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.

Repair Small Exterior Render Hole & Match Texture/Paint (Palm-Size)

$50

Seacombe Gardens SA, Australia

6th Dec 2025

Hi, I need help repairing a small palm-sized hole on an exterior wall. The damage is not deep and hasn’t affected the wall structure — only the outer render/texture layer has cracked and fallen off. It looks like it might be Tyrolean / textured render, but I’m not completely sure, so I need someone with experience to identify the correct material, repair it, and make the surface look consistent with the rest of the wall. What I need: • Patch and rebuild the render layer • Match the existing texture (rough exterior finish) • Apply suitable exterior paint / texture coat • Minimise colour difference as much as possible • A clean finish where the repair is not noticeable Looking for: • Someone experienced with exterior render, texture coating, and small patch repairs • Able to supply the right render/texture materials • Reliable, tidy and professional Flexible with time — anytime before Christmas is fine :)) Please send me a quote and your availability. Thanks!

2 power points, 1 light, 2 LED strips. Quote by SMS/email

$1,300

Port Noarlunga SA 5167, Australia

6th Jul 2025

Looking for a licensed electrician to complete a few small installations in a single-storey home (built in 2021) in Port Noarlunga. Building plans can be provided if needed. Scope of work: Install 1 GPO with TV antenna socket in a bedroom (existing antenna already in place — this is just an additional outlet). Install 1 ceiling light point with switch in a small hallway (currently no existing light). Install an LED strip light in the alfresco ceiling recess, projecting upward to provide soft indirect lighting. Install 3 or 4 ceiling-mounted light points in the garage, projecting light upward. This replaces the previous plan for LED strip lighting in that area. All work must comply with relevant electrical standards, and a compliance certificate is required upon completion. Please note: I prefer to be contacted by SMS or email, as I’m not always available for phone calls during business hours. Only licensed electricians will be considered. Thank you

Paul and his wife did a great job — clean, efficient and everything done as discussed. Communication was easy throughout, and they were flexible and reliable. Would definitely recommend.
