Tradies across Greater Sydney

Sydney is a big, sprawling city, and the kind of home you live in changes a lot from one suburb to the next. You might be in a federation brick beauty up on the north shore, a tight inner-west terrace in Newtown, a fibro cottage out west, or a newer build in the Hills. Each one comes with its own quirks, and a good local tradie knows them.

We match you with one vetted tradie who works in your part of town, whether that’s the eastern suburbs, the inner west, the north shore, the Hills, western Sydney or the Sutherland Shire. And it’s not just the metro. We cover the Central Coast, the Blue Mountains and the regions beyond, so being a little off the beaten track is usually no problem.

The idea is simple. One good tradie, not five sales calls. We’re not a directory, and we don’t sell your details around to a list of companies who then ring you all week.

Common Sydney jobs

Older Sydney homes are lovely, but they ask a bit of their owners. A lot of the work we get asked about reflects that:

  • Bathroom and kitchen renos, including waterproofing that actually holds up
  • Repairs and updates to federation homes, terraces and weatherboard cottages
  • Strata work in units and apartment blocks, which is a big part of life across the inner city and the lower north shore
  • Roof, gutter and downpipe work after a heavy Sydney downpour
  • Decks, pergolas and outdoor areas to make the most of the weather
  • Rewiring and switchboard upgrades in older houses
  • Drainage and blocked drains, especially around mature trees and clay pipes

Whatever the job, the tradie we match you with carries the right licence and insurance for it, so you’re not left guessing.

Licences are checked against NSW Fair Trading

In New South Wales, the body that licenses tradies is NSW Fair Trading. Electrical work, plumbing and most building work all need a properly licensed person, and the exact rules and thresholds can shift, so it’s worth a quick check for anything substantial.

Every tradie we match you with has had their licence, insurance, ABN and reviews checked first. You can read more about how licensing works across the trades in our guides, and you can always verify a licence yourself on the NSW Fair Trading site before a big job. It only takes a minute and it’s one less thing to worry about.

Tradies in Sydney: common questions

How do you check a tradie's licence in NSW?
In New South Wales, licensed trades like electrical, plumbing and most building work are overseen by NSW Fair Trading. Before we match you, we check that the tradie holds a current licence for the work they do, along with insurance, a valid ABN and genuine reviews. You can also look anyone up yourself on the NSW Fair Trading licence check, and it's worth doing for bigger jobs.
Which parts of Sydney do you cover?
The whole of Greater Sydney, from the eastern suburbs and inner west to the north shore, the Hills, western Sydney and the Sutherland Shire. We also cover the Central Coast, the Blue Mountains and the surrounding regions, so even if you're a bit out of town we can usually still find you a good local.
How much does a tradie cost in Sydney?
It depends entirely on the job, the trade and how big the work is, and Sydney prices do tend to sit at the higher end. A small repair is one thing, a full bathroom reno is another. Have a look at our price guides for realistic ballpark ranges, then get a written quote so you know exactly what you're paying for before anyone starts.
How does the matching work?
Tell us what you need and where you are, and we match you with one vetted local tradie who suits the job. One good tradie, not five sales calls. We don't sell your details around or hand them to a pile of companies, so your phone stays quiet.
Is it really free for homeowners?
Yes. Getting matched and asking for a quote costs you nothing. We're not a directory and we don't charge you to use it, so you can get a quote without any pressure to go ahead.
