Electrical services in South Sydney and St George

Knut is preparing electrical coverage in South Sydney and St George. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Electrical jobs you can request

You can use Knut to request help with fault finding, power points, lighting, switchboards, appliance connections or emergency electrical work. Explain what is happening or what you want installed, and include the room or part of the property involved. For a fault, describe any signs you have noticed rather than trying to diagnose it yourself. If there is immediate danger to life or property, such as an electrical hazard, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first. Knut connects customers with independent local tradies; it does not carry out electrical work itself.

How to brief an electrical job

Describe what needs doing, where the property is, and when you would like the work done. Mention relevant details such as which power point, light or appliance is involved, what is not working, and whether the job relates to a switchboard. Photos can be useful when they help show the issue or the area of work. You only need to describe the job once through Knut. It sends the request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service, giving them information to prepare quotes.

Quotes and Knut's booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. When 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. Check the quote details before booking so you understand the proposed work.

Choosing and checking an electrical tradie

Electrical work involves licensed work, so Knut only matches it to tradies whose licence has been verified. Read the quote and consider how well it addresses the job you described, including any details you added or shared in photos. If something is unclear, message the tradie through Knut before booking. 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 to request 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.
