Thanks for the nice job repairing cracked render.

Rendering repair

$150

Claire and Wayne are amazing. They installed a variety of different artworks and a large mirror for us, on rendered brick and plasterboard walls. They were extremely professional in their communication in the lead up to the job, on time and installed everything securely and professionally. They cleaned up after the job too. Couldn’t recommend them more !

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.

Plastering!

$65

Carindale QLD 4152, Australia

23rd Jul 2026

I’m needing this plastering finished as soon as possible. I’ve had two handymen mates both start, but because they’re trying to work outside their full time jobs it’s just taking forever, and I really need it finished before Christmas lol. I’ve got most of the materials (not a mixer though!) Plaster tape, knives, trowels, gyprock, adhesive etc. what I don’t have is someone to finish this job 😂 I’m happy with an hourly rate (reflected in my offer price) but also fine if you’d like to do a set price for the job. Let’s discuss 🙂 I have the cornice piece to match and patch the missing cornice, too!

Spencer, Mark and Helen did an incredible job with the plastering work I needed doing. I’d had several others start the job and 5 weeks later it still wasn’t finished! So when at my wit’s end, I posted on Airtasker, found these legends, and they were here the very next day to finally finish this job for me! My only regret is I didn’t find them 5 weeks ago lol. Lovely family run business, will be using again for sure!
