"After one assigned seperate tasker (Airtasker need to screen potential personnel) not having the common courtesy to follow up on the job - eventually it was Alick who had the decency to see it through. Alick was professional, polite, punctual and left the job site clean. Superior workmanship to the highest standards which was efficiently done in a minimal amount of time! No hesitation in highly recommending Alick to anyone in need of any tasks."

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 Hand Needed in Mansfield Warehouse

Hi all, I need to hire a labour hand for today (31 January 2023) to give our technician a hand for moving the pipes from ground level to our cantilever racking arms or to trestles, then help him to pack the pipes into PVCs. You need to be fit for work to perform this task. The workplace is in Mansfield and this job needs to be done until 4pm today. This is a very basic task, no qualifications required, purely labour work, that's why I don't expect to see any unrealistic offers. Note: Please also don't make any offer if you plan to change your mind in the last minute and if you are not willing to turn up the job at the last minute.
