Strathaven, Scotland • Scotland
Strathaven is a market town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, in the ML postcode area, with a working high street and housing that spreads out to the surrounding villages. It sits a few miles south of Hamilton, with the M74 and the A71 both within an easy drive, so Glasgow and the central belt are commutable. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses and flats for crews working across Lanarkshire, with bills, Wi-Fi and parking included and one monthly invoice — no B&B roulette, no per-room rates.
Strathaven mixes handsome stone-built houses around the town centre with newer detached and semi-detached estates on the outskirts, plus bungalows and terraces through the older streets. It's the kind of stock that suits crews well — driveways and garages are common, which matters when every van needs somewhere legal to sit overnight. We shortlist properties with the layout trades crews need: decent-sized kitchens, drying space for wet gear, and enough bathrooms that a five-strong crew isn't queueing at seven in the morning.
Lanarkshire keeps trades busy across the board: housing development around the new and expanding communities, infrastructure and roadwork contracts, logistics and light manufacturing around the central belt, and healthcare jobs linked to the big hospitals in Hamilton and Glasgow. Strathaven works as a base because it's close enough to reach any of that within a reasonable drive, while staying out of the city itself — quieter nights, easier parking, and houses that are practical rather than precious.
The M74 is the spine of the commute: junctions near Bothwell and Kirkmuirhill put Hamilton, Motherwell and Glasgow within about half an hour, and the road runs south to Carlisle for crews with jobs further down the corridor. The A71 links west towards Kilmarnock and east towards Edinburgh's bypass. Strathaven itself is served by local buses, but crews normally run vans, so we shortlist by drive time from the site — tell us the postcode and we'll sanity-check the morning run before you book.
The whole house is yours — no per-room lets, no sharing with strangers. Rent, council tax, gas, electricity and broadband all sit in our name and arrive as one monthly invoice, paid by card. Wi-Fi gets a speed test before check-in, parking is checked against your vehicles, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms as standard. A weekly clean and fresh linen keep things straight, maintenance is handled by us, and there are no booking fees or minimum stay — two people for a few weeks are as welcome as a big crew for 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.
Two working hours from a clear enquiry — site postcode, crew size, dates. We hold the shortlisted properties while you decide, and the paperwork is handled between us and your company, so check-in can happen within days of confirmation.
The town itself plus the surrounding villages towards Glassford, Sandford, East Kilbride and the Hamilton side. If your site sits further out, send the location and we'll shortlist by honest drive time rather than drawing a circle on a map.
Yes — parking is one of our first filters. We check off-road space against the number and size of vehicles on the job before proposing anything, because a crew house without van parking isn't a crew house. Driveways and garages are common in this stock.
That's how it works. Rent, council tax, utilities and broadband all sit in our name and arrive on one monthly invoice addressed to your company, paid by card. There are no booking fees, service charges or surprise extras bolted on at the end.
For stays beyond a few nights, usually. A house gives your crew a kitchen, proper beds each, somewhere to dry gear and no checkout times — and it typically works out cheaper per person than hotel rooms plus eating out. Hotels suit one-night stops; houses suit jobs.
Three things: where the site is, how many people need beds and their genders for room planning, and the start and end dates. With that we shortlist real, viewed properties and give you a firm all-in price rather than an estimate.

If Strathaven is short on the right house for your crew, Glasgow is the obvious back-up, roughly 14 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Glasgow page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
