Common plumbing jobs
Plumbing jobs on Knut include repairing leaks, fixing toilets, replacing taps, clearing blocked drains and addressing hot water issues. You can also request emergency plumbing help. If you are unsure how to describe the problem, explain what you have noticed and what you need fixed; a photo can help show the issue. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut to organise maintenance across many properties. Plumbing involves licensed work, so Knut only matches these jobs to tradies whose licence has been verified.
How to brief a plumber
Give a clear description of what needs doing, where the issue is and when you would like the work done. For example, say whether you need a leak repaired or a tap replaced, and describe what you have observed. Include photos if they would help explain the job. Mention any relevant details you already know about the problem, without guessing at its cause. Knut sends your request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service, so a specific brief helps 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 one booking fee to Knut: 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. You can message the tradie and follow progress in one place after booking.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Review the quotes you receive against the work you described and consider which one best fits your job. If anything in a quote is unclear, ask the tradie for clarification before booking. Plumbing is licensed work, and Knut only matches it to tradies whose licence has been verified. Once you book through Knut, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place. 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.
