Kyriakos is one of the best professionals I’ve worked with. He’s efficient, hard working and a great problem solver. He was able to find a solution to complex work where others failed. I recommend him and will work with him again without hesitation. On top of his high quality work, he’s nice and friendly. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would.

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 cracks in a wall
$400
Kew VIC, Australia

Plastering for the crack and patch and paint
$300
Kew VIC 3101, Australia
26th May 2026
Looking for an experienced and detail-oriented plasterer/painter to properly fix several patch repairs throughout a residential property. A previous tasker did this work but the finish is unacceptable — the patches were not sanded flat and the paint was not blended, so the repaired areas are clearly visible (uneven texture, trowel marks, mismatched sheen). Scope of work — all-inclusive: Inspect all affected areas (walls near door frames, wall corners, and ceiling line — multiple spots, photos attached) Where needed, scrape back / cut out the poorly done filler Re-apply plaster/filler properly and build up to a flush, even surface Sand all patched areas smooth so there are no ridges, trowel marks or bumps Spot-prime where required Repaint the patched areas and feather/blend the paint into the surrounding wall so the repair is invisible (no visible patch outline, no sheen difference) Requirements: Tasker to supply all materials, tools and paint Must colour-match the existing wall paint (low-sheen / matt white — please confirm or check on site) Quality finish is essential — the whole point of this job is that the repairs must NOT be visible once done Please only quote if you can do a proper professional finish; include examples of similar work or relevant reviews Budget: $300 (all-inclusive — materials + labour). If you genuinely cannot do a quality job within this budget, please let me know your realistic quote rather than under-quoting and rushing the work. Before payment: I will inspect the finished work in good lighting. Payment released once all patches are confirmed smooth and properly blended. Photos attached showing the current poor finish.
