East Kilbride, Scotland • Scotland
East Kilbride is Scotland's first new town, planned from the 1940s with wide streets, gardens and parking, and it still works brilliantly as a crew base eight miles south of Glasgow in the G postcode area. The A726 links it straight to the M74, so crews reach sites up and down the Clyde corridor in minutes without paying city rents. KrewBase takes whole serviced houses and flats across East Kilbride with every bill in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice going to your company.
East Kilbride was built for exactly this. The new-town estates — Stewartfield, Westwood, The Murray and the rest — are full of semi-detached and detached houses with driveways, gardens and space to breathe, plus flats nearer the town centre for smaller crews. We favour the houses with real parking and two bathrooms for crews of five or more, and we skip anything that needs the crew to double-park a van on a grass verge. It's the kind of stock where a six-month booking feels normal, not awkward.
The M74 corridor keeps South Lanarkshire busy: housing development across the new towns, logistics and distribution work near the motorway, a long manufacturing tradition and steady public-sector projects in health and education. Crews working across the central belt often base in East Kilbride because it reaches Glasgow, Hamilton and the M8 without sitting in either. Whether the job is six weeks or a year, a whole house here beats a hotel corridor every time.
The A726 takes you to the M74 at junction 5 in under ten minutes, opening the whole central belt. Glasgow is eight miles north-west, Hamilton five miles east, and the M8 interchange at Raith sits a short run beyond that. East Kilbride has its own rail and bus links into Glasgow for crew changes. Tell us the site postcode and we shortlist by drive time, so a crew working near Strathaven isn't housed on the far side of the town.
The let is the whole property — house or flat, no sharing with strangers. All bills stay in our name: council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in and parking is verified against the vehicles on the job. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms as standard in our search, and a weekly clean plus linen keeps the place presentable. Any maintenance lands with us, not the crew. 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.
Two working hours is our standard. Give us the site postcode, crew size and start date, and we check drive time, parking, bathroom count and broadband on every option before sending the list — so what's in front of you is genuinely bookable, not bait.
All of it and the villages around it. The new-town estates such as Stewartfield, Westwood and The Murray suit bigger crews with vans; the flats near the town centre work well for pairs. We also cover Strathaven, Eaglesham and Hamilton side placements when the site demands it.
We only shortlist properties where parking is confirmed against the vehicles you list — van lengths included. Most East Kilbride houses have driveways precisely because the town was planned around the car, but we still verify it before the crew travels.
Yes — council tax, utilities, broadband and the parking that comes with the property all sit in our name, behind a single monthly invoice to your company paid by card. Nothing gets charged to the crew, and there are no booking fees.
No. Two people for a few weeks get the same service as twenty for six months. Some bookings run longer, some shorter — if the job extends, tell us and we'll usually extend the stay in the same house rather than move anyone.
Tell us before the current end date and we'll normally extend in place, at the agreed rate. If the house is already rebooked, we'll present alternatives with the same drive time before anyone packs a bag — there's never a gap where the crew has nowhere to go.

East Kilbride sits about 7 miles from Glasgow. 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 Glasgow page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
