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.

Fix holes in my wall left by drywall anchors and hang painting

$200

Waterloo NSW, Australia

29th Dec 2025

I’m trying to hang a painting (2m wide) in my living room. The wall is made from plasterboard, but behind that is another material (I think) which is much more solid - maybe concrete? As suggested, I tried using drywall anchors to hang the painting, but while screwing them in, I suddenly hit the solid section of wall (which I wasn’t aware of before) and the anchors would not go any further. Unsure of what to do, I removed them and drilled a small pilot hole through the solid bit and tried screwing them back in. They went all the way in this time, but (unsurprisingly) they felt loose in the wall and one started spinning when I put a screw in it. So now I’m just left with two fairly big holes in my wall. I would like to find a way to salvage these holes and use them to hang the painting but I’m not sure of the best method / screw / anchor type to do that. Someone suggested using a toggle bolt in the existing hole, but I also can’t find a cavity behind the wall. I’m sure there is one but I’d rather not make a bigger mess looking for it. If you think you can help, please let me know. Ideally, I’d like the work done tomorrow (Tuesday 30th), in the morning or midday latest. Wednesday could work too. Please see photos attached for reference. Thanks, Daniel

Rory was great! Punctual, friendly and did an awesome job. Recommended!
