Pricing guide

Cost is driven mainly by the size and complexity of the item and the labour required per visit. Simple items are typically less involved than large or very complex systems that may need two people, specialist fixings or staged visits; work outside normal hours is usually charged at a higher rate (often 1.5–2.0x).

  • Item size and weight

    Large or heavy items often require multiple installers or extra handling, which increases labour and time.

  • Assembly complexity

    Multi-component systems, many accessories or special sequencing generally add significant time and may need staged visits.

  • Whether contractor supplies parts

    Customer-supplied boxed items are assumed; if the handyman sources fixings or missing parts, materials allowances or adjustments usually apply.

  • Access and parking conditions

    Restricted access, tight spaces or poor parking typically lengthen the job and can require extra labour or equipment.

  • Timing and after-hours work

    Work outside standard hours is usually charged at a higher rate, often around 1.5–2.0x the usual rate.

Frequently asked questions

How long will my flatpack take to assemble?
Most standard single-piece items are typically completed in a single visit. Large, awkward or very complex assemblies usually take longer and may require staged visits or extra labour.
Do handymen need to be licensed?
Handyman work is generally unlicensed, but any work involving specialised trades such as electrical, gas or plumbing usually requires a licensed tradesperson. If those services are needed, the job is often referred or quoted with compliance-related adjustments.
Do I need to provide tools or parts?
You are usually expected to supply the boxed item and its original parts and fittings. If you want the handyman to source additional fixings or replace missing parts, that is often possible and is typically handled via materials allowances or adjustments.
What details should I include when requesting a quote?
Mention the number and type of items, whether any are large or need two-person lifts, whether parts are included, and any access or parking constraints. These details usually help the handyman estimate required labour, equipment and whether staged visits or specialist fixings may be needed.
Is the SureQuote estimate a quote, and why can a tradie's quote be different?
No. Your estimate is a guide price for a typical job that matches your answers. A tradie prices your actual job in their quote, once they've seen things like access, condition, materials and the full scope. Read the full answer
What happens after I submit my job, and how many tradies will contact me?
We email you your estimate and a link to your job. Up to 3 local tradies can take it and contact you to quote; only they get your name, phone and email, and you choose who to hire, if anyone. Read the full answer
Is it free to get quotes, and does the tradie's fee raise my price?
Yes, getting quotes is free and you don't have to hire anyone. Tradies pay us a capped fee to take your job, and we set it before they quote, so nothing is added to your quote. Read the full answer
Can I add photos to my job?
Yes. Add up to 10 photos in the chat after you give your contact details, or later from the job in Hire, and tradies see them before they take the job. Read the full answer
Do I have to hire one of the tradies?
No. Getting quotes is free, you're never obliged to hire anyone, and you pay only the tradie you choose to hire. Read the full answer
Does SureQuote check tradies' licences and insurance?
We collect each business's ABN, licence, insurance and warranty details and keep them as up to date as we can, so you can see them in one place on its profile. We don't guarantee them, so always check the licence yourself on the relevant licence register before you hire. Read the full answer
