Hiring a carpenter in Sydney: what to check

Licence check. In NSW, a contractor licence is needed for residential building or trade work valued at more than $5,000 including GST (labour and materials). Check the licence and its categories on the NSW Government Verify licence check.
  • Check their licence (and that it covers your type of work) before you hire.
  • Ask for a written quote that lists labour, materials and GST.
  • For residential work over $5,000 (incl. GST) in NSW, get a written contract.
  • Confirm they hold public liability insurance.
  • Check the ABN on the ABN Lookup website.
  • Ask how long the job will take and who will be on site.

Typical jobs

  • Decks, pergolas and verandahs
  • Doors, door frames and hardware
  • Skirting, architraves and trims
  • Timber framing for renovations and extensions
  • Built-in wardrobes and shelving
  • Stair and balustrade repairs

Local tips for Sydney

  • For apartments, check strata by-laws before changing floors, doors or balconies, as approval is often needed.
  • Heritage homes may need matching joinery, mouldings or window sashes — ask whether the carpenter does restoration work.
  • In older homes, termite or rot damage is often found once boards come off, so ask how the carpenter prices hidden damage.
