Other than call-out fees, plumbing service charges evolve around labour cost. In Australia, it’s common for plumbers to charge an hourly rate, although it depends on the job on a case-by-case basis. Upon inspecting the problem, some plumbers may choose to charge a fixed rate instead of hourly rate. The average hourly rate in Australia ranges from $80 to $130, but it can vary based on your location, experience as a plumber and also the type of services. For example, plumbers may charge higher for emergency services or after hours service. Call Flowsafe Plumbing on 0415 122 675 for emergency services without additional charges.
