If the work involves any gas appliance — boilers, gas fires, gas cookers — then yes, your plumber must be Gas Safe registered by law. It is a criminal offence for anyone not on the Gas Safe Register to carry out gas work. For general plumbing tasks like fixing leaks, unblocking drains or replacing taps, Gas Safe registration is not required but is still a useful indicator of professional standards.

Yes, most emergency plumbing services covering Ashbourne operate 365 days a year, including Christmas Day and all bank holidays. You should expect higher rates during bank holidays — typically a 50% surcharge on standard call-out fees. Genuine emergencies like burst pipes and major leaks will always be attended to regardless of the day.

Yes — any reputable plumber will assess the problem and provide a clear quote before beginning work. For emergency call-outs, they will explain the call-out fee upfront and then give a fixed price for the repair once they have diagnosed the issue. Never agree to work without a written or verbal quote, and be cautious of plumbers who refuse to give one.

Yes, leaking radiators are a common plumbing repair. The leak is usually from the valve, the bleed point or a corroded joint. A plumber can typically fix a leaking radiator valve in under an hour for £60 to £120. If the radiator body itself is corroded through, it will need replacing — expect £150 to £350 including the cost of a new radiator.

Turn off your water supply immediately using the stopcock — usually found under the kitchen sink or where the mains pipe enters your property.
