Need a Plumber In Roscommon?
If something's gone wrong at your property, what you want to know first is whether the person coming out has worked on a place like yours before. We've been doing this across Roscommon for 27+ years, and the honest answer here is nearly always yes. The area changes every few streets. The older properties were built to a standard nobody uses anymore, and they need someone who knows that before they start rather than after. The estates that went up in the sixties and seventies have their own set of problems, all of them now old enough to be showing. And the newer builds out the edges are usually sound — right up until they're not, and then it's almost always down to how the place has been used rather than how it was built. Three different causes, three different jobs, and knowing which one you're standing in front of before you start is what keeps a small job from turning into a big one. That covers air-to-water heat pumps and gas boiler installations on the everyday calls, heat recovery ventilation when it can't wait, and large cold water booster storage tanks where the job needs doing properly rather than just patching. general plumbing as well — worth asking about, because the cause often isn't where the symptom is. We're out through Roscommon Town and Strokestown most weeks too. Ring us and you'll get a real person, a straight answer, and someone who turns up when they said they would.

Heating One-Off Houses, Farmhouses and Town Homes Across County Roscommon
County Roscommon is mostly rural, and a heating contractor working here spends most days in one-off houses, farmhouses and bungalows on their own sites rather than in big estates. That's the housing we know best. Drive any road between Strokestown, Castlerea and Boyle and you'll pass houses from every decade: old stone farmhouses, 1970s and 1980s bungalows, and new homes built on family land. Each one needs a different approach. Many of the older bungalows still run an oil boiler that has been working for fifteen or twenty years, often out in a boiler house at the back. When it starts to cut out, smoke or burn more oil than it should, a boiler replacement is usually the most sensible spend. We look at the oil line, the flue, the radiators and the controls at the same time, because a new boiler on a tired system won't warm a cold room. The new houses going up around the county are a different story. Most are built to modern energy rules, and an air-to-water heat pump is the usual way to heat them. Older homes can take a heat pump too, but often only after the insulation and windows have been brought up to standard. The larger towns have their own mix too. Roscommon Town, Boyle, Castlerea and Ballaghaderreen all have older two-storey houses near the centre and newer estates on the edges. Ballaghaderreen grew by about a third between 2016 and 2022, so there are plenty of newer homes there. Across the county, the big thing to know is that none of the main Roscommon towns are on the natural gas network. Homes depend on oil, LPG or solid fuel (?), so every job starts with the fuel you have now and where you might go next. We'll look at the house as it really is, and tell you honestly which option makes sense for it.
Working the Whole County, From the Shannon at Tarmonbarry to Boyle Abbey
County Roscommon runs from the Shannon in the east right across to the Mayo border in the west, and as heating contractors we cover all of it from our base in Ballytoohey. We're just outside Tarmonbarry village, a short drive from Termonbarry Lock and weir on the Shannon Blueway, on the Roscommon side of the river. That spot puts us in the north-east corner of the county, with Longford town just over the bridge. From there, the roads open out westward. The new N5 now bypasses Strokestown, Tulsk and Frenchpark, which makes the run out to Castlerea and Ballaghaderreen quicker than it used to be. The N61 links Boyle in the north to Roscommon Town and on down to Athlone. Each part of the county has its own landmarks we pass on the way to work. There's Strokestown Park and the National Famine Museum, close to home for us. There's Roscommon Castle beside Loughnaneane Park in the county town, Boyle Abbey in the north, and Clonalis House outside Castlerea in the west. Knowing the county this way matters for heating work. The east side along the Shannon and Lough Ree has low, wet ground in places. The west and north have more hills, older farmhouses and long lanes. When we plan where an outdoor heat pump unit, an oil tank or a water tank will go, the ground around the house counts as much as the house itself. A site near the lake might need the unit raised clear of standing water. A hillside farmhouse might need pipework protected from wind and frost. Knowing the roads also means we turn up when we say we will, and we don't get lost looking for the third lane past the church. It also means we can tell, before we set out, which jobs will need extra time for a long pipe run out to a shed or a yard.
Long Damp Winters, Hard Water and No Mains Gas: What Roscommon Homes Deal With
County Roscommon homes call a heating contractor for the same few problems year after year, and most of them come from where the county sits. The first is the weather. Winters in the west midlands are long and damp, with mild weeks broken by sharp frosts. That's when an old oil boiler is most likely to give up, and when pipes and condensate drains on outside walls are most likely to freeze. The second is the land. Large parts of the county sit on limestone, and harder water can leave scale inside boilers, cylinders and heat exchangers over time (?). Scale makes a system work harder for the same heat. The third problem is fuel. With no natural gas in the main Roscommon towns, most homes rely on oil, and the price swings every winter. That's why so many people in the county now ask us about air-to-water heat pumps. A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and runs on electricity, even through a cold January. It works best in a house that holds its heat, and best of all with underfloor heating, because the floor gives out a gentle, even warmth at a low water temperature. But we won't fit one to a draughty house and leave you with high bills. We look at insulation, windows and room sizes first, and we size the heat pump for the coldest days, not the average ones. The last common problem is water pressure. Many rural homes and farms are on group schemes or long mains runs, and pressure can drop at busy times. For farms and businesses, a cold water booster and storage tank system keeps water flowing steadily to the house, the yard and the sheds. Whatever the problem, we explain the options and the costs, and you make the call.
