Larkhall, Scotland • Scotland
Perched above the Clyde valley, Larkhall is a former mining town in the ML postcode area of South Lanarkshire, a few miles from Hamilton with the M74 close by. Crews working across Lanarkshire and into Glasgow base here for honest housing and fast roads. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses and flats in Larkhall — bills, Wi-Fi and parking sorted before check-in, one monthly invoice to the company.
Larkhall's housing is solid and practical: rows of stone terraces and miners' cottages in the older streets, post-war semis with gardens through the rest of the town, and newer estates on the outskirts with driveways and bigger plots. For crews, the semis and estate houses are usually the pick — parking is easier, rooms are bigger, and the town's streets take vans without fuss or permits. And with the town's own shops, supermarkets and takeaways along the main roads, the crew's day-to-day needs are met without a drive into Hamilton.
We filter for what matters: parking proven against the actual vehicles, Wi-Fi speed-tested, two bathrooms for five or more, and a property that will still be decent in month four of a contract rather than just on day one. Anything damp, tired or awkward to park at gets walked past before it reaches your shortlist, whatever the photographs suggest. And because the housing stock here is honest, the crew houses usually are too.
Lanarkshire keeps crews busy: construction and housing development across the county, logistics along the M74, manufacturing with a long pedigree in this corner of Scotland, and public-sector work including healthcare at the hospitals in Hamilton and East Kilbride. Glasgow is within easy reach, so city contracts work from a Larkhall base too, and the town's own station means some of the crew may not need the van at all. The mix keeps the town busy with trades of every kind, from sparks and plumbers on the housing sites to drivers working the corridor.
Much of the work sits on the M74 corridor or is scattered across the towns, so a base with quick access in every direction serves crews better than any single-site camp. When a contract moves from one side of the county to the other, the crew's housing in Larkhall keeps working without a reset. Few bases in Lanarkshire keep Glasgow, Edinburgh and the M74 within such easy reach at the same time.
The A71 runs through town towards Hamilton and Edinburgh, the M74 is minutes away opening the route north to Glasgow and south towards Carlisle, and Larkhall's own station has trains to Glasgow on the Argyle line. Hamilton, Motherwell and East Kilbride are all short drives, which puts most of Lanarkshire's sites within easy reach of one well-placed house. Send us the site postcode and we shortlist by measured drive time — no guesswork, no optimistic maps.
If the job moves mid-contract, tell us early and we'll usually rebase the crew without breaking the booking, keeping the same terms and the same single monthly invoice. The aim is a commute the crew can live with for months. The train also gives the crew a way into Glasgow at the weekend or home for a break without adding motorway miles to the van or paying city prices to leave it standing.
The crew lets the whole property — no shared corridors, no hotel routine, 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 check-in, parking checked against real vehicles, and five or more people means two bathrooms. A weekly clean and fresh linen keep the place straight.
Maintenance is ours to fix. The company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay — the same straight terms for two people or twenty, on a two-week job or a contract that runs past the year. Nobody on site has to think about the house at all — no landlord calls, no meter readings, no parking disputes — which is rather the point.
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 hours of your enquiry. Tell us the site postcode, headcount and start date, and we'll return a shortlist of whole houses in Larkhall and the neighbouring towns, each checked for parking, Wi-Fi and real drive time. There's no charge for the shortlist and no obligation to book, so you can cost the accommodation before you commit to the contract.
Larkhall itself plus Hamilton, Motherwell, Wishaw, Stonehouse, Strathaven and the whole M74 corridor. We shortlist by measured drive time from the site rather than fixed boundaries, so the right base follows the job — whether that's in town or a few miles out towards the next contract on the list.
Yes, and verified before booking. The post-war semis and newer estate houses usually have driveways that take vans comfortably, while some older terrace streets are tighter. Tell us the vehicles and we'll only shortlist Larkhall properties where everything fits off the road, including the trailer if there is one.
Yes — gas, electricity, council tax, water, Wi-Fi and TV licence are all in our name and inside one monthly figure. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in rather than promised, and nothing is metered back at the end of the stay. The crew arrives to a working house and gets on with the job, with no readings, no bills and no arguments.
That's the standard arrangement. One monthly invoice covers rent and every bill paid by card, with no booking fees or extras. Your accounts team deals with a single predictable cost, and the crew never touches a meter or a utility account — the paperwork is one invoice a month, every month, however the roster shifts.
Yes. Check-in is arranged around shift times, and with the whole property to themselves the crew isn't fighting someone else's schedule — no housekeeping knocking mid-morning. Keys, heating and tested Wi-Fi are all in place before the crew lands, whatever hour that is, and the weekly clean can be timed around the rota rather than a fixed slot.

If Larkhall is short on the right house for your crew, Glasgow is the obvious back-up, roughly 13 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Glasgow page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
