How we judge a quote

Each verdict compares your quote with the low, typical and high prices in our Sydney price register for that job. Area modifiers and after-hours loadings are applied the same way as in our cost guides. A quote that leaves out the call-out fee is compared as if you'd pay one. Read the methodology.

Questions

How does the Quote Checker work?

Pick the job, enter your postcode and the quote amount, and tick what it includes. We compare it with the typical Sydney low, typical and high prices for that job, adjusted for your area and time of day.

Is a cheap quote a good quote?

Not always. Quotes well under the usual range often leave out the call-out fee, the camera inspection or jetting, or switch to hourly billing once the plumber is on site. Ask what's included before you agree.

Is a high quote a rip-off?

Difficult access, deep pipes, after-hours work and repairs can all justify a higher price. If it's above the usual range, ask for it itemised and get a second quote.

Do you keep my quote?

We store the job type, area and amount, without your name or contact details, to keep our Sydney price data current.
