What's the job?
When do you need a plumber?
Plumber Balbriggan 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.
Plumbing jobs around Balbriggan
Balbriggan sits in Fingal, the northern part of County Dublin, and its Eircodes start with K32. The housing runs from older terraces close to the town centre to the big estates built out on every side: Castlemill, Moylaragh, Taylor Hill, Pinewood, Clonard, and the newer Bremore Castle homes up towards the Bremore end of town.
Most calls are the everyday ones: a dripping tap, a toilet that won't stop running, a pump that's started to whine, a radiator upstairs that stays cold. Send the job once with the form and say what's wrong in your own words. The plumber who covers Balbriggan reads it before ringing you, so you don't have to explain it twice.

Questions people ask
How much does a plumber cost in Balbriggan?
None of the rate cards we collected comes from a plumber based in Balbriggan, so we compare the rate cards that Dublin plumbers publish. 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). We added VAT at 13.5% to the rates quoted + VAT. See every published price.
Is there a call-out fee?
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.
Do evenings and weekends cost more?
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 Skerries, Lusk and Balrothery?
Yes. You can send a request from Balrothery, Skerries, Lusk, Naul and Balscadden, and from Gormanston and Stamullen across the Meath border. In Balbriggan itself, that's every estate from Bremore Castle and Castlemill to Taylor Hill and Hampton Woods. We pass it to one plumber who covers that area. See all the areas.
Who does gas and boiler work?
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.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Balbriggan?
Published prices to unblock a drain in normal hours run €80–€250, across four sources. Five of the six prices don't say whether VAT is included. Out of hours costs more: Dylex starts from €170 + VAT (source). Pick "Blocked sink, toilet or drain" in the form.
Are you a plumbing company?
No. Plumber Balbriggan is an introduction service run by Bartlomiej Standa. You tell us the job, and we pass it to one local plumber who covers your area. The plumber gives you the price and does the work, and you deal with them directly. Sending a request is free.
Can I send a job from Gormanston or Stamullen?
Yes. Both are over the border in Co. Meath but close to Balbriggan, so pick the village in the form and we'll pass it to the plumber who covers it.
My shower pressure has dropped. Is that a plumber job?
Usually, yes. It can be a pump on its way out, a blocked shower head or a valve that needs freeing. Pick "Shower, electric shower or pump" in the form and say when it started.
