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.

Rendering/ painting alfresco pillar plus some finishing and painting

$700

Nairne SA, Australia

27th May 2026

I need some finishing up work done on my alfresco area which was altered. Rendering and painting of a pillar with blueboard. Also finishing and painting of part of the ceiling. The down pipe shown is not glued and easily removed and put back upon completion. There is also some touch up work (unsure if best treatment) of a part of my exposed house slab which is showing some poor workmanship where the house splits. Happy to pay well (within reason) for the right person. Needs to be handy with render work for a nice confident finish. I already have paint for the finishing part. Don’t take much notice of budget selected as not sure and happy to talk about price more with the right person. See pics attached

Review property for advice: Additional Power Points and Ethernet port

$10

Mount Barker SA 5251, Australia

22nd May 2026

I recently moved into a Metricon Display home. It is lacking in some power points in areas we would like: - Ensuite toilet room - Second toilet room - Buttlers pantry - Spare room (including ethernet port as this will be the study) - Possibly main hallway Optional but not part of this quote: - One outdoor point in patio

Move two power points about 10cm.

$130

Wayville SA, Australia

19th May 2026

There are two double power points that need to be about 10cm higher on the wall. One also needs to be moved a few cms horizontally. I don't believe additional wiring is required; existing wiring will be shortened. Two blank plates required to cover existing holes.

Good work, neat job.

External wall rendering retouch

$400

Athelstone SA, Australia

14th May 2026

Needing to touch up gaps of render since we’ve had a verandah renovation. Needing Dulux acrylic render to match the current texture (see pics - want some texture of the brick to still come through). Our previous renderer isn’t available for 6 weeks but we are wanting the job completed asap so are seeing if anyone is able to help out. Isn’t a massive job as the walls are just those pictured out the back of our place plus around 2 small outdoor lights where the fixing plate attaches to the wall. Only wanting people with experience please as we’d like the texture to match as close as possible. Thanks so much!

Great renderers. Very efficient with the job, great attention to detail, hardworking and no fuss
