Roofing in Sydney CBD and Inner East

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

Roofing jobs you can request

Roofing work can range from repairing a section of roof to investigating a leak or fixing a gutter. You can also request a roof replacement or emergency roofing through Knut. When describing the job, say what you have noticed and whether the issue is ongoing or appeared recently, if you know. For a leak, explain where you have seen water entering or damage appearing; for gutter work, identify the section that needs attention. If you manage properties, real-estate agencies, property managers and facilities teams can use Knut to request maintenance across many properties.

How to brief a roofing job

Give a clear description of what needs doing, the job location and when you want the work considered. Photos can be useful: include views of the affected area and any visible leak or gutter issue, if it is safe to take them. Mention what you have already noticed and any relevant details about access or the property. If you are unsure what is causing the problem, describe the symptoms rather than guessing at a repair. Knut sends the request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer the service, so a specific brief helps them assess what you need.

Roofing 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. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Check the quote details and the booking fee before you book so you understand the separate payments.

Choosing and checking a roofing tradie

Compare the quotes received against the work you described, and check what each quote says is included. If something is unclear, you can message the tradie through Knut. Some roofing jobs need a licence or registration depending on the work and the state; Knut applies the relevant check from the job scope. Consider whether the quote addresses the specific issue you reported, such as a roof leak or gutter repair, rather than relying on a broad description. You can book through Knut, message the tradie and follow progress in one place.

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.
