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.

Folding rolling library ladder and balustrade

$3,000

Stanmore, New South Wales

2nd Jul 2025

We’re looking to get a rolling library ladder installed as a way to access our mezzanine – this ladder will need to be able to be used then should be able to sit flush against a wall when not in use. The mezzanine is currently only accessible via a fold down ladder. We also need a balustrade to edge of the mezzanine off the space so that it’s safer to be up there. The first attached image of the space now and the second is a AI visualisation of the kind of thing we're looking for. We'd be keen to see examples of similar projects people have done. And we're also looking to get quotes for the ladder and the balustrade, and including parts and installation.

Gyprock stud wall (quote to do) - 11m

$50

Newtown NSW, Australia

12th Mar 2025

Quote on gyprocking/plaster to 11m long stud wall. (Budget is just for you to come and quote, feel free to supply a quote for whole job but it’s probably best to see the space first) We are looking for handy-person with gyprock experience to assist us with finishing a renovation project in the coming weeks. We’re looking for someone to gyprock a stud wall, including cornices to ceiling. The wall (non load bearing) is approximately 11m in length, running the length/in front of an existing double brick wall (to conceal cabling/plumbing and create a flat surface). Other things to note: Dates of work: Due to the opening hours of our business, the work will need to be completed between Saturday evening-Tuesday mid-morning at some point over the coming weeks (so ideally, Sat night/Sun/Mon). You will have two trade assistants on site (if needed) or we can stay out of your way and work on other parts of the project. Access to the site is easy, its level 1 rear via a large industrial loading stairway (no bends), with a car park directly behind the building

Chuan was wonderful and very helpful and communicated well.
