What's the job?
When do you need a plumber?
Plumber Ashbourne is an introduction service, not a plumbing company. One local plumber gets your request and deals with you directly. Gas and boiler work is only done by RGI-registered installers.
A plumber for Ashbourne homes
Ashbourne is in County Meath, right on the Dublin border, and grew out of the old townland of Killegland, which still gives its name to Killegland Street and Killegland Square. Its Eircodes start with A84. Much of the town is estates built in the last few decades, from Archerstown Demesne and Baltrasna to Bourne View, Rath Lodge, Churchfields and Milltown.
Newer houses bring their own jobs: pressure pumps that start cutting out, shower trays that leak at the seal, radiators that need bleeding or balancing every winter. Tell us what's happening in the form, in your own words. The plumber who covers Ashbourne sees it before ringing, and talks you through the price before anything starts.

Across four plumbers' own rate cards, a weekday hour costs €95–€148 with VAT. As published, that's €95 incl. VAT (Dublin Plumber 24hrs) to €130 + VAT (Dublin Plumbing Services).

Two of the five rate cards we found charge no call-out fee. The other three charge €95–€159 with VAT. Dublin Plumber 24hrs says: "If you approve the quoted work, we deduct the €95 from your final bill" (source). Ask before anyone comes out.

Yes. On the rate cards we found, an emergency or out-of-hours call-out costs €136–€284 with VAT (three plumbers), and evening, weekend and night labour runs €115–€260 an hour with VAT (two plumbers). Ask for the out-of-hours rate before the plumber sets off.
Do you cover Ratoath and Donaghmore?
Yes. You can send a request from Ratoath, Donaghmore, Kilbride and Rathfeigh, and from Garristown on the Dublin side. In Ashbourne itself, that's every estate from Killegland and Archerstown Demesne to Baltrasna and Rath Lodge. We pass it to one plumber who covers that area. See all the areas.

Only a Registered Gas Installer (RGI). By law, nobody else can do gas work in your home (CRU). If your job involves the gas boiler or a gas pipe, the person who comes out must be RGI-registered. You can check anyone on rgi.ie.
How soon will a plumber ring me?
We don't promise a time. We pass your request to one local plumber who covers your area, and the plumber contacts you to talk through the job and when they can come. If it's urgent, pick "Today" in the form so they know. If water is leaking, turn it off at the stopcock while you wait.

My pressure pump keeps cutting in and out. Who do I ask?
