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.

Courtyard wall repair/rendering and waterproofing
$9,999
Melbourne CBD VIC 3004, Australia
1st Nov 2025
I’m seeking a quote to repair and waterproof a damaged rendered courtyard wall at my apartment (Melbourne, 3004). I have only recently purchased this apartment, and there is unfortunately damage to the rendered courtyard wall, including bubbling, cracking and green discolouration (hidden by the agent with staged furniture during inspections).The render is bubbling and lifting in multiple areas, and there are visible cracks and moisture staining. I’ve attached photos showing the condition. The total length of the courtyard walls are 12.6m (rear wall) + 4.3 m (left) + 4.3 m (right) = 21.2 m total. I'm seeking quotes for: • Removal of all damaged and delaminated render • Drying and surface preparation • Application of a waterproof membrane • Re-rendering and repainting with a suitable exterior membrane coating • A warranty for the work done **I need a properly itemised quote that you can provide in writing, as i will be seeking reimbursement via VCAT as the agent hid this damage during inspections** Airtasker will not allow me to enter a budget higher than $9999 but please quote as required - I would like the work done properly.

I’d like someone who can inspect it, diagnose the problem, and advise on what’s needed to repair or replace components if required. The sauna is located in Armadale. I’m flexible with timing weekdays or weekends are fine. Please bring your own tools and testing equipment.

Small welding job on trailer
$200
Elwood VIC, Australia
29th Sep 2025
I have an older tradie trailer that needs a repair to one of the hinges (see pictures). The hinge has rusted away.As a result, there's a small hole and the door doesn't shut properly. I am looking for someone to repair the broken bit.
Sebastian did some welding on a small tradie trailer that we bought second hand for camping. He helped by patching holes that had rusted away and advising on what else we could do. He was responsive and helpful and I appreciated not having to tow my trailer to a shop to have it fixed.
