Fencing in South Sydney and St George

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

Common fencing jobs

Fencing work can include installing timber or metal fencing, fitting a gate, or repairing an existing fence. If a fence has a damaged section, describe what needs attention and whether you also need work on a gate. For a new fence, explain what you want installed and where the work is required. A clear description helps tradies understand the job they are being asked to quote on. Knut sends the request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service, then compares the quotes received and recommends the one that best fits the job on merit.

How to brief your fencing job

Set out what needs doing, where the work is, and when you would like it done. Say whether you need timber fencing, metal fencing, a gate, a repair, or a combination of these. Add photos if they help show the existing fence or the part that needs attention. Include any useful details about the work you expect, rather than relying on a short label such as “fence repair”. You only need to describe the job once through Knut. The request is sent to suitable local tradies, and you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place after booking.

Costs and Knut's booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. 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. The fee is paid to Knut at booking; it is separate from the quoted price. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Compare the quotes you receive and consider which one best fits the fencing work you described before deciding whether to book.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Knut matches on the service, area, availability and reviews of the tradie. It compares the quotes received and recommends the one that best fits your job on merit. Before booking, check that the quote relates to the work you described, including whether it covers a gate, fence installation or repair where relevant. Ask the tradie through Knut if anything in the quote or proposed work is unclear. Fencing does not generally need a trade licence, but you can still use the available information to assess whether the tradie and quote suit your job. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut for maintenance across many properties.
