What changes the price

Tradies don't pull a price out of thin air — these are the things they're checking on-site.

  • Severity (kitchen vs full-house backup)
  • Whether a CCTV inspection is needed
  • After-hours or weekend callout
  • Tree-root involvement (adds excavation cost)

Why guess when you can ask?
