Plumbers on HomeSorted — FAQs
Do I need PIRB registration to get plumbing jobs?
For work that legally requires it, yes — and holding it helps you earn the HomeSorted Verified badge for your trade. You can still start on general jobs while you complete verification.
How much can I earn as a plumber in Johannesburg?
Plumbers jobs in Johannesburg typically pay around R700, with bigger jobs going much higher. Complete about 5 jobs a week and that's roughly R2980 in your pocket after our 15% commission. You set your own prices, so your earnings are up to you.
What does it cost to join HomeSorted as a plumber?
It's completely free to sign up. There are no monthly fees and no charge for quoting. We only take a 15% commission once you complete a paid job — so you never pay until you earn.
How do I get verified?
Upload a certified ID copy, a bank confirmation letter and take a live selfie in the app. You also give consent for a background check, which we run for you through an authorised screening partner — you don't need to obtain a police clearance yourself. Most reviews complete within 24–48 hours.
Do I get to choose which jobs I take?
Yes. You browse jobs posted near you and bid only on the ones you want, at a price you set. There's no forced dispatch and no penalty for passing on a job.
When and how do I get paid?
For now, clients pay you directly in cash on completion — you keep the full amount and commission is tracked for later. Card payments and automated weekly payouts are coming soon.
Do I need my own transport and tools?
You'll need the tools of your trade and a reliable way to reach jobs in the areas you choose to cover. You control your coverage areas, so you only see work you can realistically get to.
