Edinburgh, Scotland • Scotland
Edinburgh draws serious contract work, but putting a crew in city-centre hotels burns the budget within a week. KrewBase takes whole serviced flats and houses across the EH postcode area instead — Leith, Granton, Gorgie, the western suburbs — with every bill in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice going straight to your company. Crews reach the city bypass, the M8 or the A1 in minutes, and bigger sites across the Lothians are an easy run from a proper house with a proper kitchen.
The centre is tenements — handsome, but stairs, permits and no parking. For crews we look to the parts of the city that work for workers: Leith and Granton for the north and the bypass, Gorgie, Sighthill and the western suburbs towards Corstorphine for the M8 and the Gyle, and Stockbridge-side flats for smaller crews nearer town. We choose space, parking and broadband over postcode prestige every time. Every option is checked against the crew's vehicles and headcount before it reaches you.
The capital runs on housing refurbishment and new development, hospital and university projects, grid upgrades and the constant maintenance of a busy tourist city. Crews working across Edinburgh and the Lothians — builders, engineers, care staff, events crews — rotate through sites all year, and festival season stretches accommodation hard. A whole house with a monthly invoice keeps costs level when hotels are tripling their rates.
The A720 city bypass rings the south and west, the M8 runs to Glasgow, the A1 heads south and the Forth crossings open Fife and the north. Waverley and Haymarket stations sit on the main east-coast line, and the trams reach the airport and the western suburbs. Traffic is real, so we shortlist by drive time from the actual site, whether that's Granton, Straiton, the Royal Mile or somewhere out in West Lothian.
You get the whole flat or house — no shared corridors, no strangers in the next room. Bills stay in our name: council tax, utilities, broadband, the lot. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is checked against your vehicles, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms in our search. A weekly clean with linen keeps things straight, and maintenance is ours to sort. One monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees, no minimum stay — two people for a month are as welcome as a full crew for a year.
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 postcode, headcount and start date and you'll have a shortlist within two working hours. In Edinburgh we also weigh parking permits, stair access and festival-season pricing before presenting options, because a cheap flat with no van parking is no saving at all.
City-wide and into the Lothians. Leith and Granton suit the north and bypass; Gorgie, Sighthill and the western suburbs suit M8 traffic; smaller crews often take flats nearer the centre. If the site is in Livingston, Dalkeith or Musselburgh, we'll shortlist from that side instead.
Cost, space and sanity. A house sleeps the crew together, has a kitchen and a washing machine, and doesn't triple in price during the festivals. Hotels split crews across floors and bill per room per night; we bill your company once a month for the whole property.
We check it before offering anything. Edinburgh parking is the one thing hotels can't fix, so we shortlist houses with driveways, garages or confirmed permit space sized to the vehicles you list — van lengths included — and we put it in the house summary.
The contract sits with your company. One invoice per month covers rent, council tax, utilities and broadband, paid by card. The crew never pays or claims anything back, you don't process a stack of receipts, and there are no booking fees on top.
Three things: the site postcode or location, the crew size, and the rough dates. With those we shortlist suitable whole properties within two hours, confirm parking and broadband on each, and follow up with one monthly rate your company can approve in a single email.
