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.

Help us turn a wooden shed into a sauna
$2,800
Coburg VIC 3058, Australia
28th Mar 2026
We have a very cute wooden shed in our backyard but it’s just gathering dust. We’d love it to turn it into a home sauna. We have done lots of research, however don’t have the building skills to DIY this ourselves. we need to : - Seal the eaves/roof of the current shed - remove some of the shelves, etc that are in there already.( hopefully some of these materials can be used to build the seats.) - maybe replace 2 existing windows, unless we can get the glass replaced with tempered glass. - line the interior with special insulation and heat reflective foil - line with wooden planks - Remake the seats We will do all the sanding and painting, etc and organise the electrician separately. Would hopefully love to find someone who has ever made a sauna before if that’s at all possible! Otherwise we anticipate it would be about three-four full days work all things going well

Plasterer required: Remove cables from wall, and plaster for painting.
$250
Prahran VIC 3181, Australia
10th Feb 2026
Hi Airtaskers, I recently had some electrical cables disconnected (for wall lights). They were installed before I got the place, and are covered by plaster. I need the cables removed and the gap then plastered over. See the images attached. I don't know exactly how far the cables come down, but the diagram attached is my best guess, based on the marks on the wall from the original plastering. I can confirm that my electrician has completely disconnected from the light switch. Thank you in advance.
Personable, happy guy with a great attitude. Will definitely use again!

Quote: Bathroom fan replacement, install of power point and TV mount
$100
Richmond VIC 3121, Australia
3rd Feb 2026
I have a failed inline ducted ceiling fan in a bathroom needing replacement. It's not hardwired - believe it's a standard 10A socket. You'll need a tool to open the manhole to get access and remove it. A large flathead screwdriver may suffice. (See first photo) Seeking install of power point and TV bracket in bedroom where ceiling meets wall above mirror. Either on the ceiling or wall. (See second photo) Price is for inspection, removal of fan and quote only. Further work will be agreed between parties. Must be licensed and insured.
Good communication, friendly and easy to deal with.
