Services and prices

Plumbing and heating, done properly

Clear starting prices so you know where you stand. Every job gets a fixed written quote before we lift a tool.

  • Heat pump installs

    Air to water heat pumps sized properly for your home, fitted neatly and set up so you actually see the savings on your bills.

  • Bathroom fitting

    Fixed price

    Full bathroom and ensuite refits, from the first rip out to the last bead of silicone. One team and one fixed price.

  • Leaks and burst pipes

    Same day

    Dripping, hissing or coming through the ceiling. We find the leak fast and fix it with as little mess as possible.

  • Radiators and power flushing

    Cold spots, noisy pipes or radiators that never get properly hot. A power flush clears the sludge, or we fit new radiators.

    Done in a day

    Cylinder repairs, immersion problems and full replacements, usually finished in a day so you're not left without hot water.

About us

A family business. You deal with us, not a call centre.

I'm Declan Mulhare. I've been plumbing around Portlaoise for over 15 years, and these days my son Cian works with me as an apprentice.

When you ring, you get me. I'll come out, have a proper look and give you a fixed price in writing. The two of us who quote the job are the two who do it, and we never hand it off to anyone else.

Most of our work comes from people telling their neighbours about us, so we treat every house like our own: dust sheets down, shoes covered and everything left clean.

  • ★★★★★

    Boiler gave up on a freezing Sunday night. Declan rang me back within ten minutes and had the heat back on by lunchtime Monday. Fair price too.

    Siobhan K.Mountmellick
  • ★★★★★

    Full bathroom refit. Tidy, on time every morning, and the final bill was exactly what we were quoted. Couldn't recommend them more.

    Martin D.Portlaoise
  • ★★★★★

    Leak under the kitchen floor that two others couldn't find. Found it within the hour and barely lifted a tile. Sound lads.

    Aoife M.Portarlington
  • ★★★★★

    Got a power flush and three new radiators. The house is properly warm for the first time since we moved in.

    Tom B.Stradbally
  • ★★★★★

    Rang on the Tuesday, had a quote on the Wednesday and the job was done the week after. Simple as that, and rare enough these days.

    Gerry F.Abbeyleix
  • ★★★★☆

    Had to wait a couple of weeks as they were booked up, but the new cylinder went in in one day and the job is spot on.

FAQ

Questions we get asked a lot

Anything else, just ring or send us a WhatsApp.

Do you charge for quotes?

No. Quotes are free with no obligation anywhere in our area. For bigger jobs like bathrooms, boiler swaps or heat pumps we call out, measure up and send you a written price within a couple of days.

How fast can you come out?

For emergencies like a burst pipe or no heat, we're usually with you the same day in Portlaoise and the nearby towns. Other jobs are normally booked in within a week or two, and we give you a date when we quote.

Do you work weekends?

We work Saturday mornings for booked jobs. On Sundays we take emergency calls only, and we always tell you the callout cost before we set off.

How can I pay?

Card, bank transfer or cash, whatever suits you. For bigger jobs we take a deposit to order materials, and the balance when you're happy with the finished work.

Do you take on small jobs?

Yes. A dripping tap, a toilet that won't stop running or a radiator that won't heat up. No job is too small, and small jobs are often done the same week.

Which boilers do you service?

We service and repair most makes of oil boiler and look after heat pump systems too. A yearly service keeps your boiler running efficiently and helps it last longer.
