Common fencing jobs

You can request help with timber fencing, metal fencing, gates or fence repairs. That might mean describing a new fence you want installed, asking for a gate to be fitted, or explaining which part of an existing fence needs attention. Be clear about whether you want new work or a repair, and mention any particular material you have in mind. If you are unsure what the job needs, describe what you can see and ask the tradies responding to explain their proposed work in their quotes.

How to brief your fencing job

Describe what needs doing, where the work is, and when you would like it done. Photos can help show the fence or gate, the affected area and any visible damage. If you know the approximate length or height of the section, include it; if not, say that you are unsure rather than guessing. Mention whether the job is for timber or metal fencing, if you have a preference, and note any details that could affect the work. Knut sends your description to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer the service.

Costs and Knut’s booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. Customers pay Knut one booking fee when they book: 5% on smaller jobs, tapering to 2.5% on large jobs, and never more than $150.00. The tradie’s quoted price for the work is paid separately. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. Review what each quote includes before deciding which option suits your fencing needs.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Knut matches on the service, area, availability and reviews of the tradie. Fencing does not generally need a trade licence. When comparing quotes, check that each one addresses the work you described, including the type of fencing or gate and any repair requested. Ask the tradie to clarify anything you do not understand before booking. You describe the job once, then can message the tradie and follow progress in one place after booking through Knut. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut for maintenance across many properties.
