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.

$100
Nunawading VIC 3131, Australia

Looking for someone experienced in plasterboard repairs and insulation removal at my townhouse in Forrest Hill. A dead rodent was removed from the insulation behind a light switch 2 weeks ago and treated with disinfectant from professional, but a persistent odour remains. I need the affected insulation removed and the plasterboard repaired (painting will be done by us).

Electrician to remove wall light and power point and fit blank plate
$300
Wantirna VIC 3152, Australia
12th Oct 2026
Looking for an electrician to complete some electrical work on an internal feature wall in my home before a decorative wall mural is installed. Please refer to the attached photos of the wall. Scope of work: 1. Remove existing wall light fitting: Safely disconnect and remove the existing light fitting from the wall. Make the wiring safe and terminate and insulate it in accordance with Australian electrical standards. 2. Install flush blanking plate: Fit a neat, flush, paintable blanking plate over the existing light outlet, junction box or wall opening, as appropriate. The finish needs to be as low-profile and unobtrusive as possible so the wall mural can be installed neatly over or around it. 3. Remove existing power point: Safely disconnect and remove the existing wall power point, including making the wiring safe and appropriately terminating it. Install a suitable absolutely flush blanking plate to cover the opening, leaving a neat finish for the mural installation. 4. Install LED strip lighting: Supply and install approximately 3.5–4 metres of LED strip lighting along the bottom of the feature wall, above the skirting board or at the wall–floor junction, as appropriate. I’m looking for a clean, discreet installation with an even, warm-white glow. 5. LED installation details: Please recommend a suitable LED strip, aluminium mounting channel/diffuser if required, and an appropriate driver/power supply. Ideally, the installation should have concealed wiring and a neat finish, with no visible cables. Please advise on the best location for the led, driver and switching arrangement. Please quote for the complete job for supply and install and advise your earliest availability.
