Before you hire a tradie
When they join, tradies confirm they hold the licences and insurance their work requires, but we don't independently check those documents at present. We provide the introduction: the business quotes and carries out the work directly, and we don't supervise the work or guarantee the outcome.
- Ask for the relevant NSW licence number.
- Check the licence with NSW Fair Trading.
- Request current insurance details.
- Get the scope, price and timing in writing.
What affects the price
Every job is quoted on its own. These are the usual things that affect the price:
- Size and scope. How much work there is and how many parts of the home it involves.
- Access. How easy the work is to reach, for example roof height, crawl spaces, or pipes and cables inside walls or under slabs.
- Materials. The products, fittings and finishes you choose.
- Age of the house. Older homes can need extra work to bring things up to current standards.
- Urgency. Same-day, after-hours and weekend work usually costs more than a booked visit.
- Compliance paperwork. Any certificates, approvals or inspections the job needs.
Ask about any call-out fee before someone visits, and compare written quotes for the same scope of work.

If your Riverstone home is newly built, contact the builder first about defects: under the Home Building Act 1989 (NSW), statutory warranties cover major defects for 6 years and other defects for 2 years. Ask your tradie or a certifier what applies, and check blacktown.nsw.gov.au for details.
What is the best time of year to hire a tradie in Riverstone?
If you're planning landscaping, fencing or a driveway after moving in, contact tradies well before you need the work done. Otherwise, the best time to book in Riverstone depends on the job and the tradie's schedule, so ask about timing when you compare quotes.

Hiring for a home in Riverstone

Ask tradies about similar jobs they've done before you accept a quote.
Every site in Riverstone is different. Ask how any new concrete, paths or footings will suit the soil on your lot. If you're adding solar, a battery or an EV charger, check that the roof and switchboard suit it.
