Plumbing in Frankston and Peninsula North

Knut is preparing plumbing coverage in Frankston and Peninsula North. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Common plumbing jobs

Plumbing jobs on Knut include leak repairs, toilet repairs and tap replacements, as well as blocked drains and hot water work. If you need emergency plumbing, explain what has happened and where the problem is when you request help. For immediate danger to life or property, such as a gas leak, fire, electrical hazard or flooding, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first. Knut connects you with independent local tradies; it does not carry out the work. You can use the same service to arrange maintenance for a property or to seek help with a specific fault.

How to brief a plumbing job

Describe what needs doing, where the problem is and when you need the work. Include useful details such as whether a toilet is not working, a tap needs replacing, or you have noticed a leak or blocked drain. Photos can help explain the issue if they are useful, but you can submit a request without them. If the job relates to hot water, say that in your description. Clear information gives suitable tradies a better basis for quoting. You only need to describe the job once; Knut sends it to local tradies who cover the area and offer that service.

Costs and Knut's booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. If you book, 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 tradie keeps 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. Review the quote and booking details before deciding whether to book.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Plumbing involves licensed work, so Knut only matches the job with tradies whose licence has been verified. Consider how each quote fits the work you described, and ask the tradie any questions you have about the proposed job before booking. Knut recommends a quote on merit after comparing the quotes it receives; you make the booking decision. When you book 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 to arrange 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.
