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.

I’m installing a new bathroom exhaust fan myself and need someone experienced with plasterboard to adjust the existing ceiling opening.

I need the existing opening reduced and the plasterboard finished neatly so that I can install the new fan afterward. Scope of work: Reduce/modify the existing ceiling opening to suit the smaller fan Add any necessary plasterboard support/backing Patch and finish the plasterboard neatly around the new opening Leave the area ready for me to install the fan Please note: Fan installation, electrical work and ducting are not required. I only need the plasterboard/cavity adjustment and finishing work.

Soundbar install (behind wall wiring + new recess power point req'd)
$300
Cook ACT 2614, Australia
17th Aug 2026
I'd like someone to install my new Soundbar underneath the tv (picture refers). I've managed to hide the power cord behind the tv and want to keep the same look for the soundbar, which will mean having someone poke a hole in the wall and going under the house to feed the power cord back in, behind the tv. It's also likely we'll need another power point behind the TV too, as currently it's just a one plug power point OR an adapter* I have the correct mount, as well as the sound bar. I'd need someone to bring two brush plates to keep the wall in good shape. Note there's only about 2cm gap behind the TV and we may also need to think about a recessed wall box behind the TV OR an ultra-thin flat plug/extension cord for side entry*. *If the latter easier fixes then I'd want to negotiate price down.
Lee helped with a job that seemed straightforward but became more complex as time went on. He handled it really well and we are very pleased with the outcome. I’ll get Lee back and I recommend him highly to others

Gyprocker/Plasterer
$1,100
Kambah ACT 2902, Australia
2nd Jul 2026
Proven professional gyprocker/plasterer to: 1. Gyprock sheet both sides of a sliding door cavity that has been removed and replaced with studs/noggins ready for sheeting. 2. A non-load bearing wall has been removed (4.5m wide *2.7m high) and gyprock sheet required to lhs and rhs and ceiling where wall removed, including adding cornice to both ceiling sides. 3. Replace gyprock sheets to several ceiling holes that were cut out as inspection ports prior to the wall being removed. Gyprock to be left to a very high standard ready for me to paint. Ignore the far wall in the photo with the insulation batts. That won’t be gyprocked as part of this work. Job can be done in 2 parts: Part 1 to be done ASAP sheet old sliding door cavity and lhs of wall where wall removed. To make way for cabinetry install along that wall. Part 2 : remainder of work over next 4 weeks.
AMAZING worker! Nothing to hard. Very easy to deal with. I am blown away by his work ethic. 11/10.

Install indoor sensory hammock, patch holes in roof plasterboard

Trying to hang a sensory hammock for the kids that needs to be fixed into a joist with 2 bolts. Looking for you to also chuck some spackfiller or w/e in the holes I've drilled. I’ve used a stud finder to find what I thought were the ceiling joists, but driving a nail/drill bit through hits air. The roof has a bedroom above it if that provides any useful info.
Fantastic!!!! Showed up within 30 mins of booking, great communication. Job done.
