crew sizes and trades are simple to accommodate.
The A9 passes just east of town, running north to Thurso and south to Inverness in around half an hour, while the A835 heads west toward Ullapool and the north-west coast. Dingwall has its own station with trains on the Far North and Kyle lines into Inverness, so crews without vehicles are not stranded. We shortlist by drive time from your actual site - west-coast jobs can flip whether a Dingwall or Inverness base works out quicker.
Your crew gets the whole property and your company gets one monthly invoice - council tax, energy, water and broadband stay in our name, Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in, heating checked against a Highland winter. Weekly cleans and fresh linen are standard, maintenance is our job, and billing runs paid by card. There are 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.
Normally a priced shortlist within about two hours of receiving your site postcode, headcount and start date. Dingwall and the Inverness commuter belt have decent stock, so most crews are checked in within days, and we can usually accelerate for urgent shutdown or emergency cover work.
Beyond Dingwall itself we house crews across Inverness, Alness, Invergordon, Tain, Muir of Ord, Strathpeffer and north toward Golspie and Brora. For west-coast sites we look at Ullapool and the A835 villages, and we shortlist on real drive time from the site rather than the nearest town on the map.
Yes. Every property is checked against your actual vehicle list before you commit - vans, pickups and trailers included. The newer estates around Dingwall typically offer driveways for several vehicles, and where a central terrace would mean a daily vehicle shuffle we say so and propose alternatives.
Yes - council tax, energy, water and broadband all stay in KrewBase's name and roll into a single monthly invoice paid by card. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and your accounts team deals with one document per property rather than a folder of utility bills.
Company invoicing is standard. We agree rates up front, house the crew, and invoice your finance team monthly paid by card with the property and cost detail your procurement process needs. Crew members never pay anything themselves or sign personal agreements.
Tell us early and we extend the let at the agreed rate, subject to availability - overruns are normal in this trade. If the site moves to another part of the Highlands we re-shortlist from the new postcode and relocate the crew in one planned move instead of patching it with hotel rooms.
