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 damage plasterboard wall

$150

Truganina VIC 3029, Australia

28th Sep 2025

Hi, I need help repairing a damaged plasterboard wall at my home. The hole is quite large, around 55cm x 55cm. I’d like the wall to be patched, sanded, and painted so it blends in with the rest of the wall. Looking for someone experienced in plastering/gyprock repairs and painting who can provide a neat and professional finish. Location: Truganina, VIC 3029 Timing: Flexible Job Requirements: • Repair and patch damaged plasterboard (55cm x 55cm) • Sand and prepare the area • Paint the patched section to match the existing wall (you may need to colour match the paint) • Provide all tools and materials (or let me know if I need to supply paint) • Leave a smooth, clean finish

Had a fantastic experience! The plasterboard repair was done to a very high standard—smooth finish, perfectly blended, and you can’t even tell there was any damage before. Communication was great throughout, punctual arrival, and the work area was left clean and tidy afterwards. Really appreciated the professionalism and attention to detail. Would happily recommend and use again for future jobs.

Wiring already in place (just needs mounting + connection). Located near back door, reachable with a standard ladder which I have. 🛠️ Bonus Task (Optional): Trim skirting board.
