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.

1st Jun 2025

I've got brick/rendered walls. Need someone to mount four stirrup brackets (see picture) with wall anchors, high up close to the ceiling. I have the brackets, screws and anchors.

Fantastic service and communication. Bibek not only drilled holes in my difficult rendered brick walls; he also helped work out how to achieve the task of hanging shower curtain rods over my very oddly shaped shower-bath. The result: I finally have shower curtains! Thanks so much.

Mount tv to apartment wall (plasterboard with studs)

$85

Kingston ACT, Australia

23rd Mar 2025

I would like someone to mount my tv onto my wall. 📺Tv size:50” 🗜️Mount: supplied ✅ tilt tv wall mount 32”-80”, 600mm x 400mm. 45kg rated. Screws for attaching mount to tv back included. 🧱Wall: plasterboard 🧰Tools: supplied ✅ you are welcome to bring and use your own, but if you need to you can use my DRILL , STUDFINDER, LEVELLER and drill BITS if you need to. 🔩Screws: Please supply the required screws/plugs. ❗️ 📏 ideal mounting height: 76cm from the floor Other information: ❓I have tried using magnets and a studfinder to find some studs but cannot seem to drill into a wooden batten. It is possible that they are thin metal ones which are apparently common with new apartment builds, but I am not an expert. I would like someone who has experience with these kind of walls/set ups, and can mount the tv securely. ⚠️I want to avoid only mounting into the plaster as the tv will sit on the same wall as the front door, so impact/vibrations from that opening and closing is a factor I want to consider. ⏱️ preferred time: as this is located in an apartment complex I will avoid drilling outside 7am and 7pm out of consideration for my neighbours. I look forward to viewing your offers. Thank you 🙂 ➕ I am also seeking someone to drill a 2 bike hooks into a concrete wall, if this is someone you can also do then flick me a message and we can work out a package deal. (As this is concrete you will need to bring your own hammer drill and tools)

Jamal was great, on time, had quality tools and did quality work.

Plasterer to patch up holes

Grateful for a plasterer to patch up ceiling holes, where light fixtures used to be

Paint, re-render or otherwise seal some old eroded brick

$150

Kambah ACT, Australia

31st Dec 2024

House recently bought, part of the house is on a slope and as such has what I can only assume to be some water erosion of some of the render/underlying brick. Does it just need some paint? Maybe some mortar? Whole new render? Not pedantic, probably just need to stop water getting in. I am looking into getting some additional drainage put in separately.

Good dude, efficient, knows a lot about property maintenance.

Handy person to fix two power points and hang picture ledges

$50

Dickson ACT 2602, Australia

31st Dec 2024

I have two power points that have randomly become unstuck. One appears to have just come unstuck from the wall and with the waterproofing bit I can't work out how to put it back in, the switches all work it's just unattached as per the pic. The other one is attached but the button that activated the bathroom fan isn't working, it's like the fan just isn't attached to the button which you can see from the flat button. These are issues in two separate bathrooms for clarity. I also need someone to hang four picture ledges, two sets of two next to each other. Happy if you want to quote just for one of the tasks, I also know it's going to cost more but no idea what so happy for quotes.

I didn't realise I didn't have the screws for the task and Jamal had brought everything I needed. He also had the switch needed to fix my light on hand. Thanks Jamal!

Fix wall crack( plasterboard)

Belconnen ACT, Australia

I have a crack in my plasterboard wall as show in the attached image. Can someone fix it ?

Saima is an exceptional, he puts in a lot of effort to ensure the job is done perfectly, no matter how minor it may be. His dedication was evident as he came over three times to make sure everything was just right. A hardworking and reliable individual who truly goes above and beyond. Highly recommended!
