    Joe is a very professional and knowledgeable plumber, and an excellent communicator. Fortunately, Joe was able to provide an estimate for my job and complete the work on the same day that I contacted him. The work was very neat and tidy, and the cost did not exceed the estimate (which was greatly appreciated). I would highly recommend Joe for your plumbing needs.

    Had a water leak that required urgent repair. Joe promptly attended and efficiently carried out the repair to a high standard. I will certainly use Joe again for any plumbing works.

    Joe was great. Problem fixed perfectly the same day when others wouldn't come. Reasonable rates and fast service. Thank you and would definitely recommend.

    Joe arrived a little earlier than 'booked' but that was actually great. He was able to fix our plumbing issue in a timely manner. Very friendly service at a good price. Would definitely recommend

    Joe, the Platypus plumber, late on a Friday afternoon fixed my blocked toilet. He was patient, friendly and respectful. It wasn’t an easy job but he left me with a working toilet.

    Thanks to Joe at Platypus Plumbing for coming at short notice to replace our burst hotwater cylinder! On time (in fact, early!), friendly, efficient & helpful. Highly recommend!

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.
