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.

Render one wall

$600

Happy Valley SA 5159, Australia

27th Oct 2026

I have one wall, and two patch jobs that need rendering. I'm pretty handy and happy to help, it's just that I'm a roofer and haven't rendered before. Materials supplied. The wall has 3 doors and 3 windows, and I've managed to do one section, but by myself I feel like this will take two weeks instead of 2-3 days.

Build level timber base for small outdoor sauna (1.8 m x 1.8 m)

$600

Lower Mitcham SA 5062, Australia

23rd Oct 2026

Hi! I'm after a handy person to prepare a site and build a simple timber base for a small sauna that's being delivered soon. The job: - Scrape back a grassed area of about 2 m x 2 m- just scraped back to soil - Lay weed mat with crusher dust or gravel over it. - Build a frame from H4 treated pine to about 1.85 m x 1.85 m outside. Outer bearers sit directly under the sauna walls. - 3 joists across the middle at 450 mm centres, tops flush with the bearers, with galvanised joist hangers or fixings. I'll be replacing the sauna floor later and fixing new plywood to these. - Sit the frame on 9 concrete blocks or adjustable pedestals (corners, middle of each side and centre), whichever suits the slope best. Happy to take your advice on sizing and support. - Make it dead level, with at least 150 mm clearance under the bearers for airflow and jack access. - Mark the sauna outline and the door side on the frame, and supply a few galvanised angle brackets so the sauna can be fixed down after delivery. The ground has a very slight slope so the base needs to be built up on the low side to keep the frame level. The sauna will be lifted onto the frame by the removalist, so I just need the base ready and level beforehand. Optional: please also quote separately for fitting new sauna glass door and replacing the sauna floor once it's in place (cutting out the old floor inside the walls, fitting new H3 structural ply onto the joists, and repairing the door threshold). Lower Mitcham 5062 Budget: $600 including materials. Happy to discuss. Photo of the site attached- currently grass in our back garden & potential timber frame.

Repair snapped outdoor tap fitting in rendered wall

$10

Urrbrae SA 5064, Australia

7th Sep 2026

The outdoor garden tap has broken off at the wall. The brass tap body is intact, but it was threaded into a plastic/poly wall fitting that snapped cleanly at the collar—the sheared threaded ring is still on the tap threads. I have disconnected the irrigation/hose water from another point for now.

Great job done by Shaun.
