What does general labouring include?
General labourers are skilled in a range of maintenance and labour tasks. Many have a trade background with specific skills in one area, while others are happy to work under your direction and provide a willing hand with whatever you’re doing. Here are some of the most common general labouring tasks and what you can expect:
Cleaning and maintenance
Common labouring jobs involve cleaning, especially cleaning up a worksite after tradespeople have finished. They’ll start by clearing out larger debris using a wheelbarrow and shovel, and loading it into a skip or trailer. Next, they’ll sweep the area to remove small debris, dirt, and dust. Finally, they may mop or pressure wash all suitable surfaces (depending on whether it’s inside or outside), paying special attention to any stains, mortar, or grout that’s been left behind.
Trades assistance
While labourers aren’t necessarily licensed tradespeople, they do often help out tradespeople with plumbing, carpentry, and building tasks. Carpenters or builders may get help with removing old structures, moving wood, steadying framework, and other tasks that need an extra pair of hands. Plumbers may need help with cleaning up, moving pipework, and lifting parts. In any case, the licensed tradesperson will oversee the work and ensure it is carried out safely and to a high standard.
Digging holes and trenches
General labouring often involves digging - especially by hand. Your labourer will bring their own shovel and other required tools, or you may supply the tools at the worksite. They may help dig holes for fences, dig trenches for drainage, remove stumps, or level out soil ready for landscaping.
Moving and loading
Your labourer can help move materials from one part of your site to another or load them onto a truck or trailer. These materials could include soil, gravel, roadbase, timber, bricks, paving, garden waste, corrugated iron, rocks, plants, and even furniture. They’ll use a combination of tools, depending on the job, including shovels, forks, wheelbarrows, and gloves.

Labour cost to install cement sleeper retain wall
$800
Eltham VIC, Australia
30th Jan 2022
UPDATED: see below to address questions I have a 9 metre section of my block that needs to be retained. Height will be 1.5m. I’ll purchase all materials just need someone who can install it as I live interstate. Labour will include: - digging holes for H posts - cementing posts - putting sleepers in and securing them to posts Land has been levelled and excavated. Access to the site is easy. The retaining wall is near the front of the block. Soil is typical Eltham soil. However I did live on the block for 4 years and did set a few posts to keep the dog in the yard and in my opinion it was fine with the right tools. I’ll even purchase a drill auger bit for a cordless drill for the job. Makes digging holes very easy. No power on site. Flexible with dates and times as I don’t know when materials will arrive yet.
