Roofing in Inner East

Knut is preparing roofing coverage in Inner East. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Roofing jobs you can request

Roofing work can range from fixing a leak or repairing part of a roof to replacing a roof. You can also request gutter repair or emergency roofing. When you describe the problem, say what you have noticed and which part of the roof or gutter is involved, if you know. If the issue is not clear, explain what you can see rather than guessing at the cause. For immediate danger to life or property, such as fire, flooding or an electrical hazard, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first.

How to brief a roofing job

A useful request explains what needs doing, where the property is, when you want the work done and any details that may help a tradie understand the job. Add photos if useful, such as images of a visible leak or damaged gutter, but do not put yourself at risk to take them. Mention whether you are seeking a repair, replacement or an assessment of a problem. Clear details help suitable tradies consider the work and prepare quotes. You can submit the job description once through Knut.

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. The tradie’s quoted price for the work is paid separately from Knut’s fee. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Compare the quotes you receive and consider what each covers before choosing. Knut compares received quotes and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit.

Choosing and checking a roofing tradie

Read the quotes and check that they address the work you described. If anything is unclear, ask the tradie for more detail before booking. Some roofing jobs need a licence or registration depending on the work and the state. Knut applies the relevant check from the job scope. 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 organise 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.
