Wicklow has a strong residential base driven by its position on Dublin's southern commuter corridor, with Bray, Greystones, Wicklow town, Arklow and Rathnew all having good natural gas network coverage. The county's mix of coastal towns, rural villages and the Wicklow Mountains means a varied mix of property types and fuel sources. Urban Wicklow has strong demand for natural gas boiler and appliance work, while inland and upland areas rely more on oil and solid fuel.

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 hire
What to Check First
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. Wicklow 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.
