How pricing works
Most gas fitting jobs in south-east Melbourne land in the range above. Your plumber inspects first and quotes after assessing the job, before any work begins. If something unexpected is uncovered during the work (a corroded fitting, a non-compliant connection behind the appliance) they’ll pause, explain, and re-quote before continuing. There’s no call-out fee, and if you turn the quote down and no work goes ahead, you pay nothing.
