How to Check an Electrician Is Licensed in WA (and Why It Matters)

Electrical work in Western Australia must be carried out by licensed professionals, and checking a licence takes only a few minutes. Electrical worker and contractor licences can both be verified through the public online search run by Building and Energy, the state regulator. Customers should confirm the licence is current and the name matches. Unlicensed work can raise safety risks and may lead an home insurer to dispute a claim. Licensed contractors must also lodge a notice of completion after most work.

Got a higher than expected water bill? Check this first

A higher-than-expected water bill may stem from a hidden leak rather than rising prices alone, according to Canberra plumbers. Contemporary Plumbing's service manager, Sam Blayden, says many such cases can be diagnosed over the phone. Homeowners are advised to first confirm the meter number matches their property and check the reading against the bill, since manual reading errors or inaccurate estimates can occur. Next, with all taps and appliances switched off, a meter dial still moving suggests a leak.

However, persistent cracking, loose tiles, or lingering dampness may signal waterproofing failure, requiring professional inspection. Specialists in Sydney and Western Sydney can determine if a simple repair or more extensive work is needed, ensuring long-term solutions for bathroom maintenance.
