What does a 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 help with home repairs or construction, you can find tradespeople to help with tasks like:

Electrical & plumbing

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

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.

Exteriors

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

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.

Manual retractable awning repair

$350

Maribyrnong VIC, Australia

13th Mar 2024

It is a manual outdoors retractable awning system and the gear eye is broken. Please see attached pictures. I’ve done some measurements, they should be fairly accurate but not exact. Awning Dimensions: Length 490 cm Extends out: 290 cm Gearbox shaft diameter 12mm Pin diameter 4mm The gear eye should have a hole for the turning stick with a minimum width of 12mm. Address: Unit 6 39 Warrs Rd Maribyrnong Vic 3032 Ideally, we would replace the gear eye that’s broken or the gearbox. I do not have the replacement part so the repair person would need to source it. The budget is an estimate and can be finalised once both parties are happy to proceed.

Handyman / tradesman with ladder needed to replace brick vent

$125

Caroline Springs VIC, Australia

26th Nov 2023

I have a vent from my second floor that has fallen off and needs replacing (unfortunately I can’t find the old vent). Some Indian Minor birds have started to make a home in the open vent, so I need it covered ASAP. I have sourced the vent from Bunnings so all you need do is bring an extension ladder and secure it to the fitting using a weather proof adhesive (perhaps PVC glue ?). It’s on the second floor so you’ll need an extension ladder. - Due date: Flexible

Thanks Umesh, good communication and completed as requested.
