Common plumbing jobs

Plumbing jobs can range from a leak that needs attention to a toilet that is not working properly. You can also request help with replacing a tap, clearing a blocked drain or dealing with a hot water issue. Emergency plumbing is another listed service. If you are not sure how to describe the problem, explain what you have noticed and where it is happening; the tradie can assess the details. 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.

How to brief your plumbing job

Describe what needs doing, where the problem is, and when you need the work done. Include practical details such as which fixture or area is affected and what is happening—for example, whether you can see a leak or a drain is blocked. Photos can help explain the issue when useful. Mention any relevant access information so a tradie can understand the job before quoting. You only need to describe the job once through Knut. It sends the request to suitable 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 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. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Ask the tradie about anything in the quote you would like clarified before booking.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Plumbing involves licensed work, so check that the person doing the job is appropriately licensed. Knut only matches plumbing jobs to tradies whose licence has been verified. Compare the quotes you receive against the work you described, and ask about any details that are unclear before you decide. Consider whether each quote addresses the issue and the scope you requested, rather than comparing figures without context. When you book through Knut, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place.
