Hiring a plumber in Katherine: what to check

Licence check. Plumbing and drainage work in Northern Territory must be done by a licensed or registered plumber. Ask for their licence or registration number and check it with the NT regulator before work starts.
  • Check the tradie holds the licence or registration required in your state for your type of job.
  • Ask for a written quote that lists labour, materials and GST.
  • Get a written contract for larger jobs — many states require one for residential building work over a set value.
  • Ask whether they hold public liability insurance.
  • Check the ABN on the ABN Lookup website.

Tips for Katherine

  • In regional areas plumbers may travel long distances or visit on scheduled runs, so ask about travel costs and try to group jobs into one visit.
  • Confirm materials or equipment are on hand before the visit, as getting parts can take longer.
  • Ask whether they offer after-hours or emergency call-outs, and what that costs, before you need one.
