Wicklow has a strong residential base driven by its position on Dublin's southern commuter corridor, with Bray, Greystones, Wicklow town, Arklow and Rathnew all having good natural gas network coverage. The county's mix of coastal towns, rural villages and the Wicklow Mountains means a varied mix of property types and fuel sources. Urban Wicklow has strong demand for natural gas boiler and appliance work, while inland and upland areas rely more on oil and solid fuel.

Hiring a plumber in Wicklow: what to check
Before booking any plumber in Wicklow, there are a few things every homeowner should confirm regardless of which tradesperson they use:
- Ask about qualifications for the specific job. Gas work requires RGI registration. General plumbing and bathroom work benefits from CIRI registration (ciri.ie), though this is voluntary rather than a legal requirement.
- Get a written quote that breaks down labour, parts and VAT separately. Plumber call-out rates in Wicklow typically range from €60 to €120 per hour. Boiler replacement costs vary from €1,500 to €3,500 depending on boiler type, brand and access. Full bathroom installation runs from €4,000 to €12,000 depending on spec.
- Confirm public liability insurance. Any plumber working in your home should hold current public liability insurance of at least €2.6 million. Ask for the certificate before work begins.
- Request a Certificate of Completion for any gas work. RGI installers are legally required to provide this after notifiable gas work. It is essential for insurance, mortgage drawdowns and property sales.
Gas work carried out by an unregistered person is illegal in Ireland, voids most home insurance policies and creates serious problems when selling the property. Always use an RGI registered installer for boiler and gas work. Find RGI registered installers in Wicklow →
