Common plumbing jobs
Plumbing jobs can include repairing a leak, fixing a toilet, replacing a tap, clearing a blocked drain or dealing with a hot water issue. Emergency plumbing is also a listed service. When you describe the problem, include what you have noticed and which part of the plumbing is affected. If you are unsure what is causing it, say that rather than guessing; the tradie can assess the job from your description and any useful photos. Knut serves West, including postcodes 3011, 3012, 3013, 3020 and 3025, and sends jobs to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service.
How to brief your plumbing job
A clear description helps tradies understand what you need before they quote. Say whether the job is a leak repair, toilet repair, tap replacement, blocked drain, hot water issue or emergency plumbing, and explain what is happening. Include where the issue is and when you need the work done. Photos can be useful if they show the affected area clearly. If you manage properties, mention which property needs attention; property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can use Knut for maintenance across many properties. You describe the job once, then Knut sends it to suitable tradies who cover West and offer that service.
Costs and Knut’s booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. If you choose a tradie and 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. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. Review the quote and the booking fee before you decide whether to book.
Choosing and checking a tradie
Plumbing involves licensed work, so Knut only matches customers with tradies whose licence has been verified. You can consider the quotes Knut receives and its recommendation, which is based on how well the quote fits the job. Before booking, check that the quote covers the work you described and ask the tradie about anything you are unsure of. When you book through Knut, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place. This can help keep the job details and updates together as the work is arranged.
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.
