Start with the right response
For fire, exposed live wiring, a gas smell or any other immediate danger, call 000 or your utility’s faults line first. This directory is not an emergency dispatch service, and a published emergency claim does not mean a business is available right now.
Each entry below says what the business’s own website advertised when we read it on 12 November 2026. Ring the business to confirm it can attend your suburb, when, and what the call-out fee covers.

Before anyone starts work
- Check the licence: in New South Wales, builders and trades are licensed by Building Commission NSW, and plumbing, gasfitting and electrical work needs a licence whatever it costs. Checking a licence in every state explains where to look.
- Ask for total initial fees: call-out, travel, diagnostic and after-hours amounts can differ from the repair cost.
- Agree changes first: settle extra work and its price before it goes ahead, where practical.
