    Called David after having no joy with other plumbers in town to come and sort out a leaking toilet. He was able to come out that morning. Extremely professional. Then gave him another job to install a new hot water system. Again didn't have to wait too long. He arranged delivery and the electrician. All work done in an extremely prompt and professional manner. Would definitely recommend him.

    David was prompt and informative, he called me along the way to confirm the issue and what was needed, and did a brilliant job. Super low bill too, can’t recommend him highly enough!

    David was great, gave me a call and helped me figure out how to fix the problem I was having with my hot water system. Gave me great advice rather than just selling me on a replacement unit. I will happily use David for any plumbing needs and I have in the future.

Frequently asked questions

How much do plumbers typically charge?
Plumbing costs vary significantly depending on the type of job and its complexity. Simple fixture repairs are generally much less than jobs involving pipe replacement, excavation or gas appliance work. Most quotes include a call-out fee, hourly labour and parts, with after-hours or emergency attendance usually attracting higher rates. This page shows live pricing for jobs in your area.
Do plumbers charge call-out fees?
Call-out fees are common and are often used to cover travel and the initial assessment. Plumbers typically add hourly labour and any materials or replacement parts to the call-out fee. After-hours, weekend or emergency attendances are usually charged at higher rates and some small jobs may have a minimum charge.
Do plumbers need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Plumbing work must be carried out by a licensed plumber in every Australian state and territory, and in NSW the regulator is NSW Fair Trading (Building Commission NSW). Plumbers will generally provide their licence number and should be able to supply compliance certificates for regulated work. Look for an ABN, public liability insurance and relevant industry memberships as additional trust signals.
