Fencing in Inner Melbourne

Knut is preparing fencing coverage in Inner Melbourne. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Fencing jobs you can request

Knut can connect you with tradies for timber fencing, metal fencing, gates and fence repairs. You might be looking to install a fence, have a gate fitted, or get damage to an existing fence addressed. When describing the job, say whether you need a new installation or a repair, and which parts of the fence or gate are involved. If more than one task is needed, include them in the same request so tradies can consider the whole job when preparing their quotes.

How to brief your fencing job

Describe what needs doing, where the work is, and when you would like it done. Include the type of fencing or gate you have in mind, or explain what is already there if you need a repair. Photos can help show the area and the work involved, so add them if useful. Mention any specific requirements or questions you want the tradie to consider. Knut sends your request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service; you only need to describe the job once.

Quotes and Knut's booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. Knut compares the quotes received and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. If you book through Knut, you pay Knut one booking fee at booking: 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 what work it covers.

Choosing and checking a fencing tradie

Knut matches on the service, area, availability and reviews of the tradie. Compare the quotes you receive against the job you described, and check that each one addresses the work you want done. If something is unclear or you need to discuss a detail, you can message the tradie through Knut. Once booked, you can also follow progress in one place. Fencing does not generally need a trade licence, but it is still useful to check the tradie's relevant experience and confirm the agreed work before proceeding.
