What To Do Before Our Emergency Plumber Arrives
If you have a plumbing emergency, the first few minutes are important.
1. Turn Off Your Water Supply
Find your stopcock and turn it off immediately. In many Dublin homes, it is located:
- Under the kitchen sink
- Near the water meter
- In the utility room
- Near the attic tank
This helps stop flooding and prevents more damage.
2. Turn Off Electricity If Water Is Near Sockets
If water is leaking near electrical fittings, turn off the mains electricity from the fuse board if it is safe to do so.
Never touch wet electrical surfaces.
3. If You Smell Gas, Leave The Property
If you suspect a gas leak:
- Open doors and windows
- Do not touch switches
- Leave the property
- Call Gas Networks Ireland immediately
After that, call us. Our RGI-certified engineers can attend and make the system safe.
4. Call Our Emergency Plumbing Team
- (086) 374-8000
We can guide you over the phone while our plumber is on the way.

- isolate the leak
- stop the flooding
- repair or replace damaged pipework

We aim to complete most burst pipe repairs during the first visit.

Are your emergency plumbers RGI registered?
Our plumbing team is experienced and fully insured. Gas-related work is carried out by Registered Gas Installers (RGIs), as required in Ireland. RGI registration applies to regulated gas work, not every general plumbing repair.

What should I do if my boiler stops working?
First, check whether your electricity supply and heating controls are working, provided it is safe to do so. If the boiler still has no heating or hot water, contact our team for an inspection.
