Hiring a Drainer in Merewether

Before hiring any drainer in Merewether, use this checklist to protect yourself and ensure you're working with a properly licensed and insured professional.

  1. Verify their NSW Fair Trading licence is current — Search the tradesperson's name or licence number on TradieVerify or the NSW Fair Trading register. Confirm the licence class covers your project type and check for any conditions or disciplinary history.
  2. Check for current insurance — Ask for proof of public liability insurance (minimum $5 million recommended) and workers compensation insurance if they have employees.
  3. Get a written quote — Ensure the quote details the scope of work, materials, labour costs, and any potential additional charges. Verbal quotes are not sufficient for larger jobs.
  4. Ask about warranties — Reputable drainers offer a warranty on their workmanship (typically 12 months). All materials should come with manufacturer warranties.
  5. Confirm compliance certificates — For any regulated work, your drainer must issue a Certificate of Compliance to the relevant authority upon completion.
Pro Tip

Get at least three quotes and compare not just price, but response time, warranty on workmanship, and whether the quote includes parts.
