Homes in North Dublin City and what that means for plumbing
A mix of Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces around Phibsborough, Stoneybatter, Drumcondra, Fairview and East Wall, and large 1930s–1950s housing schemes in Cabra, Artane and Coolock. Clontarf adds bigger period and mid-century family homes along the bay.
Period homes often still have lead or galvanised supply pipes, cast-iron waste stacks and low mains pressure, so repairs can turn up older pipework that is worth replacing at the same time. 1930s–1960s houses commonly have pipework that has been patched over decades, older cold-water tanks in the attic and copper that is thinning at joints.
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

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover Artane, Cabra, Clontarf, Coolock, Drumcondra, East Wall, Fairview, Glasnevin, Phibsborough and Stoneybatter?
Yes. North Dublin City includes Artane, Cabra, Clontarf, Coolock, Drumcondra, East Wall, Fairview, Glasnevin, Phibsborough and Stoneybatter. If you are just outside these areas, get in touch anyway.
What plumbing issues are common in North Dublin City?
Period homes often still have lead or galvanised supply pipes, cast-iron waste stacks and low mains pressure, so repairs can turn up older pipework that is worth replacing at the same time. 1930s–1960s houses commonly have pipework that has been patched over decades, older cold-water tanks in the attic and copper that is thinning at joints.
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.
Can a plumber fix my gas boiler?
Only if they are a Registered Gas Installer. Many plumbers are RGI-registered, but always check before anyone works on a gas appliance.
