Recent Tradesman reviews in North East Melbourne

Ali did a good job with installing the 5 new double power points in our house. He also pointed out that there was an electrical issue due to the age of the house and because of the dodgy job the previous electrician's had done to this house. He fixed that issue as well for me.

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.

Plasterboard repair + paint colour-match — 3–4 spots, END OF TENANCY

$450

Epping VIC 3076, Australia

26th Jul 2026

Hi, I'm moving out of a rental and need a few interior wall/plasterboard repairs done and painted before handover. Looking for someone who does proper board repair and colour-matching (if possible), not just quick filler — this needs to pass a rental exit inspection. There are 3–4 spots across the property: One is impact damage where the plasterboard has been pushed in/punctured (roughly [football/fist] sized) — likely needs the damaged section cut out and a new board patch set in, taped, sanded and painted. A couple of smaller gouges/holes that need filling, sanding and painting (if possible). One or two edge/corner areas where the surface has lifted. I'll show you all spots on arrival. If possible I would like the finished repairs colour-matched so they blend with the existing paint. Important: ⚠️ This MUST be fully completed (repaired, dried, sanded, painted) by Wednesday 5th August — I hand the keys back Thursday. Please only bid if you can genuinely finish by then, allowing for compound drying time. Please confirm in your offer that you cut and replace board (not just fill). Please bring your own materials and tools; let me know if paint is included in your price or if I need to supply it. Photos attached. Happy to answer questions. Thanks!

Gabriel did a great job matching the paint and going beyond what we needed to fix the property patching before leaving the property. Great job and we'll hire him again.
