Offshore Worker Accommodation Scotland
Offshore workers have the tightest accommodation requirements of any sector. Rotations are fixed, helicopter times shift, and crews often need a bed the night before a heli-flight and again immediately after returning to shore. Trade Rentals provides offshore worker accommodation across Aberdeen and Scotland's east coast on a fully flexible, exclusive-use basis.
We support 14/14, 21/21 and 28/28 rotations for oil and gas, offshore wind, subsea and decommissioning crews. Properties are furnished, cleaned between rotations, and available for the full contract duration — not just the days worked onshore.
Whether you're managing a two-person rotation or coordinating 60+ crew across multiple installations, we consolidate the sourcing, contracting and billing into a single relationship.
Industry Challenges
Fixed rotation dates that shift
Weather-driven helicopter delays turn hotel bookings into missed nights and last-minute charges.
Late-night arrivals from the heliport
Crews returning to shore need immediate, easy access to a bed.
Storage of PPE and offshore bags
Standard hotels don't accommodate bulky kit between rotations.
Long contracts with unpredictable schedules
Offshore contracts are measured in years, not weeks — need housing that flexes.
Accommodation Requirements
24/7 self check-in
Key-safe or smart-lock access for post-flight arrivals at any hour.
Close to Aberdeen heliport and airport
Housing in Dyce, Bucksburn and Kingswells minimises commute after long transit.
Storage between rotations
Properties large enough to leave kit onshore when offshore.
Laundry for offshore workwear
Washer/dryer in every property, so crews leave clean.
