Common plumbing jobs

Plumbing jobs can range from fixing a leak or repairing a toilet to replacing a tap or clearing a blocked drain. You can also request help with hot water work or emergency plumbing. If water is escaping, say where the leak is and whether you can see or reach it safely. For a blocked drain, note which fixtures are affected and what you have noticed. Include photos when they help show the issue, but do not put yourself at risk to take them. If there is immediate danger to life or property, such as a gas leak, fire, electrical hazard or flooding, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first.

How to brief a plumbing job

A clear description helps tradies understand what you need and prepare a relevant quote. Say what needs doing, where the problem is, and when you want the work done. Include useful details such as which tap or toilet is affected, whether a leak is ongoing, or whether the hot water has stopped working. Photos can help show the affected area or equipment. If you manage a property, identify the property and explain any access arrangements or relevant contact details. Knut sends the request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service, so include enough detail to distinguish the job from other maintenance needs.

Costs and Knut's booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. When 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. 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. Review the quote and what it covers before booking so you can decide whether it matches the work you described.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Plumbing involves licensed work, so Knut only matches customers with tradies whose licence has been verified. Read the quote carefully and check that it addresses the work you requested. If a detail is unclear, ask the tradie before booking; you can message the tradie through Knut and follow progress in one place. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut to organise maintenance across many properties. When comparing options, focus on how well each quote fits the job and whether the proposed work is clear. Knut's plumbing service is newly available in Northern Beaches Sydney.
