Jim came out at short notice on a Sunday morning to help with this fiddly job and actually needed to get creative with the mounting as the racks mount pointe themselves were not simple to align with the studs. He even patched the drill holes I had made in my attempts to DIY. Will use him again!

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.

Electrician: mount 75” TV, power points & HDMI
$600
Towradgi NSW 2518, Australia
7th Sep 2026
Looking for an electrician for TV wall mounting, with all cables concealed for a clean finish and new PowerPoint. I already have the new 75-inch Hisense TV and Sanus fixed wall bracket, both pictured. The TV currently sitting on the cabinet is being replaced. Work required: 1. Install a new double power point behind the TV cabinet, concealed from view. There is an existing power point nearby on the adjoining wall—see photos. Please leave that existing outlet in place. 2. Install a new power point behind the wall-mounted TV, properly wired and positioned so the outlet and plug do not interfere with the fixed bracket. 3. Supply and install one quality HDMI cable concealed inside the wall, running from behind the TV down to behind the cabinet, with neat cable pass-through/brush plates at both ends. 4. Install the supplied bracket and mount the new TV, securely fixed to suitable wall structure, level and at an agreed height and position. Connect and test everything. Please include any additional person needed to lift and mount the TV safely. The aim is no visible hanging cables, extension leads across the floor or exposed surface conduit. Wall construction and the best concealed wiring route will need to be confirmed. Please quote for the complete job, including labour, electrical materials, HDMI cable, wall plates, fixings, any applicable GST and your Airtasker fees. TV and bracket are supplied by me.
Amazing work, went above and beyond
