Plumbing in South East

Knut is preparing plumbing coverage in South East. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Plumbing jobs you can request

Use Knut to request help with common plumbing work such as repairing a leak, fixing a toilet or replacing a tap. You can also describe a blocked drain or a hot water issue so suitable tradies can consider the job. If you need emergency plumbing, include that in your request. 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 customers with independent tradies; the tradie carries out the work.

Give tradies a clear brief

Describe what needs doing, where the issue is and when you want the work done. For example, explain which tap or toilet is affected, or where you have noticed a leak or blockage. Add photos if they would help show the problem. Include relevant access information and mention any other plumbing concerns you have noticed. A clear description gives suitable local tradies useful context when considering the job and preparing quotes. You only need to describe the job once through Knut.

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.

Choosing and checking a plumbing tradie

Plumbing involves licensed work, so Knut only matches the job to tradies whose licence has been verified. Review the quotes received and consider which one best fits the work you described. If anything in a quote is unclear, ask the tradie about it before booking. Once booked, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place through Knut. 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.
