How do I hire roofing labour in Sydney this week?

Post the suburb, repair versus re-roof, height, whether you need a roofer or a labourer, and a written AUD band on Yakka Labour first. Photograph White Cards when the site requires them and confirm Fair Work.

Is roof labour the same as a roof plumber?

No. Metal roof plumbing and licensed plumbing work are not general roof labour. Name the trade. Do not send unlicensed people to do licensed work.

What should the height brief include?

Storeys, access, harness rules and whether the host supplies edge protection. Crews who are not set up for that height should not be shortlisted.

Does Yakka replace a roofing contractor?

No. Warranty, specification and weather calls stay with your roofing contractor. Yakka fills extra roofers or labour for the package.

How should hosts set AUD rates?

Write the day rate band, including height, and confirm the award on Fair Work before the first shift.
