The cost of hiring a plumber

So how much will a plumber cost you?

Plumbers usually charge a call-out fee, which is what you pay to have them visit your property. After that, they are likely to charge by the hour until the job is done.

A call-out fee can cost anything from $60 to $100, with hourly rates anywhere from $100 - $150 depending on the plumber. The fee your plumber charges will depend on where you live and may vary according to the plumber’s skill level. For example, a Master Plumber is likely to charge more for their services. Your plumber may have fixed rates for services such as unblocking drains and installing water systems.

Some plumbers may also offer a 24-hour emergency plumbing service since many plumbing problems occur outside the 9 to 5 window! The cost of this varies, with some plumbers charging their usual hourly rates, though most will charge extra for call-outs at odd hours.

Our tips for hiring a plumber

 1.Always ensure your plumber is appropriately licensed for the work being carried out - ask to see it.

 2. Always choose a plumber who is a member of the Master Plumbers Association in your State.

 3. Never choose a plumber on the basis of price alone.

 4. Beware of plumbers advertising  payments if they are late. These are usually linked to onerous terms and conditions, which eventuates in them never needing to honour the such an offer.

 5. Beware of plumbers advertising discounts, vouchers, and specials on particular days - usually, their discounts will be offered only on an inflated price. Remember, if it looks to good to be true, it probably is!

 6. Never choose a plumber with the largest advertisement - think about it - if they need to do that much advertising to attract business, where is their recurring clientele?

 7. You will often find that your local, small family business will provide the best service at a fair and reasonable rate. They will often not have the largest ad, the biggest fleet, and will often have a simple business name such as "Dave Smith Plumbing". But they will more often than not provide the best service in your local area, although they are often busy and you may sometimes have to wait a short time for them to get to your job.
