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.

Screw Colourbond sheeting to mezzanine balustrade
$500
Carrington, New South Wales
21st Apr 2025
I need the colourbond polycarb sheeting (already cut to required size) screwed to mezzanine balustrade. Needs to be done out side business hours after 6pm I'm sorry. Or anytime on Friday public holiday or weekend. All screws provided. Can even provide a drill if you need. It is at a height from a ladder or standing on the mezzanine. I have a ladder but you might be more comfy with your own. Carrington location. I can help pass up sheets, if it's awkward by yourself, etc this week. I'm picking up the sheets on Tuesday from MMM in Beresfield around lunchtime - the pics are some inspiration on what needs to happen and the pictures of the mezzanine is the balustrade that it needs to be screwed on.
Joshua is knowledgeable with building tasks and is proficient. I'm beyond happy with the work Joshua has done for me. It's clean, neat and tidy work.
Paint balustrade on a mezzanine
$400
Carrington NSW 2294, Australia
17th Apr 2025
Paint the balustrade on this mezzanine surfmist. It's mostly primed. It is working at a height so you have to be careful. I have a ladder but you might need another more sturdy one.... I have all the paint and the rollers and brushes all ready to go. All you need is probably a ladder.
Joshua has helped me out and provided a great job when I needed it on a difficult weekend being a public holiday. The work is great and he is a great person to do the job.
