No heating engineer listed in Stoneyburn 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.

Stoneyburn is a former mining village between Addiewell and Fauldhouse, its character shaped entirely by the coal industry that once sustained it.

Like many communities in this part of West Lothian, it has adapted since the pit closures, with newer housing alongside the original miners' rows.

West Calder and Whitburn are the nearest towns for everyday services and the M8 provides the main connection to Edinburgh and Glasgow.

West Lothian is a council area in the heart of the central belt, sitting between Edinburgh to the east, Falkirk to the north and North Lanarkshire to the west.

It is a county of contrasts: historic royal burghs like Linlithgow and ancient villages like Torphichen sit alongside the new town of Livingston and the former mining and shale oil communities that shaped the landscape in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Livingston is the county's main centre - Scotland's fifth-largest settlement - but West Lothian's character is defined as much by its smaller towns: Bathgate, Broxburn, Whitburn and Linlithgow each have their own distinct identity.

The oil shale industry, pioneered here in the 1850s by James Young, left a lasting mark on the landscape in the form of distinctive pink bings - the waste heaps of the shale works - that have become recognised landmarks in their own right.

West Lothian has excellent transport connections, with the M8 and M9 crossing the county, two rail lines linking it to Edinburgh and Glasgow and Edinburgh Airport on its eastern edge.
