NSW Government licence verification

Warning signs

Pressure to sign immediately
Large or unusual deposit demands
No written preparation scope
A promise that paint fixes every leak
No inspection before a fixed complex quote
Licence details that do not match the person or company
Vague product descriptions or coat numbers

Verify, do not assume

The NSW Government register can show licence status and categories. A business name or ABN is not the same as a contractor licence.
