Choosing a plumbing company

Choosing the right plumber service need not be a bit of a gamble.

Finding the best plumber for the job takes a little bit of shopping around. Some specialise in blocked drains or bathroom renovations while others offer 24-hour emergency plumbing services. Ask a number of plumbers for quotes before making a decision. It makes sense to get the best value for money for your plumbing services, but make sure you’re not scrimping on quality.

It’s also a smart move to check the plumber’s licence and qualifications and ensure they’re also insured. They should be a member of the Master Plumbers Association. Your plumber may also guarantee their work, which can held put your mind at ease.

How much does Plumbing cost?

Your project costs will vary, depending on its complexity. Like any other trade, plumbers charge an hourly rate and will also charge for any materials your home needs.

The amount plumbers changes varies wildly between $70 to $220 per hour, but you can probably safely expect to pay a median rate of $100 per hour for labour. Your plumber could also charge a callout fee, particularly if it’s an after-hours job. For standard jobs, such as unblocking a drain or installing a toilet, many local plumbers can quote a flat rate.
