Plumbers in Ranelagh: Trusted Local Plumbing for Dublin 6
Updated 11 June 2026 · DublinPlumbing
Ranelagh's streets look picture-perfect — rows of Victorian redbricks off Dunville Avenue, Sandford Road and Charleston Road, the village strip between the Triangle and Ranelagh Gardens, the Luas gliding through Beechwood. Behind those period façades, though, sits some of the oldest working pipework in Dublin, and it keeps local plumbers very busy.
Our Dublin plumbing team handles everything Ranelagh throws at us: midnight bursts, tired boilers, and the bathroom and kitchen upgrades that come with every renovation on the road.
Period homes, period plumbing
Most houses between Ranelagh village and Mount Pleasant Square are well over a century old. Original supply pipes were lead or iron, and while most have been part-replaced over the years, the joins between old and new are exactly where leaks like to start — under suspended timber floors, behind original skirting, or in the return where the bathroom was added decades ago.
Typical call-outs here: damp patches appearing on ground-floor ceilings, radiators that never quite heat after years of extensions to the system, gurgling or slow drains from old clay pipes in long back gardens, and cold-water tanks in attics that should have been decommissioned years ago.
Renovations, extensions and new bathrooms
Ranelagh is renovation country. Kitchen-diner extensions, attic conversions and en-suites all mean moving water around a period house — and doing it without tearing up more original fabric than necessary.
We plumb new bathrooms and kitchens, relocate boilers, convert gravity-fed systems to modern pressurised ones so the shower upstairs actually has pressure, and replace old cylinders with high-recovery units. Because our engineers are RGI-registered, gas boiler work is done legally and certified — something your insurer (and any future buyer's surveyor) will ask about.
Emergency plumber in Ranelagh, day or night
When water is coming through a light fitting, you need someone already nearby. We're in and around Dublin 6 every day, so emergency call-outs to Ranelagh — Elmwood Avenue, Oakley Road, Moyne Road, Cherryfield Avenue and everywhere between the canal and Milltown — are usually at the door within the hour.
Turn off the stopcock (usually under the kitchen sink or at the front boundary), keep water away from electrics, and call 01 524 0871. If you smell gas, step outside and ring Gas Networks Ireland on 1800 20 50 50 first — then us for the repair.
