Handymen in Perth: FAQs
Do handymen need a licence in WA?
In Western Australia, building work over $20,000 that needs a building permit must be done by a registered building contractor. Check registration on the WA Building and Energy public register before you sign. Whatever the job size, electrical, plumbing and gas work must always be done by the appropriately licensed trade.
Can a handyman do electrical or plumbing work?
No, not unless they also hold the right licence. Electrical, plumbing and gas work must be done by a licensed electrician, plumber or gas fitter, whatever the size of the job.
How do I get the best value from a handyman?
Write a list of every small job before they arrive and send photos. Bundling jobs into one visit avoids paying multiple call-out fees.
Does a handyman need a licence?
For small jobs, often not. But state building licence rules kick in above a set job value, and some types of work need a licence at any value. Ask before you book.
