Your local tradie,
found in seconds

South West Trades lists verified local tradespeople with real Google reviews, star ratings and direct contact details for every suburb from Bunbury to Augusta. Compare ratings, read genuine customer reviews, then call or visit the tradie's website directly — no middlemen, no lead fees, no commission. For extra peace of mind, always ask for a quote in writing and check the tradie's WA licence number through the WA Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS) online licence search.

Our directory covers 10 trade categories across the South West: Plumbing & Gas (including gasfitters and drain specialists), Electrical (domestic, commercial and solar connections), Carpentry & Building (licensed builders, renovators and deck builders), Painting & Rendering, Landscaping & Earthworks (including reticulation and limestone walls), Roofing (Colorbond, tile and gutters), Air Conditioning (split systems and ducted), Tiling (bathrooms, kitchens and pool surrounds), Concreting & Paving, and Solar & Renewable Energy. New categories are added as the directory grows.

We currently list businesses across Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River, Dunsborough, Augusta, Harvey and Collie. Many listed tradies also service surrounding areas including Australind, Eaton, Dalyellup, Vasse, Abbey Beach, Cowaramup, Eagle Bay, Yallingup, Nannup, Manjimup, Donnybrook, Bridgetown, Capel, Waroona and Yarloop. If you're outside these areas, contact the relevant tradie directly to confirm their service radius — most South West tradies are willing to travel for the right job.

All listings are verified against Google Business profiles. However, always independently confirm licensing before hiring. In Western Australia, the law requires: plumbers hold a licence from the WA Plumbers Licensing Board; electricians hold a licence from DEMIRS (WA Energy Safety); and builders doing work over $20,000 must be registered with Building and Energy WA. You can verify any WA licence in minutes at ols.demirs.wa.gov.au. Also ask to see a certificate of currency for public liability insurance — reputable tradies carry at least $5 million in cover.

According to the 2025 AussieWork Trade Salary Guide, self-employed tradies in WA typically charge $80–$200 per hour depending on trade type, experience and job complexity. Plumbers generally charge $100–$180/hr; electricians $90–$180/hr; carpenters $80–$150/hr. Most tradies also charge a call-out fee of $80–$150. Emergency or after-hours work attracts penalty rates of 1.5–2× the standard rate. WA tradies generally earn towards the top end nationally — Trade Risk's 2023 income report found WA was the highest-paying state for self-employed tradies. Always get at least two written quotes before committing.
