Roslin, Scotland • Scotland
Roslin is a historic village in Midlothian, Scotland, EH postcode, sitting in the glen of the same name about seven miles south of Edinburgh, with the Pentland Hills rising to the west. KrewBase houses contractor crews here in whole serviced houses and flats — bills, Wi-Fi and parking all in, one monthly invoice to your company — so the crew works the job while we run the accommodation.
Roslin mixes old and new: stone cottages and handsome villas around the village heart, and modern semis and detached houses on the estates that have grown up towards Bilston and the bypass. For crews we lean towards the newer stock — driveways rather than permit streets, two bathrooms rather than one, and heating systems a landlord has actually serviced in living memory. Whole houses, too: one crew, one key, no shared closes and no tiptoeing past a landlord's furniture.
Every shortlist house is walked and tested against the crew you actually describe: hot water for the full headcount before a seven o'clock start, Wi-Fi measured to a number rather than an adjective, and parking measured in metres against your real vehicles. If a pretty villa fails on any of the three, it does not make the list, and we would rather tell you that on the phone than have your foreman discover it on a wet Tuesday.
Roslin sits on Edinburgh's southern doorstep, and the work follows: construction and fit-out around the city, the hospital campus at Little France only minutes away, housing development across Midlothian, utility upgrades and the steady background of council and healthcare contracts. Crews also base here for sites in the Borders and along the bypass towns, because a village house with parking beats a city-centre hotel on price, space and every practical measure that matters on a job.
Midlothian's villages have little spare accommodation of their own, and what does exist gets snapped up by commuters within days of appearing. That is the gap KrewBase fills: proper whole houses for the duration of the contract, at a price the job can carry, without the crew competing with the Edinburgh rental market or sleeping twenty minutes further out every week as rooms evaporate.
The A701 runs straight from Roslin into Edinburgh, and the city bypass at Straiton links the A720 to sites east, west and south. Penicuik and Loanhead are minutes away, and the Borders road opens beyond. Seven miles is the honest distance to the city centre — half an hour in normal traffic, more at rush hour, and we shortlist against the real numbers.
Tell us where the site is and what time the shift starts, and we will map each shortlisted house against that exact journey at that exact hour — not the free-flowing numbers the map defaults to. You see the figures before you choose, for every house on the list. If one option saves ten minutes a day each way, that is more than an hour a week handed back to the job, and it adds up fast over a long contract.
Every KrewBase let is the whole property — one crew, no strangers, no shared close — with gas, electricity, water, council tax, Wi-Fi and TV licence in our name and paid by us. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is verified against your actual vehicles, five or more crew means two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place straight through the contract. Your crew arrives to a warm, working house and just gets on with the job.
Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card — rent, bills, cleaning, linen, all of it — with no booking fees, no per-head charges and no minimum stay or crew size. Quotes come back within two working hours of your enquiry, the best house is held while your people decide, and if the job changes size or dates mid-contract, we change the booking with it rather than hiding behind small print.
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 working hours of your enquiry, provided we have headcount, dates and a site location. Midlothian stock moves quickly because of commuter demand, so we put a free hold on the best option while your decision-makers catch up. There is no charge and no obligation for the hold.
Yes — we shortlist only houses where your listed vehicles fit off the road, verified in person. The newer estates around the village are usually good for two vans, and we avoid the older streets where parking would mean permits and a daily reshuffle.
Yes — it is about seven miles into the centre via the A701, and the city bypass at Straiton connects to sites all around Edinburgh. We shortlist against drive times at your shift hours, so you see honest numbers before choosing a house.
Rent, gas, electricity, water, council tax, Wi-Fi, TV licence, weekly cleaning and fresh linen — everything on one monthly invoice, paid by card. Your accounts team reconciles one line item per property, and nobody on site handles a utility bill at any point.
Yes — two people on a short job get the same whole house, tested Wi-Fi and weekly clean as a full squad on a long contract. Over more than a few nights, a house usually undercuts hotel rooms and restaurant meals as well.
