No heating engineer listed in Findochty yet.

A heating engineer installs, services and repairs central heating systems, boilers and radiators.

Gas work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer - it's a legal requirement, not just good practice. In rural Scotland, where oil-fired heating is common, look for an engineer who is also OFTEC registered to service and repair oil boilers.

You can verify any engineer's Gas Safe or OFTEC registration number on the relevant register's website before they start work.

Findochty is a picturesque fishing village on the Moray Firth coast between Buckie and Portknockie, clustered around a small harbour sheltered by a rocky headland.

The village's colourful harbourside houses and strong fishing heritage give it a distinctive character and it is increasingly popular with visitors exploring the Moray coast.

Properties include traditional stone-built fishermen's cottages around the harbour, some painted in bright colours, and more modern housing on the higher ground.

Findochty has a primary school, a village shop and a strong community spirit, with Buckie providing the nearest range of services.

The attractive setting and characterful properties draw buyers looking for coastal village life, creating steady demand for renovation and maintenance work.

Moray is a council area on the southern shore of the Moray Firth in north-east Scotland, stretching from the fertile coastal lowlands inland through the broad valley of the River Spey to the fringes of the Cairngorms.

Elgin is the administrative centre and largest town, a handsome settlement built around the ruins of its medieval cathedral - once known as the Lantern of the North. Forres, Lossiemouth, Buckie and Keith are the other main towns, each with a distinct character shaped by the industries and landscape around them.

The region has the highest concentration of malt whisky distilleries in Scotland. Speyside - the valley of the River Spey running through Dufftown, Craigellachie and Aberlour - is home to some of the most famous names in Scotch whisky and the Malt Whisky Trail draws visitors from around the world. Dufftown alone has more distilleries than most countries.

RAF Lossiemouth is one of the largest military bases in Scotland and a major employer in the area, while the Moray Firth coast supports fishing communities at Buckie, Burghead and Lossiemouth. Farming - particularly barley growing, which feeds the distilleries - remains central to the local economy across the fertile coastal plain.

Transport links include the A96 connecting Elgin to Inverness and Aberdeen, with rail services running along the same corridor. The A95 follows the Spey valley south towards the Cairngorms, connecting the whisky towns and providing access to the Highlands.
