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.

Small roof leak from ages. Roof leak is fixed now. It damaged a portion of plaster and have paint cracks in the beam. Not sure if any damage to the timber. I was planning to go through insurance initially, but the claim didin't go through. I have a scope of works from them. Please quote for paint and plaster as per the scope. I need it to be done asap. I am not sure of the costs. Just putting a random number. There are some other minor works in the house unrelated to painting. i.e. cracked bathroom cabinet and broken tile etc. If someone could do all these tasks, that would be even better

If possible would also like you to remove the two pieces of wall trim and replace with the single piece supplied. "Item 1 - Right Wall" - Hole is 150w by 100h, but the damaged area is 200mm at widest point by 2200h.

Hole requires patching and made ready for painting. ========================================== Item 3: Replace Cornice 60mm cornice needs replacing and made ready for painting. Note in a few places the ceiling isn't flat. The doorway wall is 1775w, the smaller wall is 575w. The black hooks will be removed before you come. ========================================== Can provide more photos if anything isn't clear. Requirements: Experience with plaster repairs Use proper method (fill, tape if required, sand and smooth) Bring your own tools and materials Leave the surface ready for painting Location: Berwick Flexible with timing but would like the job done soon.
