Plumbers in Skien: 10 firms, four of them with a shop and an on-call number
The plumbers in Skien are sorted into three groups here: four firms that have a shop or showroom and state an on-call number on their website, three firms on and near Bølevegen south-east of the centre, and three with an address north of the centre and in the west of town. The page reports what the firms themselves write about services and working hours, says which ones you can only reach by phone, and explains what the municipality asks you and the plumber to do when a water pipe leaks: the cards give the address, the phone number and a short description.
With a shop and an on-call number: Kverndalsgata, Gamle Bjørntvedtveg, Nenset and Porsgrunnsvegen
South-east of the centre: Bølevegen and Gregorius Dagssons gate
North of the centre and in the west: Alexander Kiellands gate, Bergsland and Gautes veg

Which group suits you
This page helps when something leaks outside working hours, when you want to see the fittings in a shop before you order, when the drain is blocked, or when you prefer a plumber based in your part of town.
| If you need | Look for | The group that fits | Check this |
|---|---|---|---|
| Help with a leak in the evening or at the weekend | An on-call number on the firm's website | With a shop and an on-call number | Which hours the on-call service covers, and what a call-out costs |
| To see a basin, shower and taps before you choose | A shop or bathroom showroom | With a shop and an on-call number | The opening hours on the shop's website |
| A blocked drain, or pipes that should be filmed | CCTV inspection and high-pressure flushing in the service list | South-east of the centre | Whether the blockage is in your own pipe or the municipality's |
| A plumber with an address in the north or west of town | The address in the card | North of the centre and in the west | The phone: two of the cards have no website |
A shop with on-call cover, a firm on Bølevegen or a plumber without a website: what sets the ten apart
- Four firms have a shop or showroom and state an on-call number on their website.
- Bølevegen 81: CCTV inspection, high-pressure flushing and core drilling alongside ordinary service.
- Three cards have no website: the phone is the only way in.
The firms' websites were read on 7 October 2026. At Kverndalsgata 6, 450 metres north of Arkaden in the town centre, there is a combined plumber and shop with a bathroom showroom; the firm does bathrooms and wet rooms, service, sprinklers, water and sewerage, excavation and heating, and you can book a site visit. At Gamle Bjørntvedtveg 25 there is a shop and a web shop, and the service list runs from full renovation of bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens to pipe inspection, waterborne heating and heat pumps, air-to-water or with an energy well.
At Nenset one firm has its shop and service department at Leirvollen 1, while the administration and the building and construction department are in Porsgrunn. It works with bathrooms, laundry rooms, service, heat pumps, sprinklers and refurbishment, also in commercial buildings and industry. Furthest south, at Porsgrunnsvegen 304, a plumber tied to a chain has a shop and states all plumbing services in Vestfold and Telemark, maintenance agreements and sprinkler systems.
The firm at Bølevegen 81 writes that it takes small and large jobs for businesses and private customers across Telemark: drawing and design, sanitary and energy systems, sprinklers, full bathroom refurbishment, CCTV inspection of pipes, outdoor water and sewer pipes, high-pressure flushing, sludge suction and core drilling. The website of the firm at Bølevegen 131 would not open that day; the card describes bathrooms and kitchens, new installations and repairs in houses, cabins and commercial buildings.
Four firms have no website of their own to read. The card on Alexander Kiellands gate links to a Facebook page and mentions clearing blocked sewers, kitchens and waterborne heating, with jobs in Skien, Porsgrunn, Bamble and Siljan. The cards at Bergsland, Gautes veg and Gregorius Dagssons gate have an address, a phone number and a general description, so ask the firm itself what it takes on.
More tradespeople are listed under Building services and installation, which has 134 cards, and bathroom shops under Bathroom and plumbing shops. Other towns are under Services and practical matters.
A water leak: what the municipality writes, and what the firms write
- The municipality: contact a plumber, who finds the break and repairs the damage.
- If the leak is between your stopcock and the main, the municipality shuts off the water.
- Four firms state an on-call number, but not which hours it covers.
- Acute incidents outside working hours: the municipality refers to its duty phones.
Skien municipality has a page called Vannlekkasje (water leak), last updated on 21 March 2024 and read on 7 October 2026. It says that you contact a plumber who can locate the break and repair the damage. If the leak is between your stopcock and the connection to the municipal main, it is the municipality that shuts off the water on the main: your plumber contacts the municipality, notifies the subscribers who lose their water, and reports the repair with documentation. The municipality writes that the shut-off costs you nothing.
If the municipality itself discovers a leak on your service pipe, it sends you an order to repair it. Faults on the municipality's own network, such as leaks, brown water, manhole covers and water damage, are reported on the page Varsle om feil (report a fault). For acute incidents outside working hours the municipality refers there to its duty phones, and at the bottom of the page these include Alarmsentralen Telemark on 35 50 87 00.
An on-call number is given on the websites of all four firms with a shop. The firm on Kverndalsgata writes about an on-call plumber for acute cases; the other three only give a separate on-call number next to the main number. None of the four says which hours the service is staffed, or what a call-out costs.
The firm at Bølevegen 81 has no on-call number on its website, but asks you to get in touch about a leak or anything else that needs immediate help; working hours there are stated as 7.30 am to 3.30 pm Monday to Friday. For the other five we found nothing about on-call cover.
Before the frost, and when the shops are open
- Close the stopcock when you are away for a long time.
- Keep at least about 10 degrees indoors.
- Drain and close the outdoor tap before winter.
- The shop at Porsgrunnsvegen 304: weekdays 9 am to 3.30 pm, closed on Saturday.
The first three tips are the municipality's own, from its page on water leaks. It explains that water that freezes expands by about ten per cent, so that the pipe can burst and cause water damage when the ice thaws. The municipality also advises closing vents and windows that let cold draughts reach pipes, and antifreeze in water traps that stand unused.
If you want to drop into a shop, only one states its opening hours: Porsgrunnsvegen 304 has weekdays 9 am to 3.30 pm and closed on Saturday. At Nenset the shop hours on the contact page were labelled summer hours when we read them on 7 October 2026, and the pages of the shops on Kverndalsgata and Gamle Bjørntvedtveg gave no opening hours. If the catalogue card shows a time, the firm's own page is the one that counts.
Questions and answers
Four firms state an on-call number on their website: on Kverndalsgata, on Gamle Bjørntvedtveg, at Nenset and on Porsgrunnsvegen. None of them writes which hours the service covers, so ask when you call.
Contact a plumber, the municipality writes. If the break is between your stopcock and the municipal main, the municipality shuts off the water after the plumber has been in touch.
Four: on Kverndalsgata with a bathroom showroom, on Gamle Bjørntvedtveg, at Leirvollen at Nenset and at Porsgrunnsvegen 304. Only the last one stated opening hours that were valid when we read the websites.
The firm at Bølevegen 81 has CCTV inspection of pipes, high-pressure flushing and sludge suction on its service list, and the firm on Gamle Bjørntvedtveg offers pipe inspection.
By phone. The cards at Bergsland, Gautes veg and Gregorius Dagssons gate have no website, and the card on Alexander Kiellands gate only links to a Facebook page.

The firms on this page are chosen by the NorgeGuide editors. Payment affects neither the selection nor the order. The order within the groups is free and says nothing about quality: the editors have not tried the firms.
