Pricing guide
Costs are driven by how urgent the visit is, the access and age of the property, and how complex the diagnosis turns out to be. After-hours or emergency attendance typically increases labour and incidental materials allowances, while restricted-access or older buildings often require extra setup time or multiple visits. Standard daytime diagnostics usually cover a single visit and minor part replacement, with major replacements priced separately or as follow-up work.
Urgency and after-hours attendance
Emergency or after-hours visits generally attract higher labour and incidental materials allowances due to expedited attendance and limited parts sourcing.
Property access and age
Strata sites, locked plant rooms or older buildings often need extra setup time and careful work, which can increase on-site time or require multiple attendances.
Diagnostic complexity and testing required
If isolating supply, pressure testing or tracing intermittent faults is needed, the investigation will usually take longer and involve more labour.
Need for part replacements or repairs
Standard visits typically cover minor fittings and common valves, whereas major items like pumps, large regulators or re-pipes are usually treated as additional work.
Number of attendances and coordination
Multiple visits may be required for parts sourcing or arranged access, and coordination with strata or managers can affect overall time on site.
