What does a 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're looking for a builder, craftsman, or someone with experience in skilled labour, you can find a tradie to help with tasks like:

Electrical & plumbing

When you hire tradesmen 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

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.

Exteriors

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. Using the right tools, they’ll carefully install the new awning so that it is safe and secure.

Concrete repairs & resurfacing

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.

Put tv on drywall

£30

Aston New Town, West Midlands

10th Oct 2026

I need my tv bracket and tv to be on the wall but it’s not a solid brick wall. I’m guessing it’s a plaster board or dry wall. I have the bracket and the tv. I just don’t have any tools.

Really happy with the service! He arrived on time, was professional, friendly and did a great job mounting my TV on the wall. Everything was done neatly and efficiently, and I’m really pleased with the result. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable handyman. Thank you! 😊

Help me dig and clear a hole for sauna foundations

£100

Moseley, West Midlands

7th Sep 2026

Help me follow the AI's instructions to build a hot tub and a sauna for a day. This is the theoretical day for 4-8 hours labourer stuff. The day (8 hours, you + one labourer): 0–2.5 h — clear brambles and deadwood across the footprint + 1 m margin, shred or pile at the back. Meanwhile you peg out the 6.0 × 3.6 m rectangle, check diagonals (~7.0 m), lift the inspection covers and confirm the trench route misses the drain run. 2.5–6.5 h — both dig: ~10–12 m × 600 deep × 300 wide. Turf lifted in slabs onto a tarp first, spoil onto the second tarp. 6.5–8 h — 50 mm sand bed, three ducts in with draw cords, ends taped shut, sand over, warning tape, backfill in tamped layers using sifted spoil, relay the turf. Photograph the open trench end-to-end with a tape in shot before covering — that photo is your services record. Stretch goal only if 2+ hours remain: the root-barrier slot on the bamboo side — same rule, only start it if it can be closed today.
