Plastering in Inner South
Knut is preparing plastering coverage in Inner South. Requests and bookings open at launch.
Common plastering jobs
Plastering work can include repairing a damaged wall or ceiling, patching a section, or installing new plaster. The right approach depends on what needs work and how much of the surface is affected. When you describe the job, explain whether you need a small patch, a repair or new plaster, rather than just saying you need plastering. If more than one wall or ceiling needs attention, list each area so tradies can consider the full scope. Knut is newly available in Inner South and connects customers with independent local tradies who offer the service.
How to brief a plastering job
Describe what needs doing, where the property is and when you want the work done. Be clear about whether the job involves a wall repair, ceiling repair, new plaster or patching, and mention every area that needs attention. Photos can be useful: include a clear view of the affected surface and, if possible, a closer view of the damaged or unfinished section. The more clearly you explain the work, the easier it is for tradies to assess the request and prepare quotes. You only need to describe the job once through Knut.
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. Before booking, check that the quote covers the plastering work you described and ask the tradie about anything that is unclear.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Knut matches on the service, area, availability and reviews of the tradie. This trade does not generally need a trade licence, so a licence is not usually the main check for plastering. Read the available reviews and consider whether the tradie's quote addresses the wall repair, ceiling repair, new plaster or patching you requested. Ask questions about any part of the proposed work that is unclear before you book. 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.
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.
