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.

Plastering & Painting After Gas Heater Removal

$5

McKinnon VIC, Australia

11th Jul 2025

I'm planning to replace my old gas wall heater with a split system using the VIC government rebates. The installer I've chosen can remove and decommission the gas heater, but they do not provide wall repair services. I'm looking for a reliable plasterer/painter who can: ✅ Repair the wall after the gas heater is removed (there will likely be a large cavity/hole) ✅ Plaster the area to a smooth finish ✅ Paint the wall (likely the entire wall to ensure color match) Paint: I can supply the paint if needed – let me know your preference Access: Easy access during weekdays or weekends Please feel free to ask for more photos if needed before quoting. Looking for someone experienced, tidy, and with great attention to detail. Thanks!

Paint balustrade

$500

Beaumaris VIC, Australia

Paint outdoor balcony balustrade approx 15 meters long. Paint provided.

Anthony is a good job but didn’t think that we would want the bottom of the balustrade painted so didn’t account for this. I advised was for the whole balustrade, all sides. I’m surprised I would have to specify that. He originally said he’d come at 7.20 but them messaged to say it would be 9.15.
