Plumbing in Sydney CBD and Inner East

Knut is preparing plumbing coverage in Sydney CBD and Inner East. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Common plumbing jobs

Plumbing work requested in this area includes leak repair, toilet repair and tap replacement. You can also describe a blocked drain or a hot water issue so suitable tradies can quote on the work. For a problem you consider urgent, explain what is happening and where when you submit the job. 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. Knut connects you with independent tradies; it does not carry out plumbing work itself.

How to brief a plumber

Give a clear description of what needs attention, where the issue is and when you would like the work done. For a leak, blocked drain, toilet or tap problem, say what you have noticed and whether it is ongoing. For hot water work, explain the issue as you understand it. Add photos if they would help show the problem. A useful brief gives tradies information to assess the job and prepare a quote; avoid guessing at a cause if you are unsure. You describe the job once, and Knut sends it 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. Customers pay Knut one booking fee when they book: 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, so review the quote details before deciding. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. The booking fee is paid to Knut at booking, not as part of the tradie’s quoted price.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Plumbing involves licensed work, so Knut only matches jobs to tradies whose licence has been verified. When comparing quotes, consider how well each one fits the job you described and check what work the quoted price covers. Ask the tradie any questions you have about the quote before booking. Once you book through Knut, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut to arrange maintenance across many properties.
