Hiring a plumber in Sydney: what to check

Licence check. This is specialist work in NSW, so a licence is needed regardless of the job’s value. Check the licence (and that it covers the right category) 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

  • Blocked drains and toilets
  • Leaking taps, pipes and toilets
  • Hot water system repairs and replacement
  • Gas fitting and gas appliance connections (with a gasfitting licence)
  • Bathroom and kitchen plumbing for renovations
  • Burst pipes and emergency call-outs
  • Backflow testing
  • Stormwater and roof drainage

Local tips for Sydney

  • In apartments, leaks often affect neighbours and common property, so let your strata manager know and keep reports from your plumber.
  • 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.
