  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,216 ✭✭✭✭listermint

    If its essential services just call the Gardai and they will contact likely Hospital plumber or someone like that.

    again its not the plumber its the suppliers for parts for plumbers

    Would expect plumbers merchants to fall into :

    "Hardware stores, builders’ merchants and stores that provide hardware products necessary for home and business maintenance, sanitation and farm equipment, supplies and tools essential for gardening/farming/agriculture. "

    If so, then not closed by decree

    OP, please remember that this is a Sunday The Weekend :D

    Days have no meaning when you're stuck at home :D:D

    Is B&Q, Homebase or Woodies still open?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,457 ✭✭✭Gerry T


    Are they all closed, thought some were open for emergencies. I looked up B&Q and I think their open tomorrow, but that info could be out of date after last night. Plus they might not have what your after.

    Most plumbing trade counters will only deal with the trade during the current emergency. They are an essential business as listed by the government so they were open this morning and will be open again on Monday. My suppliers, Heat merchants stopped dealing with the public two weeks ago. All trade customers were assigned numbers. We email in the order & collect it when ready. Thi cuts down on the length of time spent in the shop and cuts down on the risk of spreading the virus

    Yeah thanks for that, i thought so myself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,688 ✭✭✭✭mickdw


    If its for essential service, and you cannot get hold of what you need, ring local store owner / manager and they will get you into store. Ring gardai if needed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,189 ✭✭✭✭Sleeper12


    Yeah thanks for that, i thought so myself


    I know you don't want to engage a plumber but most have fully stocked vans and might be your only option.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,099 ✭✭✭spankmemunkey


    no i have a plumber just he needs certain specific size copper and off sizes connections etc


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    Then the plumber needs to take the initiative to buy the items needed, he must have every phone number.

    Just received an email from Heat Merchants. They are forbidden from opening under the emergency announcement. They will deliver goods to registered trade customer. They will need an account number to place an order. All building supplies & trade counters are closed for two weeks. I suggest getting a different plumber in that can source the parts or has them in his van because its looking like you won't be able to get them yourself. Not only are screwfix branches closed but their Irish website is closed for the next 2 weeks

    bollocks anyway, i ll probably need some stuff outta morris over the next couple of weeks, understandable though

    I think macarthys in tramore are open for deliverys.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,099 ✭✭✭spankmemunkey

    No I was on nights

    As previous posters said, if you ring trade counters they will bring stuff to you, I got through to morris's and PJM as i have an account with them.

    I'm responsible for a building if there's plumbing electrical or any issue final call is with me and when i had a plumber saying he couldn't get gear i was like hold on im looking into this. I'ts sorted now anyway.

    I cant really go into exact details but it was very important

    Jesus yeah one big joke, ha ha, Man wants to find out if plumber suppliers are open or not so as he can get a certain job done, that's way beyond the realms of reality.
