Fencing jobs you can request
Knut can help you find tradies for timber fencing, metal fencing, gates and fence repairs in Melbourne South East. A request could be for a new fence, work on an existing fence or help with a gate. When you describe the job, say whether you need installation or a repair and which parts are involved. If you’re not sure what the work requires, explain what you’ve noticed and ask tradies to quote based on that description. You can include photos if they help show the fence or gate and the work you have in mind.
How to brief a fencing job
Give a clear description of what needs doing, the job location and when you’d like the work done. For a repair, explain what is damaged and which section or gate is affected. For new fencing, outline the work you want and any details you already know about the type of fence. Photos can help tradies understand the request. You only need to describe the job once through Knut; it sends the details to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer the service. You can then compare the quotes received.
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. 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. Compare the quotes you receive and check what work each one covers before deciding. The booking fee is paid to Knut at booking, while the quoted work price is paid to the tradie.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. Its matching considers the service, area, availability and reviews of the tradie. Check that the quote describes the fencing work you asked for, including any gate or repair work, and ask the tradie about details you’re unsure of before booking. Fencing generally does not need a trade licence. Once booked through Knut, 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.
