Inside Dublin 8

Built for Dublin 8 Houses

Plenty of Dublin 8 lives below street level. The classic house here has rooms under the hall floor, and that is where leaks collect, drains back up and damp shows long before anyone finds the cause.

Cortech covers Dublin 8 around the clock, RGI registered and fully insured, with a five-star rating on Google. Tenants, owners and landlords get the same team and the same fixed price.

Most Common Faults

Catch Faults Before They Flood

Six jobs account for most of our Dublin 8 call-outs. Tell us which one sounds like yours and we will tell you how urgent it really is.

Leaks Stopped Same Visit

We find it, stop it and repair the pipework.

Heating Back On

Combi, system and oil boiler faults diagnosed and fixed.

Gas Made Safe First

RGI-registered leak detection, then the repair.

Drains Running Again

Blockages cleared and the cause checked properly.

Taps and Bathrooms Sorted

Drips, pressure problems and full bathroom plumbing.

Landlords Kept Compliant

Annex E checks and the certificate you must hold.

Describe what you are seeing and we will tell you whether it needs someone tonight or next week.

Four Kinds of Job

Four Dublin 8 Property Types

Four property types cover most of Dublin 8. Each has its own weak points, and we work on all four every week across the Liberties, Kilmainham and Inchicore.

Access decides a lot here. Narrow streets, shared halls and rooms below ground mean getting to the pipe takes longer than the repair, so we price the whole job rather than the last ten minutes.

Liberties and Portobello Basements

Rooms below street level with drainage that needs watching.

Rialto and Dolphin's Barn Flats

Split houses where one fault reaches several tenants.

Inchicore Railway Terraces

Small 1840s homes still on their original pipe runs.

New Thomas Street Apartments

Pressurised systems needing the correct parts and pressure.

Massive thank you to Ben from Cortech who came for an emergency call out to find my wedding ring. Didn’t need any plumbing work thankfully as he found it in about 10 seconds by figuring out what had happened - a very logical approach. Left me feeling silly, but very grateful. Thanks so much!

I had a shower unit locked open with water flowing for a couple of hours and needed a call out. Found Cortech on Google and rang them about 9.30 am on a Friday morning. The service man, a really helpful guy called Ben was here in 40 mins and sorted the problem immediately. He also helped me find a company who had a replacement unit and parts. From my initial call, to job completed ( including help with finding replacement unit ) took 45 mins. The speed and efficiency of the service, plus the really pleasant manner in which I was dealt with was a breath of fresh air. I would highly recommend Cortech Plumbing.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who pays for plumbing repairs in a rented flat?

Landlords cover necessary repairs and must keep a rental to the minimum standards, which include pipes in good condition. Tenants cover damage they cause. Across Dublin a call-out typically runs €60 to €100, with hourly rates of roughly €70 to €100 after that and out-of-hours at 1.5 to 2 times standard. Those are market figures rather than a Cortech quote. Call (01) 963 6090 for a fixed price.
Drain smells below street level usually point to a dried-out or damaged trap, a cracked underground pipe or a blocked gully outside, and they show in a basement first because that is where the air settles. Running every tap and the shower for a minute refills dry traps and clears the mildest cases. If the smell comes back, call (01) 963 6090 and we will trace where it is coming from.
Yes. Plenty of Dublin 8 houses are divided into flats and we work in them regularly, which means coordinating access with tenants and working out which run serves which unit before anything is opened up. One visit done properly beats three visits guessing. Call (01) 963 6090 and tell us how the house is laid out.
Once a year is standard practice, though the Residential Tenancies Board does not publish a fixed frequency. What the minimum standards do require is that gas installations and pipes are kept in good repair, and that sits with the landlord. Cortech carries out Annex E gas safety inspections across Dublin 8 and issues the certificate afterwards. Call (01) 963 6090 to arrange one.
Older drains back up because the runs are narrow, often clay or cast iron, and have had decades of grease, roots and building debris through them. In a house split into flats that same run takes several kitchens and bathrooms, so it fills far faster than it was ever built for. Call (01) 963 6090 and we will clear it and tell you what caused it.
Repair makes sense while the boiler is reliable, parts are still available and the fault is one part. Replacement starts to win once breakdowns repeat, efficiency has dropped and repair bills stack up against the price of a new unit. Cortech gives you the honest answer after looking at it, with a fixed price either way. Call (01) 963 6090
