Top Tradesman related questions
The average cost of hiring a tradesman ranges from $40 to $70 per hour, depending on your location and the type of tradesman you'll be hiring. Other factors that affect the cost of getting a tradesman include the size of the task, whether you are supplying materials, and the complexity of the job. But in general, most of the work from tradespeople costs between $115 to $400 when hired for a task through Airtasker.
When you post a task on Airtasker, you’ll usually get a fixed price quote. Sometimes, after inspecting the problem, your tradesman may recommend additional work and suggest an hourly rate on top of the original quote.
The most common trades in Australia are plumbing, electrical, and carpentry. These trades are in high demand for their specialist skills and ability to help out with everyday, but high-risk tasks around the home. Specialised tradesmen can also work as a craftsman or an artisan to help with different DIY projects.
Most trades require licences, registrations, and insurance to operate. Each state has its specific licensing requirements for specific skilled workers. This ensures the tradesman has the right skills and knowledge to work safely and to ensure the quality of their work.
The best way to find and confidently hire the right tradesmen in your area is on Airtasker. Provide an accurate description of the task, review your offers, and check the ratings and reviews so you know your tradesman is experienced and will do a great job for your projects.
Hiring a tradesman directly gives you more control over the task, who does it, and how it’s completed. Plus, hiring an independent tradie can often be more affordable because they have fewer overheads - they can give you a more competitive quote.
You can find a local tradesman by using trusted platforms like Airtasker, checking online tradies' reviews, and asking for recommendations from friends or neighbours. Always look for licensed professionals with verified reviews, a clear quote, and experience relevant to the job you need done.
A handyman typically handles general maintenance and small repairs, such as hanging shelves or fixing taps, while a tradesman (or tradie) is a licensed professional with specific training in a trade like plumbing, electrical, carpentry, or tiling. Tradesmen are required for specialised or regulated work.
Yes, most tradespeople bring their own tools and standard materials needed for the job. However, for larger projects or custom work, they may need to source specific parts or request you to supply materials. It’s best to confirm what’s included when you book.
Absolutely. Many tradies are happy to take on small tasks or one-off jobs, such as patching drywall, fixing a leaking tap, or repairing decking. Platforms like Airtasker are ideal for posting these types of jobs and finding a local tradie quickly.

What does a local tradesman do?
Tradesmen (and tradeswomen!) can help you tackle the tasks that need the expertise, tools, and knowledge that only a qualified local tradie can give. Whether you need a trade to help with home repairs or construction, you can find local tradesmen to help with tasks like:
Electrical & plumbing tradies
When you hire a tradie to work with electricity, gas, or water, they’ll need special qualifications, training, and equipment to keep you and your house safe from fires, flooding, and property damage. You’d need to hire an electrician to install your new light fittings or electrical equipment, like ovens. And you’d need a plumbing tradie to help with plumbing tasks, like fitting new taps and pipes, or gas plumbing tasks like installing or repairing heaters and stoves. Your tradie will start by asking questions about the issues you’re having, then they’ll do a physical inspection of the area to assess the work needed. They’ll use their specialist tools and equipment to repair, install, or replace parts to get everything working properly.
Carpentry & cabinet making tradies
Tradesmen are usually qualified professionals, so they’re ideally suited to tasks that need a higher skill level than a handyman. Carpenters and cabinet makers are in high demand for installing new cabinets, custom-making furniture and installing built-in robes and cupboards. They’ll measure your space to ensure the furniture and built-ins fit perfectly and match your existing decor. Then they’ll work with a range of equipment and tools (onsite or offsite) to cut and shape the wood, then assemble any parts to create your finished product.
Home exterior work tradies
Tradesmen can help provide a professional finish to your exterior building tasks. For example, installing or repairing balustrades. Your professional tradesmen will measure, fit and install glass, metal, or wood balustrades to make your balcony area or stairs safe while matching the design of your home. Once they’ve established a safe work zone, they’ll remove the old balustrades before installing the new parts. Another popular exterior task is installing or upgrading awnings. Your tradie can pull down old, broken, or faded awnings and help you choose a new awning to match your house and surroundings. Then they’ll carefully install the new awning so that it is safe and secure.
Concrete repairs & resurfacing tradies
When concrete is damaged, it can create trip hazards, and let in water, dirt and other pests, which can cause further damage. Concrete resurfacing can help repair damage and give your property an instant update with coloured concrete overlays and/or designs. Your tradie will first assess the damage, then repair or replace any broken areas. Then they may clean the existing area with high-pressure hoses or chemicals. Once the area is clean and prepared, they’ll mix up a thin, concrete-based surface compound that will cover the area.

Remove power point
$70
Lane Cove North NSW 2066, Australia
15th Sep 2026
I’m having a built-in wardrobe installed in my spare room/office next week and need an existing power point professionally removed/decommissioned as it will sit behind a new built-in wardrobe. I don’t need it relocated unless the electrician advises this is necessary. Looking for a licensed electrician to come out, assess the best option and complete the work before the wardrobe installation. Ideally looking to have someone also patch the small plasterboard opening after removal - no painting required as it will be covered by the wardrobe. The power point is easily accessible on an internal wall. Happy to provide photos and measurements if needed.
Great experience from start to finish. He was efficient, professional and did an excellent job decommissioning and removing the power point, including patching the wall afterwards. Really happy with the quality of the work and would definitely recommend!

Sauna assembly

Middle Dural NSW 2158, Australia
14th Sep 2026
Need a sauna assembled from the parts after a home move - it is very straightforward and clips together, very similar to this: https://www.luxoliving.com.au/products/harlow-2-person-carbon-fibre-infrared-personal-indoor-sauna?_pos=1&_fid=a11be9fc2&_ss=c All sides are very lightweight except the front door panel which is heavier because of the glass which I can help you put in place - all sides clip together so very little screwdriver work involved. Not more than an hour or so of work.
Excellent work and super polite and lovely person. Would use again for sure!

Looking for a reliable handyman to remove existing blinds and install 3 new curtain rods with curtains (including kitchen area, approx. 2m each). Scope of Work: Remove existing blinds: Unscrew and take down current blinds and brackets cleanly (I will dispose of old blinds). Install 3 curtain rods: Accurately measure, level, and securely mount brackets to plasterboard walls, hang the 3 curtain rods, and attach curtains. Supplied by me: 3x curtain rods, mounting brackets/hangers, and all curtains on-site and ready to go. Tasker to bring: Cordless drill, step ladder, spirit level, and measuring tape. Heavy-duty plasterboard fixings (e.g., WallMates, hollow-wall anchors, or toggle bolts) and a stud finder to ensure all brackets are securely anchored and will not sag or pull loose. Please confirm you have your own tools and suitable plasterboard fixings when submitting your offer.
Great work efficient and friendly!
Mount Large Mirror + Dyson Vacuum to Drywall
$100
Hillsdale NSW 2036, Australia
13th Sep 2026
Looking for someone experienced with wall mounting to complete two small jobs: 1. Secure/hinge a large leaning floor mirror to the wall The mirror is currently leaning against the wall and needs to be safely secured at the top so it cannot fall or tip over. I’d like it to keep its slightly leaning position rather than be mounted completely flat against the wall. The wall appears to be drywall/plasterboard with metal studs. I previously attempted to install the mirror fixing and encountered metal behind the plasterboard, so I’d prefer someone experienced with this type of wall who can determine the correct mounting point and fixings. 2. Wall mount a Dyson cordless vacuum I’d also like the Dyson wall dock/bracket securely mounted so the vacuum can be stored hanging vertically. I have the Dyson mounting bracket/dock. Please bring a drill, stud/wall scanner and any appropriate screws, anchors or fixings required for both jobs.
Kee was great! Friendly, efficient and did a really good job. Would definitely recommend and use him again 😊
Install 2 frameless mirrors on plasterboard wall
$100
Ingleburn NSW 2565, Australia
13th Sep 2026
I need 2 900 × 900 mm frameless mirrors installed side-by-side on a plasterboard wall in my home gym. I already bought the mirrors. They come with brackets & fixings. Requirements: - Mechanically secured with appropriate mirror brackets/fixings - Preferably fixed into studs where possible - Do not rely on adhesive alone, as the wall paint can lift - Mirrors need to sit as flush to the wall as possible because a functional trainer will be positioned directly in front of them - Tasker to supply suitable screws/anchors if required Please quote for installation and let me know your experience installing large glass mirrors.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend Michael. I paid full $140 to install 2 mirrors, but neither was installed when he left. He wouldn't give a clear return date and wanted another $50 to come back promptly. One wall fixing he installed is already pulling out of the plasterboard. When I raised this, he got argumentative, blamed me, and discouraged me from contacting Airtasker. Matter referred to Airtasker.
