What to check before you hire a plumber
- For any gas boiler or gas appliance work, ask for the installer's RGII registration number and check it on rgii.ie
- Ask whether the call-out fee includes the first hour of labour
- Get the price of parts confirmed before a replacement goes ahead
- For leaks, ask how the plumber will locate the source before opening walls or floors
- Keep photos and the invoice if you may need to make a home insurance claim
What affects the price
- Out-of-hours timing (nights, weekends and bank holidays cost more)
- Access to concealed pipework under floors or behind tiling
- Whether parts are in the van or need to be sourced
- Age of the system, especially lead or old galvanised pipework
- Making good after the repair (plastering, tiling, flooring)
Call-out fees usually cover travel and the first period of labour. Ask whether yours does, and what the hourly rate is after that.
How to compare quotes

Compare what is included, not just the headline price. The cheapest quote often leaves out preparation, making good or certification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do plumbing quotes vary so much?
Quotes differ in what they include: preparation, parts, making good, certification and guarantees. Ask for an itemised quote so you can compare like for like.
Do these prices include VAT?
Yes, the guide ranges include VAT. Always check whether a written quote is inclusive or exclusive of VAT.
Is it cheaper to book outside peak season?
Often, for planned work. Emergency and out-of-hours call-outs cost more at any time of year.
Where is my stopcock?
In most Dublin houses the internal stopcock is under the kitchen sink, near where the supply pipe enters the house. There is usually also an external valve at the boundary under a small cover in the footpath. Knowing where both are before an emergency can save a lot of damage.
Does my home insurance cover a burst pipe?
Most home insurance policies cover sudden escape of water damage, but often not the cost of the repair to the pipe itself or gradual leaks. Check your policy wording and take photos before anything is removed.
Could my house still have lead pipes?
Homes built before about 1970 may still have lead supply pipes. Uisce Éireann can advise on the public side; a plumber can check and replace the pipework inside your boundary.
