Kirkton, Scotland • Scotland
On the north-west side of Dundee, Kirkton is a settled residential district in the DD postcode area, close to the A90 and within easy reach of the city centre and the Kingsway. Crews working across Dundee, Angus and the Tay region base here for straightforward housing and fast road links. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses and flats in Kirkton — bills, Wi-Fi and parking sorted before check-in, one monthly invoice to the company.
Kirkton is mostly twentieth-century housing — ex-council terraces and cottage flats, semis with gardens, and quiet streets that park well. It's the kind of stock that suits crews: solid, warm, close to the shops on the local high street, and better value than anything in the city centre. Larger groups are usually better in the semis on the district's edges, where driveways take vans comfortably and there's a bit of garden to dry work kit after a wet shift on site. There's a decent supermarket and the usual takeaways within walking distance, so the crew isn't driving for a pint of milk after a twelve-hour day.
We only shortlist what passes the practical tests: parking proven against the actual vehicles, Wi-Fi speed-tested, two bathrooms for five or more, and a property that will hold up over a long contract without the landlord hovering. Anything damp, tired or awkward to park at gets walked past before it reaches your list. The standard doesn't drop because the rent is lower than the city's — the checks are the checks.
Dundee pulls crews for construction and housing development across the city and Angus, healthcare rotations at the big hospitals on this side of the city, and logistics along the A90 corridor. Manufacturing and engineering work around the city and the Tay region adds longer contracts, and infrastructure jobs across Tayside keep demand steady through the year rather than just in the summer season. Because the hospital and the big employers sit on this side of the city, a west-side base shaves time off the rota every single day.
With the work spread between the city, the waterfront, the hospitals and the industrial estates, a base in Kirkton keeps most commutes short without paying city-centre money. A crew can be at most Dundee sites within minutes and heading up the A90 towards Angus without ever crossing the city centre. Over a six-month contract, those saved minutes add up to days the crew gets back, and the client gets back with them.
The A90 skirts the west side of Dundee, running north to Aberdeen and south across the Tay towards Perth, and the Kingsway links the city's districts without cutting through the centre. Dundee city centre and the waterfront are about ten minutes away, and rail from Dundee station covers Aberdeen, Perth, Edinburgh and Glasgow for crew working further afield or heading home at the weekend. For crew working up towards Forfar or down towards Perth, the A90 keeps those journeys on one road without a city detour.
Send us the site postcode and we shortlist by measured drive time — and if the job shifts across the city, we can usually move the booking to suit rather than starting from scratch. The aim is a commute your crew can live with for months, not a route that looks fine on day one. The same thinking covers crew changes: a new starter can be housed in the same district without disturbing the existing arrangement.
The crew lets the whole property — no sharing with strangers, no hotel breakfast slot, no landlord next door. Bills for gas, electricity, council tax, water, Wi-Fi and TV licence are in our name and bundled into one monthly figure. Wi-Fi is tested before arrival, parking checked against the crew's real vehicles, and five or more people means two bathrooms. A weekly clean with fresh linen is included as standard.
Maintenance is our responsibility — report it and we fix it, without the crew chasing anyone. The company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay, and the setup stays the same however long the contract runs. Beds can be added or released as the roster changes, and the invoice follows the crew size rather than punishing it.
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.
Usually within two hours. Tell us the site postcode, crew size and start date, and we'll come back with a shortlist of whole houses in Kirkton and nearby districts, each checked for parking, Wi-Fi and drive time. The shortlist is free and there's no obligation to book, so you can line the accommodation up before the contract is even signed.
All of them — plus jobs pushing into Angus, Perthshire and Fife. Kirkton's position by the A90 and the Kingsway means a crew can cover the city centre, the waterfront, the hospitals and the industrial estates from one base, and we shortlist by measured drive time to wherever the gate actually is, not to an arbitrary radius on a map.
Yes, and verified before you book. We check each Kirkton property's parking against the actual vehicles the crew drives — the semis on the district's edges usually have driveways that take vans comfortably, while some tighter streets simply don't make the list. Tell us what the crew drives and we'll only shortlist what genuinely fits.
Yes — gas, electricity, council tax, water, Wi-Fi and TV licence are all in our name and bundled into one monthly figure. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, so the crew knows exactly what they're getting, and nothing is metered back to you later. The price agreed at the start is the price on the invoice every month.
That's the standard setup. One monthly invoice covers rent and all bills paid by card, with no booking fees. Your accounts team gets a single predictable cost for the whole stay, and the crew never handles utility accounts, meter readings or receipts — the paperwork is exactly one invoice a month, every month.
Yes. Check-in is arranged around shift patterns rather than office hours, and everything — keys, Wi-Fi, heating — is confirmed before the crew lands, whatever time that is. With the whole property to themselves, daysleepers aren't disturbed by housekeeping or anyone else's schedule, and the weekly clean can be timed to suit the rota.
