Plumbers provide a variety of services mainly related to heating systems, water supply and drainage.  Their services include the installation and/or maintenance of heating systems, drainage, water supplies, domestic appliances, boilers and radiators.  They locate faults in systems & equipment and repair the issues.  They attach weatherproof materials to walls, roofs and chimneys.  They answer emergency calls to repair leaks and other problems.

Lately we did our 2022 survey of plumbing charges with some plumbers on our website.  We asked them to let us know what a typical call out fee would be and the price per hour thereafter.  We also asked if they had any tips for customers on having a good experience with the tradesman and their job.  Here are some of the replies below:-

Of course you can also just get someone else to do the garden for you:-)  A while ago we carried out a survey with some garden contractors on Tradesmen.ie.   We asked them how much it would cost ex vat to design and implement a low maintenance garden for an average home.
