North Devon Heating Engineers is a directory, not an agency. We built it to answer a simple, recurring problem: when a boiler breaks down or a landlord needs a gas safety certificate sorted, most searches lead to national comparison sites showing the same rotating cast of franchises, or lead-generation forms that pass your details to whoever's paid to be first in the queue that week. We wanted something simpler — a genuine list of the heating and plumbing businesses actually working in North Devon, with real contact details, so you can call the business yourself.
How the listings are built. The 86 businesses listed here were compiled from publicly available business information — trade categories, addresses, phone numbers, opening hours, and Google review counts and ratings where a business has them. We haven't asked every business's permission to be listed, in the same way a phone book or Google Maps doesn't ask permission before showing a business's public details. If you run a business listed here and want anything corrected, updated, or removed entirely, email us and we'll act on it — see our Terms page for the full policy, and our Add Your Business page if you're not listed yet and want to be.
About the Featured slot. Tarka Boilers, based in Barnstaple, is our Featured partner and appears more prominently across the site — on the homepage, and with a highlighted position on relevant service pages. This is a paid commercial arrangement: Tarka Boilers pays for that visibility, in the same way a business might pay for a prominent spot in a printed trade directory. It doesn't affect how any other business's listing is written or ranked, and it doesn't mean we've independently vetted Tarka Boilers' work any more thoroughly than any other listed business. We think it's better to say this plainly than to pretend every part of a free directory is funded out of goodwill.
What we don't do. We don't sell your details to multiple tradespeople, we don't charge you to browse or contact anyone listed, and we don't rank businesses by who's paid the most — aside from the single Featured slot described above. Ratings and review counts shown come from Google, not from us, and reflect what's publicly visible on each business's Google listing at the time our data was last compiled.
