The national picture

Plumbing in Ireland: What to Know

A large share of Irish homes outside the cities still run on oil-fired central heating, which makes the country one of the strongest markets in Europe for SEAI heat pump and home-energy upgrade grants. If your boiler is over ten years old, it is worth checking what you qualify for before you replace like for like.

Water hardness varies by region. The east and midlands, supplied largely from limestone catchments, have harder water and more limescale, so scale management and annual boiler servicing matter more there. The west and coastal counties generally have softer water.

For any gas work the law is clear: only an RGI-registered gas installer may carry it out, and the registration number can be checked on the public register at rgi.ie. For general plumbing there is no legal register, so a good local reputation and proof of insurance are what to look for.

Common questions

Finding a Plumber in Ireland: Common Questions

How do I find a plumber near me in Ireland?

Pick your county from the list on this page and you get every local plumber and RGI-registered gas installer we hold for that county, 1,631 in total across the country. From there you can filter to your own town or area and contact a plumber directly by phone or email. There are no booking fees, no sign-up and no lead forms.

Are the plumbers listed RGI-registered?

100% of the plumbers on this directory are on the RGI (Registered Gas Installers) public register. RGI registration is a legal requirement for gas boiler work in Ireland, so it is a strong indicator of a professional contractor. Each county page marks which listings are RGI-registered, and you should always confirm the registration number at rgi.ie before any gas work starts.

How much does a plumber cost in Ireland in 2026?

As a rough national guide, plumbers charge €60 to €100 per hour for standard call-outs, €80 to €150 for emergencies, €2,200 to €3,200 for a new combi boiler installed, and €4,500 to €9,000 for a full bathroom fit-out. Rates are broadly similar across the country, though Dublin and the larger cities sit at the higher end. Get written quotes from two or three local plumbers before committing to significant work.

Do I need an RGI-registered plumber?

For gas boiler installation and any notifiable gas work you are legally required to use an RGI-registered gas installer. For general plumbing such as burst pipes, leaks, bathroom fitting and central heating, RGI registration is not a legal requirement, but it is still a good sign of a professional, insured contractor.

Is this directory free to use?

Yes. Browsing the directory, filtering by area and contacting a plumber are all completely free, with no sign-up and no account needed. We do not sell your details or run your enquiry through a lead-generation middleman, you contact the plumber directly.

How is this different from a lead-generation site?

Most "find a tradesperson" sites capture your details and sell them on to several contractors who then compete for your job. This directory does the opposite: it publishes the plumbers, drawn from public registers and trade data, and lets you contact one directly. No form, no middleman, no shared enquiry.

What areas of Ireland do you cover?

All 26 counties of the Republic of Ireland, from Dublin and Cork to Donegal, Kerry and Leitrim. Each county has its own directory page with local plumbers, the towns they cover, county-specific cost and grant information, and answers to common local questions.

How do I verify a plumber is RGI-registered?

Ask for their RGI registration number and check it on the official register at rgi.ie, which lets you search by number or by name. A genuine registered gas installer will have no problem giving you the number before the job. Never let anyone carry out gas work who cannot be verified on the register.
