Rogart, Scotland • Scotland
Rogart is a small village in Sutherland, in the Highlands of Scotland, IV postcode, sitting on the main road between Golspie and Lairg with its own station on the Far North railway line. When crews work this part of the Highlands, KrewBase houses them in whole serviced properties within honest reach of site — bills, Wi-Fi and parking in, and one monthly invoice to your company at the end of it.
Housing around Rogart is scattered: croft houses, stone cottages, bungalows along the main road and the occasional newer build on the edge of the strath. Rental stock is thin, and most of what exists is meant for families, not short lets — which is why whole-property crew lets work well here: the owner gets a straightforward tenant, and the crew gets a proper house rather than a spare room.
Our checks are thorough because tradesmen notice: heating that holds in a Highland January, hot water for the full crew, Wi-Fi tested to a number, and parking for the actual vehicles. Oil-fired heating and private water supplies are common in this part of Sutherland, and we make sure the crew knows how both work before the first night — nobody wants a cold lesson at six in the morning.
Crews come to Sutherland for renewables and grid work — wind, hydro and the lines that connect them — alongside road maintenance, forestry, construction and the utilities and public-sector jobs that keep a huge, sparse district running. Contracts tend to be seasonal and site-based, with crews rotating in and out over months rather than settling, and accommodation is usually the hardest line on the budget because there is so little of it locally.
The pattern is well known to anyone who has worked the north: the job is won in January, the nearest hotel is an hour away and booked solid by tourists anyway, and the caravan option dies by November along with the plumbing in it. A serviced crew house within sensible drive time is the fix — warm, proper beds, a working kitchen, drying space for kit and somewhere to park the vans without asking anyone's permission.
Rogart sits on the road between Golspie and Lairg: north-east finds the coast at Golspie and Dornoch, south reaches Lairg where the road forks for the north and west. Inverness is the nearest city, a long hour or so down through the straths. The village has its own station on the Far North Line, which is a genuine luxury this far north — crew can come and go by train without a two-hour taxi.
Distances here are honest ones: a 'nearby' site can still be forty minutes of single-track road behind a timber lorry, and the sat-nav's optimism is legendary. Tell us the site location — a map pin is fine — and we shortlist by real drive time, checked on the actual roads at the actual hours, and we say plainly when a property is the wrong side of the hills for your particular job, however nice the house is.
The KrewBase package is identical wherever the map pin lands: the whole property for one crew, every bill in our name — gas or oil, electricity, water, council tax, Wi-Fi, TV licence — and one monthly invoice, paid by card. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is checked against your real vehicles, five or more crew means two bathrooms, and a cleaner comes weekly with fresh linen so the house stays decent from week one to week twenty.
There are no booking fees, no minimum crew size and no minimum stay, and a two-person crew on a short contract gets the same tested house, working heating and weekly clean as a full squad booked for months. Maintenance during the stay is ours to sort — one number to call, no receipts to file, no landlord to chase, and no surprise deductions from anyone's deposit at the end of the job.
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 headcount, dates and a site location and we aim to reply with a shortlist within two working hours. Highland stock is limited, so more notice means more choice — but we have placed crews within days when the job demanded it.
Almost always — houses out here tend to sit on their own ground with driveways and space beside them. We still measure it against your vehicle list before shortlisting, because a crew arriving with a trailer needs to know it fits before they leave Inverness.
Yes — the village has a station on the Far North Line between Inverness and Wick, so rail is a realistic option for crew changes. Many still drive up the A9 with the kit, but the train takes the pressure off swaps and means nobody has to do a late-night run home on a Friday.
Rent, all bills — gas or oil, electricity, water, council tax — Wi-Fi, TV licence, weekly cleaning and fresh linen. One monthly invoice covers it paid by card. The crew brings clothes, food and work gear; everything else is running when they arrive.
We do — one number covers anything from a dripping tap to a heating failure, and we chase the trades so the crew does not. Highland call-outs can mean a wait for parts, but you will always know what is happening and when it will be fixed.
Yes — we shortlist by drive time, not boundaries, so crews working towards Golspie, Dornoch, Lairg or the north coast are covered. If the honest answer is that a house in another direction suits your site better, we will tell you and quote it plainly.
