New town districts
The earliest districts, such as Craigshill and Ladywell, were built quickly in the 1960s and 1970s with distinctive flat-roofed designs. Later areas such as Dedridge, Eliburn and Murieston have more conventional two-storey homes. Because so many houses share designs, local engineers know where boilers and flues usually go, but older homes can still hide surprises such as redundant ducts or undersized pipework.
Livingston's homes were built over several decades, from early flat-roofed houses in Craigshill to family homes in Murieston and Eliburn. Many are now replacing boilers and controls.
Some early new town homes had unusual heating systems that have since been converted; engineers here are familiar with them.
Livingston is a new town, begun in 1962 and built in districts such as Dedridge, Craigshill, Eliburn and Murieston. Bathgate, Broxburn and the Calders surround it in West Lothian.

The local picture: Scotland
Scotland's longer, colder heating season puts boilers under more strain than in most of the UK. In the cities, tenement and four-in-a-block flats often have the boiler in a kitchen or cupboard with limited flue options, and large stone villas can have big, older systems. Many rural and island homes are off the gas grid altogether. Gas work in Scotland must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer, as elsewhere in the UK.
Gas work is not a DIY job: by law it must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Oil boilers are usually handled by OFTEC-registered technicians, and electrical work by a qualified electrician. How to check an engineer.
