Ken was great to deal with - in the lead up to completing the job and even on the day, when he called to let me know he was on his way. A really nice guy. He was professional, considerate and while he was fast to complete the job, the end result was spot on and am really impressed with the quality of his work. I highly recommend him!

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.

It doesn’t need to be pretty because I’m putting new wardrobes back in the space, so it won’t be seen. Please tell me your experience with installing plasterboard and your availability for today :) I can assist holding it up while you drill it in. Thanks!

Patch drywall damage to walls

$250

Carlton VIC 3053, Australia

9th Mar 2025

Hi there! I've messed up and stuck on some sticky hooks that are not coming off easily. I've tried to remove one and it's peeling off the paint from the ceiling. I've got 4 of these hung up from the ceiling and I need help getting the hooks off and patching the drywall damage. I've got lots of the supplies needed - skim coat polyfilla, 240-grit sandpaper, primer and sample pots of the right colour paint. I don't have adhesive remover but I do have some isopropyl alcohol. You'd need a ladder as the hooks and damage are all on the ceiling. I've attached photos so you can see the size and how bad the damage will be. Happy to pay an hourly rate or discuss. Thank you!!

Sanka is amazing!! So so helpful and efficient, did a great job, went out of his way to help us and is just such a lovely guy. Highly reccommend.
