Common plastering jobs

Plastering jobs can include repairing a damaged wall or ceiling, patching smaller holes and marks, or fitting new plaster. The right approach depends on the size and condition of the area and what finish you need. When describing the job, say whether it’s a wall or ceiling, how much needs attention and whether you’re looking for a repair, patch or new plaster. If you’re unsure which type of work it needs, explain what you can see and ask the tradie to clarify what their quote covers.

How to brief your plastering job

Give the location, a clear description of the work and when you’d like it done. Photos can help show the affected area and its extent; include a wider view as well as close-ups if useful. Mention whether the work is on a wall or ceiling and whether you’re asking for patching, a repair or new plaster. If there are several areas or properties to deal with, list them separately so tradies can understand the scope. 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. 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. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit; check what each quote includes before booking.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Knut matches on the service, area, availability and reviews of the tradie, then compares the quotes received for your job. Read the quote carefully and check that it describes the areas and work you asked about. Ask the tradie to clarify anything that’s unclear before you book. This trade does not generally need a trade licence. After booking 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.
