Gas leak investigation: what the job involves
Finding and repairing a gas escape on pipework or appliances inside the home, after the emergency service has made it safe. If you smell gas now, call Gas Networks Ireland on 1800 20 50 50 first.
How long it takes: A leak at an accessible joint is often found and fixed within a couple of hours; leaks in buried or hidden pipework can take a day and may need a new pipe run.

What gas leak investigation in Eyrecourt costs, and why
What jobs on Talqero came to
Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.
What affects the price
- Where the leak is: an accessible joint, inside a wall or under a floor
- Repair or a new section of pipe run
- Emergency or out-of-hours attendance
- Number of appliances to relight and check
- VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.
County Galway: what the figures say
54.1% of homes in County Galway are heated by oil — above the national figure of 38.9%, the 14th highest of the 26 counties.
Where an oil boiler is replaced by a heat pump, SEAI’s heat pump grant includes €2,000 for removing it; until then, an oil boiler needs its annual service like any other.

Rules and grants for gas leak investigation
The rules in Ireland
Only a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) may install, replace, repair or service a gas appliance or gas pipework, and they must leave you a Declaration of Conformance.
- The rule comes from the Energy (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2006 and is run for the Commission for Regulation of Utilities by Safe Energy Ireland.
- For every gas job the RGI must complete a Declaration of Conformance certificate and give you the original copy straight away; it confirms the work meets I.S. 813.
- Every RGI carries a photo ID card numbered R followed by four digits, renewed each year. Check it on the register at rgi.ie.
- Oil boilers are not covered by a statutory register; ask for experience with your make of boiler and a combustion analysis printout after a service.
What to ask before you choose
- For gas: may I see your RGI card, and will you leave a Declaration of Conformance?
- What exactly does the service include — combustion analysis, nozzle, filters?
- Is the part in stock, and what is the warranty on it?
- For a heat pump: are you on SEAI’s contractor register, and who does the technical assessment?
- Is VAT included?
What the work usually involves
- Annual oil and gas boiler services
- Power flushing a sludged heating system
- New radiators, valves and thermostatic controls
- Diagnosing a boiler that will not fire
What to put in your task
- The fuel: oil, natural gas or LPG
- The make and rough age of the boiler, from its label
- What is happening — no heat, no hot water, noise, a leak
- When the boiler was last serviced, if you know
