  • 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.

Local tips for Newcastle

  • Coastal homes can see faster corrosion of outdoor taps and fittings — ask about suitable materials.
  • Heritage homes may have old cast-iron or lead pipework that needs careful replacement.
  • Older homes may still have galvanised steel or clay sewer pipes that crack or get invaded by tree roots — ask about a CCTV drain inspection.
