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.

$500

Mountain Creek QLD 4557, Australia

We’re seeking a skilled and detail-oriented plasterer to help convert a recessed nook in our living room into a custom built-in dry bar.

Scope of Work: • Modify the existing square-set recess (approx. 120cm wide x 210cm high x 60cm deep) to include an arched top/ceiling and curved opening. • Apply high-quality plaster finish to all interior surfaces (including arch) in preparation for painting and cabinetry installation. • Ensure the final finish is clean, flush, and integrates well with existing walls and ceiling.

Hi We’re selling our house and are considering getting some wire balustrading fitted to replace the existing mesh. (See photos.) It’s an unbudgeted cost, but we think will help to sell the place. There’s probably about 20-30m needed and will obviously need to comply with regulations. Are you kindly able to visit the property in Maroochy River and provide a quote? Thanks for considering.

$500

Alexandra Headland QLD, Australia

5th Jun 2025

The awning currently goes out OK with the remote, but retracting is not working - motor just hums. easily accessible from a deck. the fabric has been replaced recently, so we would prefer to repair rather than replace. No brand visible.

Austin was cheerful and efficient and overcame some compatability issues to replace our awning motor as per his quote.

Sparky/Carpenter Needed To Finish Sauna

$500

Noosa Heads QLD, Australia

2nd Apr 2025

Hi there, I am looking for a handy electrician who can finish putting together the internal components of our sauna. I have been told it will take a couple of hours. But I would allow maybe four hours to be safe. It is a new model with not very detailed instructions, as it is the first one to have been sold, but you can check out this video. It is only the internal part that needs to be finished. Power is in place, just the internal components to be put together and the seating. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1u8iIB-4qpGHpQtHwUonhvQOos5agAeMm?usp=drive_link

Michael has been fantastic to work with. Absolutely five stars all the way. Thank you.

I have a small warehouse bathroom where there is a little section of ripped paint from a bathroom mirror being glued on and a couple of screw holes left from a soap dispenser.
