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.

Measure an awning lightbox sign. Then cover in black gaffer tape.

Sydney NSW 2010, Australia

21st Oct 2026

Use a ladder to access a sign in front of our shop. Remove the perspex, measure the perspex, cover old sign in black gaffer tape, then replace back in light box. The sign says "Unique Fabrics" (see photo). I can't tell you how the perspex comes out but I would assume there are screws holding some metal over the perspex.

Mount Large Mirror + Dyson Vacuum to Drywall

$100

Hillsdale NSW 2036, Australia

13th Sep 2026

Looking for someone experienced with wall mounting to complete two small jobs: 1. Secure/hinge a large leaning floor mirror to the wall The mirror is currently leaning against the wall and needs to be safely secured at the top so it cannot fall or tip over. I’d like it to keep its slightly leaning position rather than be mounted completely flat against the wall. The wall appears to be drywall/plasterboard with metal studs. I previously attempted to install the mirror fixing and encountered metal behind the plasterboard, so I’d prefer someone experienced with this type of wall who can determine the correct mounting point and fixings. 2. Wall mount a Dyson cordless vacuum I’d also like the Dyson wall dock/bracket securely mounted so the vacuum can be stored hanging vertically. I have the Dyson mounting bracket/dock. Please bring a drill, stud/wall scanner and any appropriate screws, anchors or fixings required for both jobs.

Kee was great! Friendly, efficient and did a really good job. Would definitely recommend and use him again 😊

Mount a 75 inch Samsung Frame TV on Gyprock wall

$100

Mascot NSW 2020, Australia

8th Sep 2026

Looking for an experienced TV installer/handyman who has specific experience with the Samsung Frame TV to wall mount a 75-inch Samsung Frame TV using the Samsung Frame wall mount. Our priority is to achieve a clean, flush-mounted look with as little visible cabling as possible, while also minimising unnecessary holes, screws or modifications to the wall. The existing power/data outlets are located on the wall at approximately TV height, rather than being concealed behind the TV unit/cabinet below. The Samsung Frame also uses a One Connect Box, which will need to be accommodated. Photos attached show: - the Frame TV installed at our previous property; and - the wall and cabinetry at the new property where it is to be installed. We are open to the installer's recommendations on the best way to mount the TV and manage/conceal the One Connect cable and box. We would prefer a solution that balances: - a flush and clean installation with minimal/no visible cables; - minimal drilling, wall penetrations or other permanent modifications; - safe and secure mounting of the 75" TV; and - practical placement of the One Connect Box, ideally concealed in/around the cabinetry if feasible. Please include in your offer how you would propose installing the TV and dealing with the One Connect cable/box given the location of the existing outlets. We already have the Samsung Frame wall mount and also have a general TV mounting bracket available if useful.

Great service - very knowledgeable with technologies

$300

Rosebery NSW 2018, Australia

2nd Sep 2026

Looking for an experienced plasterer/gyprocker to complete a small repair in the ceiling around a recently installed ceiling fan in our master bedroom. As shown in the photo, there is a rectangular section of plasterboard around the ceiling fan which was cut to install a support beam for the fan. The job is to: * Patch/reinstate the plasterboard around the ceiling fan * Tape/set/plaster as required * Sand smooth and flush with the existing ceiling * Leave the repaired area ready for us to prime and paint ourselves * Protect the bedroom/flooring from dust and clean up afterwards Ceiling height is approximately 3.9 metres, so you’ll need to provide your own suitable high ladder/platform/access equipment. Please include all plastering materials and access equipment in your quote. No painting required. Looking for a neat, professional finish with the repaired area flush and ready for painting.

Peter was efficient and completed the task to a high standard.
