Common plumbing jobs
Plumbing requests in Inner Melbourne frequently include leak repairs, toilet repairs and tap replacements. You can also ask for help with a blocked drain or hot water issue. Emergency plumbing is another listed service, but if there is immediate danger to life or property—for example, a gas leak, fire, electrical hazard or flooding—call 000 or the relevant emergency service first. If you manage properties, Knut can also be used by property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams to organise maintenance across many properties.
How to brief a plumbing job
Explain what is happening and where the issue is, and say when you need the work done. For example, note whether the problem concerns a leak, toilet, tap, drain or hot water. Add useful photos if you have them; they can help show the issue when you describe the job. You only need to describe it once through Knut. Knut sends the request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service. Clear details help them understand what you are asking them to quote for.
Quotes and Knut's booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. If you book through Knut, you pay Knut one booking fee at booking: 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. Review the quote for the work it covers before booking.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Plumbing involves licensed work, so Knut only matches the job to tradies whose licence has been verified. When comparing quotes, consider how well each one fits the work you described and check what the quoted work includes. You can book through Knut, then message the tradie and follow progress in one place. If the issue changes or you have more information, use the message channel to clarify the job with the tradie. Knut connects customers with independent local tradies; the tradie carries out the work.
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.
