What to check when hiring carpenters / joiners in Australia
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Trade and building licensing in Australia is set by each state or territory. Check the relevant regulator (e.g. NSW Fair Trading, QBCC in Queensland, VBA in Victoria) that the contractor holds a current licence for the work type and value before you hire.
- For larger residential building work, confirm the contractor carries the home-building / domestic-building insurance your state requires before you pay a deposit. It is what protects you if the work is left unfinished or defective.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
How to judge a carpenter / joiner
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Carpentry that's part of building work is licensed above a threshold: QBCC licenses carpentry in Qld over $3,300 (incl. materials), and NSW Fair Trading requires a building licence for work over $5,000. Verify the licence covers your job.
- Structural framing must comply with the residential timber-framing standard AS 1684: ask how any load-bearing work meets it.
- Confirm public liability insurance and a valid ABN on the ABN Lookup (abr.business.gov.au).
- Get a written quote with a clear scope, timber grade and materials, and ask to see photos of comparable completed work.
Warning signs of a dodgy tradie
- Does building-scale carpentry over your state's threshold without the licence required.
- Vague about how load-bearing or structural framing meets AS 1684.
- No public liability insurance, no ABN, or a large cash deposit up front.
- A quote with no detail on materials, timber grade or scope.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Does this job need a building or trade licence in my state, and can I see it?
- Is any of the work structural, and how does it meet AS 1684?
- Do you carry public liability insurance, and what is your ABN?
- Can I see comparable completed work, and what warranty do you give?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy carpenter / joiner?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A carpenter / joiner backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend carpenters / joiners for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Carpenters / joiners are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a carpenter / joiner?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the carpenter / joiner, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
