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.

Does Blacktown Tradies check tradies' licences and insurance?

Check credentials before hiring: ask for the licence number, check it free on the NSW Fair Trading website and ask to see current insurance before work begins in St Marys.
How long does it take to get a quote in St Marys?

How quickly depends on the trade, how busy they are and whether the job suits them, and we can't guarantee a response or a number of quotes. Choose “Urgent” in the form if the job can't wait.
Does Blacktown City Council require permits for home renovation work in St Marys?
It depends on the work. Some renovations need no approval, while others, such as a granny flat or a second-storey addition on a standard residential lot, may be able to use the Complying Development Certificate (CDC) pathway instead of a full Development Application (DA). Larger or more complex work in St Marys may need a DA from Blacktown City Council. 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 St Marys?
It depends more on the job than on being in St Marys. It makes sense to have gutters and the roof checked before storm season, and to plan exterior painting for dry weather. Allow time to get and compare written quotes, especially for larger jobs.

About St Marys
St Marys is a suburb with a major town centre and railway station on the border of Blacktown City and Penrith; only part of it is in Blacktown City.

- Housing from 1960s brick homes to modern townhouses
- Only part of St Marys is in Blacktown City
Only part of St Marys is in Blacktown City. Businesses that list it may not cover every street, so mention your street in the job description.
Hiring for a home in St Marys
Many St Marys homes are established brick and brick-veneer houses, built over several decades, which may need maintenance and updates such as hot water system replacement, switchboard upgrades, roof repairs, air conditioning and bathroom renovations. Ask tradies about similar jobs they've done before you accept a quote.
Beyond the age of the home, the site matters. Cracks in walls, paths or driveways can have several causes, so ask for the cause to be checked before repairs are quoted. Gutters under mature trees can fill quickly, and a regular termite inspection is worth considering for any established home. Some additions and renovations on standard residential lots can be approved as complying development with a Complying Development Certificate (CDC), while others need a Development Application (DA). A written quote should say what's included if site conditions affect the work.
