You didn't tell what DE you use, so assuming that you use XFCE as the Devuan's default DE, I think it's probably XFCE specific issue. Just tested it in MATE DE by adding UK layout and it works fine.
XFCE has a config file for keyboard layouts in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/keyboard-layout.xml. Check out the contents of this file. I think it should have uk in the layout property field, something like this . Or if you have both UK and US layouts.

See 'man loadkeys' - I think it's loadkeys UK, but might be GB.

Thanks. When I run:

# service keyboard-setup restart

I get:

keyboard-setup: unrecognized service

I've set the keyboard to my locale (UK) but the @ and " keys are still in the wrong place.

Try

# apt install keyboard-configuration console-setup
# dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
# service keyboard-setup restart

Changing the layout settings in Settings>Keyboard>Layout (after installing my language, EN UK), the change does not take effect.
