What a call-out covers

  • Getting to you, and usually the first half hour to an hour on site. Ask which, because it decides how much the first visit costs.
  • Some plumbers charge no call-out and bill from the first hour instead. On a short job that can work out the same.

How to keep the bill down

  • Ring in working hours if it can wait. Turn the water off and it usually can.
  • Have the make and model of the boiler, shower or pump ready, so the right part comes in the van.
  • Group small jobs into one visit: a dripping tap, a running toilet and a stiff valve are one call-out, not three.

Ask before anyone drives out

  • Is it a call-out plus an hourly rate, or a fixed price for the job?
  • Is VAT included? Most plumbers include it. Some add 13.5% on top.
  • What happens if it takes longer, or needs a part they don't carry?

Yes. A weekday call-out is up to €150. Evenings and weekends are €100–€250.
