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.

$150

Beaconsfield NSW 2015, Australia

7th Oct 2025

I need an experienced person (or team) to carefully dismantle and reassemble a 3-person Found Space sauna and move it literally next door — about 20 steps away. The job needs to be done ASAP. Here’s what’s involved (essentially the reverse of this video: YouTube link): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgsmWnB5Xfc Steps: • Remove the glass door first (must be done before anything else) • Disconnect all cables from the control box that run through wall cavities • Unscrew the roof • Unscrew and remove front heaters • Lift off the roof • Remove the glass panels • Disassemble the bench and under-bench heaters • Unscrew and separate the back panel You’ll then need to reassemble it in the adjacent room, ensuring it’s level, stable, and the electrical components are correctly reconnected. Requirements: • Must have experience assembling or moving infrared or similar saunas • Must have your own tools and basic electrical understanding • Ability to handle glass safely This is a quick but delicate job — ideal for someone who’s handy with furniture or appliance assembly and available immediately.

Touqeer was amazing , very professional, fast, and did great work. Couldn’t be happier with the result and would definitely hire him again.
