How to Hire a Local Plumber Australia
- 6 years ago
Plumbers must be licensed or registered in all states, but the type of licence they need can differ:
A plumber in New South Wales can be a contractor or a supervisor
A plumber in Victoria can be a "main" plumber or hold a restricted or specialised registration card
A Queensland plumber can be a contractor or nominee supervisor
Plumbers in South Australia can be contractors or licensed workers who work for contractors
Two types of licences exist for plumbers in Western Australia.
You can hire a plumbing contractor or a drainage plumbing contractor.
A plumber in Western Austrelia can also hold a "Tradesperson" licence.
A plumber in Tasmania can hold three types of licences: contractor, practitioner or provisional (a provisional plumber works under supervision).
An ACT plumber can be a Sanitary, Advanced Sanitary or Journeyman plumber. A "journeyman" can only do restricted work and must work under supervision.
A plumber in the Northern Territory can be a Journeyman or Advanced Tradesman.
For more information, read the Plumbing section on licensedtrades.com.au.
It's also a good idea to find out what type of plumbing the plumbers you get quotes from typically do.
Some plumbers do plumbing repairs while others specialise in new home plumbing. Both may be qualified to install new plumbing or do repairs, but a new home plumbing service will schedule enough time to complete your job.
A plumber who does repairs will be able to estimate the time it will take to do your job and may be able to schedule your repairs faster.
You will need to do some homework to find the best local plumber for your needs, but it will be worth it.
After you've narrowed down your choices, you can compare prices and then choose the best and least expensive plumber for your job.
After you've found a plumber you like, jot down their phone number.
You will know who to call next time you need plumbing work.
