Johnston Caravans Ltd holds Registered Gas Installer (RGI) certification (C0696), the legal requirement in Ireland for any notifiable gas or boiler work, so they can self-certify and issue a completion certificate on gas jobs. Listings on plumbersinireland.ie are drawn from the RGI and CIRI registers and industry databases covering all 26 counties.
Donegal is Ireland's most northwesterly county and one of the most rural, with a dispersed population spread across a dramatic and varied landscape. Natural gas network coverage is extremely limited in Donegal, with the vast majority of the county relying on oil and LPG for heating. The pool of RGI registered gas installers in Donegal is small relative to the county's size, and installers here tend to specialise in LPG work as natural gas connections are uncommon.

Local area
Serving Donegal & Co. Donegal
Natural gas coverage in Donegal is very limited. Oil and LPG are the dominant heating fuels across the county, making LPG certification particularly important for gas installers operating in Donegal.
Plumbers based in Co. Donegal typically serve customers across Donegal, covering Letterkenny, Donegal town, Bundoran, Buncrana, Ballybofey, Dungloe, Killybegs and Carndonagh. For larger jobs such as a full heating installation or bathroom renovation, it is worth getting two or three written quotes before committing. For gas boiler work specifically, always confirm the installer is RGI registered, as this is a legal requirement in Ireland.
Before you book
Choosing a Plumber in Donegal
Before booking any plumber, there are a few things worth confirming regardless of who you use:
- Ask about qualifications for the specific job. Gas work requires RGI registration. General plumbing benefits from CIRI registration, though this is voluntary rather than a legal requirement.
- Get a written quote that breaks down labour, parts and VAT separately. Call-out rates in Co. Donegal typically range from €60 to €120 per hour, boiler replacement from €1,500 to €3,500 depending on type and access, and a full bathroom installation from €4,000 to €12,000 depending on spec.
- Confirm public liability insurance of at least €2.6 million, and ask for the certificate before work begins.
- Request a Certificate of Completion for any gas work. RGI installers are legally required to provide this, and it matters for insurance and property sales.
Gas work carried out by an unregistered person is illegal in Ireland and voids most home insurance policies. Always confirm RGI registration before any boiler or gas work goes ahead.
