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.

Camberwell, Greater London, SE5

Just to explain the issue, in February we started getting a leak through our living room ceiling light fixture, it was coming from the patio of the flat above. The flat above is council owned so we contacted them to assess the issue and was informed it was a waterlogged patio. Since then the council have informed us the issue has been resolved. It had caused some internal damage such as slight paint bubbling and damage to the plaster. Potential electrical damage but we have not tried to use the light since leak started. Looking for someone qualified to handle all issues. Repair of water damage, repair of plaster & refit of new lights. Price can be negotiated, as not sure of work cost

Built in wardrobe

£150

Lisson Grove, Greater London

7th Apr 2026

Hi, I’m looking for help to design and build a fitted wardrobe inside an alcove in my bedroom. I currently have an IKEA MALM chest of 4 drawers already assembled and placed in the alcove. Its dimensions are: * Width: 80 cm * Depth: 48 cm * Height: 100 cm The total height of the wall is approximately 225 cm, and I would like to build the wardrobe all the way up to the ceiling. The goal is to create a built-in wardrobe around the existing drawers (not just above), making full use of the alcove space. The task would include: * Assessing the space and advising on what materials/parts I should purchase (e.g. panels, doors, rails) * Building side panels and a top panel to frame the alcove * Installing a hanging rail above the drawers * Installing full-height wardrobe doors  * Ensuring a clean, fitted “built-in” finish This is not a standard flat-pack assembly — I’m looking for someone with experience in custom fitting, wardrobes, or carpentry who can both advise what I should buy and carry out the work. I can share photos of the space and measurements if needed. Please let me know if this fits your experience. Thank you!

Electrician to hardwire sauna heater to existing dedicated circuit

£100

De Beauvoir Town, Greater London, N1

1st Mar 2026

Need a qualified electrician to connect a 4.5kW sauna heater (BC45, 230V single phase) to an existing dedicated sauna circuit. Most of the heavy lifting has already been done by a previous electrician - the circuit is already installed and live in the consumer unit (B32 MCB on its own breaker labelled “SAUNA”), cable has been run from the board to the sauna room, and a Contactum rotary isolator switch is already mounted on the wall. The issue is the previous electrician hardwired the infrared sauna panels but didn’t connect the main stone heater, which has its own separate cable with crimped terminals that needs wiring in. The heater is already in position and ready to go - it just needs connecting to the existing circuit, either into the isolator or junction box that’s already there. Photos attached show the existing isolator and cable run, the consumer unit with the dedicated sauna breaker, the heater’s cable/terminals, and the heater unit itself. Happy to discuss on-site but it should be a relatively quick job given everything is already in place.

Great work - professional
