Licensed plumber - by the hour

Quote requiredProvider price, scope and timing are confirmed in an estimate

  • PGDBregister checked for regulated work

Eligibility and coverage are checked again before a provider can submit an estimate

Suitable for one or more small plumbing faults that can be inspected and worked on safely within a chosen block, especially when the exact repair is not yet known.

Book a provider with the required plumbing verification for a selected time block. They triage the tasks you list, work through the agreed priorities, and record completed work and anything that needs materials, another trade, more time, or a separate quote.

Scope boundaries: The purchase covers provider time, not a guaranteed number of tasks or a guaranteed repair outcome. Restricted work remains limited to the provider's current licence class and confirmed capability.

No fixed provider price or appointment is published here. Eligible providers define the work, milestones, price and timing in an estimate; Serproz adds no customer platform fee, and the customer chooses whether to accept it.

Only a claimed provider who passes the applicable verification and exact-job capability checks can submit an estimate. Nothing is charged when you post; after acceptance, review the provider's recorded job price before funding the agreed milestones.

What the scope covers

Scope, questions and quote basis

Review the published scope and price or estimate basis before you choose a provider.

Included

  • Travel and call-out within the provider's confirmed service area
  • Task review and prioritisation at the start of the booked block
  • Hands-on diagnostic and plumbing work for the purchased time
  • Minor sealing consumables such as thread tape or washers when the provider has suitable stock
  • Basic function and leak checks on work completed during the block
  • Written summary of completed tasks and proposed follow-up work

Exclusions and changes

  • Replacement fixtures, valves, pipe, specialist equipment, or other materials beyond minor consumables
  • Gasfitting, roofing, electrical, building, or other work outside the provider's confirmed scope
  • Drain excavation, pipe relining, major blockage equipment, or work on public or shared infrastructure
  • Destructive opening, asbestos-related work, or reinstatement of walls, floors, cabinets, or finishes
  • Extra time unless a separate change is described and approved

Quote basis

This page does not publish a fixed provider offer. Each eligible provider estimate must state the proposed scope, milestones, price and timing before the customer chooses one.

Before you request

What to confirm before you request

  • What tasks need attention, and which one is the highest priority?
  • Is water actively escaping, and can the affected supply be isolated?
  • Where are the fixtures and pipework, and what access is available?
  • Do you know of any gas, electrical, drainage, asbestos, or building work involved?
  • Are replacement fixtures or parts already on site?
