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.

Someone to patch and plaster a section of drywall

$200

Alexandria NSW, Australia

14th Feb 2026

I have removed a set of floating cupboards and the paintwork, and parts of the drywall have peeled away. I would like these sections cleaned up and replastered along with the screw holes filled.

Mount a small bamboo shelf (drywall + electrical caution)

$50

Waterloo NSW 2017, Australia

10th Feb 2026

I need a skilled handyman to mount a bamboo shelf/cabinet with a mirror door onto a drywall (plasterboard) surface. The Specifics: The Item: Bamboo mirror cabinet (Weight: 2-3kg). The Wall: Standard drywall, but no studs are available in the desired mounting area. The Challenge: There are live electrical cables running within the wall behind the mounting spot. Requirements for the Tasker: Detection: You must bring a reliable stud/voltage finder to precisely map the wiring before drilling. Hardware: Since there are no studs, you will need to provide 2x high-quality hollow-wall anchors (e.g., GripIts, heavy-duty toggle bolts, or Cobra WallDrillers) capable of supporting the weight of the cabinet. Experience: Please only bid if you have experience mounting heavy items in "active" walls and are confident in cable avoidance.

Painter / Plasterer Needed – End of Lease Wall Repairs & Touch-Ups

$480

St Peters NSW, Australia

19th Jan 2026

We’re moving out of a rental after 8 years and are looking for an experienced painter and wall patcher / plasterer to help get the walls back to a good, presentable condition. There are various marks, small holes, dents, and scuffs across the house from general wear and tear, hanging items, and a dog (some scratching on doors). This is very much an end-of-lease tidy-up, not a full repaint. The job is for 8 hours total, focusing on getting as much done as possible in that time rather than aiming for perfection. Property details: • 3-bedroom house • House will be completely empty • Walls + some doors need attention What’s included / not included: • ✅ Paint will be supplied (matched and ready) • ✅ Drop sheets provided • ❌ You’ll need to bring your own tools (brushes, rollers, buckets, sanding tools, etc.) • I will patch what I can the day before so it has time to dry Timing: • Monday 2nd February • Ideally 9:00am – 5:00pm (or as close as possible) Important notes: • This job is based on time, not a fixed outcome • We understand that repairs and painting don’t always go perfectly from A → B • Photos of example damage will be attached to give a clear idea of the work involved Looking for someone reliable, efficient, and experienced with end-of-lease repairs.
