Glasgow, Scotland • Scotland
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, postcode area G, at the junction of the M8, M74, M77 and M80 — which is why crews on central belt jobs end up here whether the site is in the city or fifty miles out. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats across Glasgow with bills, Wi-Fi and parking included and one monthly invoice for the company. From tradesperson-scale terraces to proper family houses for bigger squads, we shortlist for the commute and the vans, not the postcard view.
Glasgow's stock is deep, and each neighbourhood has its own logic. The south side — Govanhill, Shawlands, Pollok — mixes sturdy tenements and semis with quick M74 and M77 access. The east end brings terraces and newer estates near the M8. The north and west offer bigger houses and the M80 corridor. For crews, we weight parking and drive time over everything: a tenement with no parking is no use to a van crew, whatever the rent. KrewBase shortlists properties with real parking, proper heating, two bathrooms where five or more are staying, and the commute measured at rush hour, not midnight.
The M8, M74, M77 and M80 fan out from here, so one Glasgow base can cover construction and housing sites across the central belt, energy and grid work through Lanarkshire, logistics along the motorway network and the city itself, and the hospitals and institutions that pull in healthcare crews from across Scotland. Crews also stage here before jobs further north and west. The pattern is familiar to us: a squad lands in Glasgow, bases up for the duration, and the house becomes the crew's proper base rather than a string of hotel rooms.
Glasgow has two main rail stations and a suburban network, plus the M8 east to Edinburgh in around an hour, the M74 south to Carlisle, the M77 to Ayrshire and the M80 to Stirling. Edinburgh is roughly 40 miles east. Traffic is the honest complication — a site ten map-miles away can be forty minutes at 8am — so we shortlist by measured drive time from the actual site, at actual commute hours. Tell us where the job is and the shift pattern, and we'll put the crew in the right part of the city rather than the cheapest.
The whole property is yours, and KrewBase carries every cost in its name: rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is checked against the vehicles turning up, and five-plus properties come with two bathrooms. Weekly cleaning and fresh linen are included, maintenance goes to us, and your accounts team gets one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew size or stay — two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months.
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 during working hours from crew size, site location and shift pattern. The city's stock is deep, so the shortlist is usually about matching the right neighbourhood to the commute rather than finding anything at all. If the job has multiple sites, send them all and we'll plan around them.
Usually the south side and east end for motorway access and house-with-drive stock. We match by site and shift pattern — a Govanhill tenement near the M74 beats a big house in the wrong corner if parking's sorted elsewhere. The shortlist explains the trade-offs.
Every shortlisted property is checked against the vehicles on the job. In a city of tenements that's the first filter, not an afterthought — we only forward houses where the vans genuinely park, and we confirm it before check-in. If a property fails that check, it never reaches your list.
Yes — one monthly invoice, paid by card covering rent and every bill. No booking fees, no per-person extras. Two people or twenty, the paperwork is identical and your accounts team handles a single document. Utility bills never reach your crew or your inbox.
Constantly. The M8, M74, M77 and M80 put Edinburgh, Ayrshire, Lanarkshire and Stirling within reach. Tell us where the sites are and we shortlist from the side of the city that kills the commute, measured at rush hour. Crew changes are easy thanks to the two main rail stations.
Yes. Send us the job and dates and we move quickly; if the job overruns, extending the same house is normally a quick conversation rather than a fresh search. Night-shift patterns are noted at booking so housekeeping works around sleeping crew.
