About the Owner
Dara Nolan
I'm Dara Nolan, a fully RGI-registered plumber (RGI No. 000000) with over 11 years of hands-on experience in plumbing and heating across Waterford and surrounding areas. I started my apprenticeship at 17, earned my City & Guilds qualifications, and spent years working with some of the biggest plumbing and heating firms in Waterford before going out on my own. From emergency burst pipe repairs at midnight to full bathroom renovations and central heating installations, I've seen — and fixed — it all. Every job, big or small, gets the same level of care and attention to detail.
I founded Riverside Plumbing & Heating in 2015 with a simple idea: give homeowners honest, fixed-price quotes before any work begins — and never charge a call-out fee. Since then, I've completed over 900 projects across Waterford, including a full heating retrofit on a 1970s house in Tramore and an air-to-water heat pump swap in Dunmore East. As a fully insured and RGI-certified installer, I'm qualified to work on all gas appliances, oil boilers (critical for rural homes across Waterford), and boilers from brands like Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, and Grant. I'm also experienced in heat pump installations eligible for SEAI grants and fully compliant with all CRU (Commission for Regulation of Utilities) standards.
I complete 20+ hours of continuing professional development each year to stay current with the latest heating technologies, energy efficiency regulations, and safety standards. Last year alone, I helped 40 homeowners access SEAI grants worth over €260,000 for heat pump and boiler upgrades.
That commitment to transparent pricing and quality workmanship has earned Riverside Plumbing & Heating over 38 five-star Google reviews and a reputation as one of the most trusted plumbers in Waterford. Whether you need an emergency callout in Waterford, an oil boiler service in Waterford city, or underfloor heating installed in a new build, Riverside Plumbing & Heating delivers reliable, guaranteed work at a fair price — every time.

Emergency Burst Pipe — Waterford city
A homeowner called at 11:30pm on a freezing January night after a pipe burst in their attic, flooding the upstairs bathroom. We arrived within 40 minutes, isolated the water supply, repaired the burst section of copper pipe, and dried out the affected area. The homeowner was back to normal by 1:30am. Total cost: exactly as quoted over the phone.
Boiler Replacement & SEAI Grant — Tramore
A family's 18-year-old boiler was beyond repair. We removed the old unit, installed a new A-rated Worcester Bosch condensing boiler, upgraded the flue, and balanced all radiators. We handled the full SEAI grant application, saving the homeowner over €6,500 on the total cost. Their heating bills dropped noticeably from the first month.
Full Bathroom Renovation — Waterford
A complete strip-out and rebuild of a dated family bathroom. We installed a walk-in shower with thermostatic valve, wall-hung toilet, vanity unit, heated towel rail, and full floor-to-ceiling tiling. We turned up on time every day, kept the house tidy, and came in at the exact price quoted. The family were delighted with the transformation.
