Common roofing jobs

Roofing work can range from a repair to a full replacement. Common jobs on Knut include fixing a roof leak, repairing other roof damage, dealing with gutter repairs and arranging emergency roofing. If you are unsure what the issue is, describe what you have noticed rather than trying to diagnose it. Include where the problem appears and whether it is ongoing or has changed. For immediate danger to life or property, such as flooding, call 000 or the relevant emergency service first. For other roofing work, a clear description helps tradies understand what you need and decide whether the job suits their service.

How to brief a roofing job

Give the location and explain what needs doing, when you would like the work done, and what you have observed. For a leak, say where you see water or signs of damage and when you first noticed it, if known. For gutter work, identify the part that needs attention and describe the issue. Photos can be useful if they help show the problem, but do not put yourself at risk to take them. Knut sends your description to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer that service. A specific brief can help them assess the request and prepare relevant quotes.

Roofing costs and Knut's 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. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Review the quote and the work it covers before booking so you understand the proposed job and the separate booking fee.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Compare what each quote says will be done, and ask the tradie about any part of the scope that is unclear 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 for maintenance across many properties. Choose based on how well the proposed work fits your request, rather than assuming every quote covers the same tasks.

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.
