How to choose the best plumber and gas fitter for your project

There are many plumbers and gas fitters in Australia so it is important to ensure that the contractor you hire is qualified and meets the standards to demonstrate they have the skills to complete the job. On top of this, it is also good to see examples of their previous work or projects so you can compare them with what you have in mind. Plumbers and gas fitters often specialise in particular areas, like commercial or residential buildings, so will be best suited to that type of project. Another tip is to read testimonials to find out what the professional is like to work with. Thankfully, all this information is available for each professional on their profile page on ArchiPro. Registration is handled at state or territory level, rather than by a national plumbers and gas fitters board or a board of plumbers and gas fitters.

Once you have a few shortlisted, you can get in touch and start a conversation by asking a few questions like:

  • How long have you been a plumber or gas fitter in Australia?
  • What is your hourly rate?
  • What industry/building type do you specialise in?
  • Are you registered in Australia?
  • Are you insured for any potential damage?
  • How long do you think my job/project will take?

How do I know if my plumber is licensed?

Plumbers are often registered with a board, to ensure that they have had the adequate training needed to be a plumber in Australia. They will often have been issued an authorisation card, which you can ask to see to determine whether they are licensed or not.

Can a plumber detect a water leak?

Yes, a plumber can detect a water leak. They use tools such as acoustic listening devices and heat scanners to identify where a leak is and then fix it. This protects your home from expensive water damage and ensures that the leak does not happen again.

Can a plumber fix a dishwasher?

This depends on where the problem is occurring. If the issue is inside your dishwasher, then it is unlikely that a plumber can solve that issue. However, if the problem is with the plumbing, i.e., the pipes that drain into the dishwasher, then the plumber will help you fix this.
