What to check before you hire

Before you hire a plumber in Dublin

  • RGI registration: Check the plumber is registered with the Register of Gas Installers of Ireland (RGI) if gas work is involved. Only RGI-registered installers can legally work on gas appliances in Ireland.
  • Insurance: Ask for proof of public liability insurance. A minimum of €6.5 million is standard for residential work.
  • Written quotes: Always get a written, itemised quote before work begins. Avoid plumbers who only give verbal estimates.
  • Warranty: Confirm what guarantee is offered on parts and labour. Most reputable plumbers offer 12 months minimum.
  • Water certification: For new installations, ask if they provide a water compliance certificate — required by Uisce Éireann for new connections.
