What do tradies 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 contractors to help with home repairs, maintenance, and construction, you can find a tradesman in your area to help with tasks like:

Electrical & plumbing

When you hire a contractor 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 plumber 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 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. Then 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 colored 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.

I approached My Emoko c93 to find my rear tire completely flat. I dilled It back up and tried to locate a leak but was unable to find the source. Only to have my tire go flat again mid ride. I assume It is the tube.

Bathroom Exhaust Fan Replacement (No Attic Access)

$100

San Diego CA, USA

Apr 20th 2025

Hi there, I’m looking to replace an old NuTone bathroom fan with a Broan-NuTone SPK110RGBL ChromaComfort fan (already purchased). This model has an integrated Bluetooth speaker and RGB LED lighting. Site Details: • Located in City Heights. • Bathroom size is ~8.3’ x 5’ x 8’. • No attic access — ceiling-only install. • Existing fan is wired and vented, but the duct size may be 3” (new unit requires 4”). • Ceiling opening will need to be enlarged (existing fan housing is smaller). • Ideal if you’ve worked with this specific model or similar Broan/NuTone units before. Scope of Work: • Remove old fan. • Confirm or update existing duct connection (4” preferred, reducer may be necessary). • Enlarge ceiling cutout as needed. • Connect electrical (standard 120V). • Mount and test the new unit. • Optional: Patch any ceiling damage if significant. Unknowns: • I don’t know the full duct routing (no attic access). • If needed, open to a creative workaround or limited ceiling access in adjacent areas (e.g. closet). Please let me know: • Your estimate range (and what’s included) • How soon you’re available • If you’re licensed/insured • Whether you’ve worked with Broan SPK110RGBL or similar fan models Thanks! ⸻ Let me know if you want this translated to Spanish or tailored further for a specific platform.
