How to Choose the Best Contractor in Wollongong

Use this checklist before hiring any contractor in Wollongong, New South Wales.

  1. 1

    Verify their electrical licence is current at your state's electrical safety authority (e.g. Energy Safe Victoria, NSW Fair Trading).

  2. 2

    Confirm they carry public liability insurance of at least $5 million — ask to see the certificate.

  3. 3

    Get 2–3 written quotes for any job over $500. A written quote protects both parties and clarifies the full scope.

  4. 4

    Check their Google and TradeRefer ratings — look for consistent reviews mentioning punctuality, clean workmanship, and clear communication.

  5. 5

    Ask whether they'll provide a Certificate of Compliance (electrical safety certificate) on completion, as required by law in most states.

Frequently Asked Questions — Contractor in Wollongong

How much does a plumber cost per hour in Australia?

Most plumbers charge between $80 and $200 per hour, depending on your state, the complexity of the job, and whether it's emergency work. Emergency callouts typically attract a higher rate of $150–$300/hr plus a callout fee.

Do I need a licensed plumber or can I do it myself?

All plumbing work connected to water supply, drainage, or gas lines must be done by a licensed plumber in every Australian state and territory. DIY plumbing is illegal for these tasks and can void your home insurance.

How long does a blocked drain take to fix?

A standard blocked drain is usually cleared within 1–2 hours. If the blockage is severe or requires drain camera inspection and pipe relining, it may take 4–8 hours or longer.

What should I look for in a plumbing quote?

A good plumbing quote should itemize labour, materials, call-out fees, and GST separately. Ask if the quote is fixed-price or hourly. Always get 2–3 quotes for jobs over $500.

Can I claim plumbing repairs on my home insurance?

Sudden water damage from a burst pipe is usually covered. Gradual leaks and general maintenance are typically not covered. Check your Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for exact inclusions.
