Ellon, Scotland • Scotland
Sixteen miles north of Aberdeen on the A90, Ellon is a fast-growing town in the AB postcode area where the Ythan valley meets the road to Peterhead. New housing goes up every year, and the crews building it — along with those on energy, utility and infrastructure work across the north-east — need somewhere proper to live. KrewBase takes whole serviced houses and flats in and around Ellon with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice going straight to your company.
Ellon's growth shows in its housing. The newer estates around the town's edge are full of three- and four-bedroom family houses with driveways and gardens, while the older centre has stone terraces and semis within walking distance of the shops. For crews we lean towards the newer stock: space for vans, two bathrooms on bigger headcounts, and a kitchen table that seats the whole crew. Everything we offer is checked for broadband, parking and the drive to site before it reaches you.
The north-east keeps a steady flow of work: housing development in and around Ellon itself, energy-sector activity along the Aberdeenshire coast, utilities and road infrastructure across the region. Crews working across Aberdeenshire often find Ellon the practical base — close enough to Aberdeen for supplies and changes of staff, far enough out for quiet streets and easy parking. A whole house with one monthly invoice keeps the admin as simple as the living.
The A90 dual carriageway is Ellon's front door: Aberdeen in around 25 minutes, Peterhead 25 miles north, and the A947 branching off towards Oldmeldrum and Turriff. Regular buses link Aberdeen for crew changes without a car. We shortlist by drive time from the actual site, so a crew working on the coast gets a different set of options to one heading into the city every day.
You take the whole property — no sharing, no other tenants. All bills stay in our name: council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is checked against the vehicles on the job, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms in our search. A weekly clean with linen keeps the place decent, and maintenance is our problem, not the crew's. One monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees, no minimum crew 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 within two working hours of receiving the site postcode, crew size and dates. Every house is pre-checked for drive time, parking, broadband speed and bathrooms, so the shortlist you get is made of properties you can actually book, not a long list of maybes.
Ellon itself, including the newer edge estates and the older centre, plus Pitmedden, Tarves and the villages along the A90 towards Aberdeen when the site sits that way. If the job is towards Peterhead or along the coast, we'll shortlist from that direction instead.
Yes. We match parking to the vehicles you list before shortlisting — driveways and garages on the newer estates handle vans comfortably. The parking arrangement is confirmed in the property summary, so there are no surprises when the crew arrives with the vehicles.
Everything sits in our name — council tax, utilities, broadband — and rolls into a single monthly invoice to your company paid by card. The crew pays nothing and files no receipts, and there are no booking fees added on top.
No. Two people for a few weeks get exactly the same service as a dozen for six months. The house is sized to the crew, not the other way round, and if the job extends we normally extend the stay in the same property.
We do, directly. The crew phones us with any problem — heating, plumbing, broadband — and our contractor sorts it. It's never charged to your company beyond the agreed monthly rate, and it's never a job for the site manager.
