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.

Electrician to fix faulty power point

$80

North Bondi NSW 2026, Australia

24th Mar 2025

It’s only one power point (left) out of the two that’s not working. The rocker switch for that one has been a bit dodgy/floppy (no click when switching from on/off) since we moved in, but it worked fine. Until now. Photo of the switch we need is attached, although we are happy to purchase this ourselves online unless you already have one. Note: there is a light switch in the middle that is in use so it needs this switch

Lovely, prompt, quick. Great job. 100% recommend!

Gyprocker repair around window

$1,000

Waverley NSW 2024, Australia

23rd Nov 2024

we have had a leak repaired and now need the Gyprock sheeting repaired. It is around a window and need clean finishing of the gyprock against the glass. The gyprock needs aligning as the concrete does not line up so a beam needs to be added for the clean look as before. I will attach the original photos of when the place was built and how it should look finished. the length is approximately 7 meters long and 2 meters high and the window is 50cm high and 3 meters long Ideally we want this done before the end of the year and we are flexible with dates or working (you can come weekends as well)

the guy knows his craft. he is a superb at his work and ive never seen anyone work as hard and as confident. highly recommended
