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.

Folding Arm Awning Installation

$10

Victoria Point QLD 4165, Australia

18th Dec 2025

Hi Brisbane Awning Installalers, We need help with installing 3 folding arm awnings at our place in Victoria Point. Awning details: Awning #1 - 3.0m wide x 2.5m projection Awning #2 - 5.0m wide x 2.5m projection Awning #3 - 3.5m wide x 2.5m projection Attached photo of the house where 5m wide awning to go in the middle section and 3m wide and 3.5m wide awnings on either side. Awning #1 is already installed on the fascia using rafter fascia brackets. However we realise it would be better to have them a but higher, so we need this awning to be installed on roof mount brackets so that it is installed on the roof for having more height. Also, other two awnings will need to be mounted on the roof using roof mount brackets. Listing price is just for the purpose of to have installer come out to have a look and provide a proper quote before going ahead. I have attached the photo of the Awning#1 that's already installed, the other two awnings will be the same but in different sizes as mentioned above. Also attached a picture of roof mount brackets for reference and photo of the side of the house where awnings needs to be installed. Please note: we are sourcing our awnings, so we only need help with installation and maybe with roof brackets but happy to consider going with the ones a per suggestion for our situation. Thanks

Prompt, helpful and friendly.
