Can you recommend a tradesperson?

The Bunnings Workshop community is full of helpful people sharing their experiences and knowledge about home improvement. We are always happy to provide D.I.Y. advice. The Bunnings team also offers a range of in-home services for specific installation jobs.

However, if you are looking for recommendations on a builder, plumber or other tradesperson, we are unlikely to be able to assist. We would recommend you try a site like Airtasker or hipages. As Workshop is a community for people right across Australia and New Zealand, it is unlikely that there will be a member near you who can recommend someone suitable. It's best to go direct to a site that is designed for that purpose.

The NSW Department of Fair Trading has a website offering advice on selecting a tradesperson or builder. Our Workshop Best Advice How do you choose a builder might also be helpful.

We are renovating our kitchen. We got a design done with Bunnings in home consultant but now need to find builders to put it in for us. Does anyone have any recommendations? Reasonable prices and quality workmanship paramount.

Hello @DrVee

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's marvellous to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about kitchen builders.

Would it be possible for you to please tell me which store you had this kitchen quoted at? A kitchen installation service is offered at the store, however, it's always prudent to ask to make sure that this service is available at that particular store. Unfortunately, I can only recommend the store installer as they have gone through Bunning's certification.

If you were to engage the services of an independent installer, I suggest keeping these recommendations in mind. Ask the installer for the last three customers they serviced. You'll be able to tell if they provided good service by speaking to the former customers. Ask for pictures of their kitchen installation, you'll be able to tell how good their workmanship is. The other source of reviews is of course online. A good installer will have a very good online presence and will be showing off their work.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Thank you so much Eric,

It was at the Tingalpa/Manly West store that we had it designed.

Hi @DrVee,

Your In-Home Consultant can provide a list of accredited installers to use. If you give them a quick call, they'll be happy to send you details of the installers we use in your area.

Please let me know if you need assistance getting back in touch with your consultant.

Hello @Maureen2

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us.

It all depends on what you're having installed. The store has many installation services including kitchen and laundry installation services. If you can tell us what you're planning to do, I can find out for you if our service offer covers it.

Thank you Eric

Initially, I need a small kitchen removed and new one installed with a little bit of wall ( splashback) removed. New Appliances installed too.

Then a little plumbing job- hand basin installed in existing toilet.

Hello @Maureen2

I suggest posting a picture of the kitchen you want to have removed along with measurements of the kitchen itself. I'll be more than happy to draw you up a kitchen layout that you can then take to the store and have quoted. In regards to the plumbing and hand basin job, you can ask the kitchen installer if they are willing to add these small jobs to the kitchen installation.

When you go to the store to have your kitchen quoted, make sure to ask for a demolition and installation quote as well. This will often include the electrician and plumber as well.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let me know.

Need reliable & fair pricing company to pressure clean outside tiles which have black mould on them. Any suggestions?

Hi @Kaz22,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is great to have you with us.

Companies like this are generally very area specific, so it would be difficult to offer a recommendation for you.

I'd suggest having a look at a service such as Hipages or True Local for a pressure washing company in your area.

If you'd like to try and carry out the job yourself, have a look at our range of Pressure Washers.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi guys

my bedroom roof collapsed during this horrible rainy weather

l don’t have the means to DIY myself

any trasdesmen in Bunnings who is willing to help, contact me pls

or even refer me to a reliable company

Hi @Sheza81,

I'd like to start by welcoming you to the Bunnings Workshop community. It is fantastic to have you with us.

I'm so sorry to hear about your roof collapsing and can only imagine the anguish it has caused.

Can I ask whether it was the roof that collapsed? Or the ceiling? This will narrow down what sort of tradesman you will need to contact.

If it is a ceiling, you will need to contact a plasterer, if it is a roof, you will need to contact a licenced builder or roofing contractor.

You might like to use a service such as Hipages or True Local to find someone in your area who does this kind of work.

It may also be helpful to head to the Trade Desk at your local Bunnings. While we don't have preferred contractors, the staff on the Trade Desk will interact with several people who are in the industry during an average week. They may be able to put you in touch with some local tradies who can quote on the job.

Let me know if there's anything else I can assist with.

Hi,

I asked for a home assessment some time back. But noone followed up.

Who is in charge of kitchens in Wellington?

And do you have handy kitchen installers, or carpenters.

Thanks for replying.

Jo.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @jonaturelle. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about our kitchen design service.

I've reached out to Bunnings Wellington to check on your request. Was it the virtual online consultation you were enquiring about, or would you prefer to see our team in-store? Once your consultation has been completed, a design put together, and you're happy, we can provide an obligation-free estimate, including installation by a certified installer.

I apologise, but if you can re-submit the 'Get in touch' form, then I'll ensure our team follow up on your request.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
