Where can you find an emergency 24-hour plumber in Oslo?
Plumbers on call around the clock in Oslo and what to ask first.
Short answer
Plumbing firms such as Rørlegger Sentralen and Rørleggervakta run a 24-hour emergency service in Oslo, with plumbers available every day of the year. Rørlegger Sentralen's emergency line is 23 03 54 00 and Rørleggervakta's is 23 12 65 50. Evening and weekend jobs cost more, so ask for an indicative price first.
Why
- Rørlegger Sentralen, a master firm in Lundliveien 11 in Oslo, says it runs a 24/7 plumbing service in all of Oslo and the wider Oslo area for urgent problems such as leaks and blocked pipes.
- Rørleggervakta says it is open around the clock, every day, all year, and serves Oslo, Bærum, Asker, Follo, Drammen and Lørenskog.
- Mesterbrevnemnda's register can be searched for masters and master firms, so you can check whether a plumbing firm has a master craftsman.
Details
Rørlegger Sentralen says evening and weekend jobs have higher rates and that it gives an indicative price before work starts, with the final cost depending on the work done. Rørleggervakta says its billed time includes travel to and from the customer, and that it has fixed prices for many jobs.

Save the number of a 24-hour plumber in your phone before you need it, and ask what the call-out and travel time will cost before the plumber sets off.
