Galway blends a fast-growing university city with the wild expanse of Connemara and the fertile plains of the east. Housing spans compact city apartments, commuter estates in Oranmore and one-off homes across the Gaeltacht.
Local demand: The city's student and tech population fuels renovation and rental upgrades, while Connemara's exposed builds need serious roofing, rendering and heating work.

What Galway homeowners hire plumbers for
Plumbers handle everything that moves water through your home — from a dripping tap or blocked drain to a full bathroom install or central-heating upgrade. A good plumber saves you from the slow, expensive damage that hidden leaks and poor workmanship cause down the line. For anything involving gas or oil-fired heating, you'll need a registered installer, so it's worth confirming credentials before work starts.
- Fixing leaks, burst pipes and dripping taps
- Clearing blocked drains and toilets
- Installing or replacing bathrooms and en-suites
- Fitting dishwashers, washing machines and outside taps
- Replacing hot-water cylinders and immersions
- Power-flushing and upgrading radiators
- Installing water tanks, pumps and softeners

- OFTECThe standard for oil-fired boiler and heating work.
- Public liability insuranceProtects your home if something goes wrong — every Hero Verified plumber holds min. €2.6m cover.
