Carpentry in Melbourne South East
Knut is preparing carpentry coverage in Melbourne South East. Requests and bookings open at launch.
Common carpentry jobs
Carpentry covers a range of practical jobs around a property. You can request help with doors, including fitting or repairs; trim; framing; decking; and cabinetry repair. Be clear about whether the work is new, damaged or needs adjustment, and point out any parts that must stay in place. If a job involves more than one type of work, describe each part when you submit the request. Knut sends the job to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service, so a clear description helps them understand what you need to have done.
How to brief a carpentry job
Describe what needs doing, where the work is, and when you would like it done. Add photos if useful: a wide view can show the setting, while close-ups can make damage or the area needing repair easier to understand. Include relevant measurements if you have them, and mention the material or finish if you know it. For a door, explain whether it needs repair or replacement; for decking or framing, outline the section involved. You only need to describe the job once. Knut shares it with suitable tradies, who can use the details to prepare quotes.
Costs and Knut’s booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. If you book through Knut, you pay Knut one booking fee: 5% on smaller jobs, tapering to 2.5% on large jobs, and never more than $150.00. You also pay the tradie’s quoted price for the work. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Before booking, review the quote for the work it covers and ask the tradie about anything you are unsure of. The booking fee is paid at booking, when you book through Knut.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. Before booking, check that the quote reflects the work you described, including any relevant repair or fitting details, and ask the tradie to clarify anything that is unclear. Some jobs in this trade need a licence or registration depending on the work and the state. Knut applies the relevant check from the job scope. Once booked, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut for maintenance across many properties.
Knut's booking fee
Requesting quotes is free. When you book, Knut adds one booking fee, shown before you pay, and never more than $150. The provider keeps 100% of their quote.
