What are you needing done ?
Not to hijack this thread but I also need a new plumber. Need to put in a new gas boiler/flue. Kildare area. Have tried to engage with one recommended company but am not even getting calls/texts returned. Hard to get plumbers at the moment. They seem to be too busy.
OnlineTradesmen.ie might be worth a try.
It's hit and miss, more miss for me. Asked about getting someone to repaper and paint my bog standard hall-stairs-landings; 3 guys answered, 1 came to give me a quote... for €4.5k, and wouldn't remove the paper below the dado, because it had been painted with gloss (before I bought the house). It was the paper below the dado that I really wanted rid of, because the pattern had been put on crookedly. Oh well. I'll be retiring soon and will probably have to do it myself - should at least have the time to do it!
Yeah, in a market where they have more jobs than time, hard to get someone to take on the nasty ones like that.
FWIW I used tradesmen.ie (similar site) for a painting job a couple of weeks ago, got four responses, four dropped out and quoted. Quotes ranged from €5k to €10k which was a bit crazy, but all seemed good and were interested in the job. So it does work out sometimes anyway!It's hit and miss, more miss for me.
