Tyson, was prompt, responsive and very good with the task. We needed an awning installed which seemed like an easy task but ended up bring quite complicated. He even went to bunnings to get extra screws which were needed. Even thought the job took far longer than anticipated, he was cheerful and trying to get the best outcome for us. Highly recommend him!

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 need help with home repairs or construction, you can find tradespeople to help with tasks like:

Electrical & plumbing

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

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 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.

Minor render repairs

$200

Carnegie VIC, Australia

23rd Apr 2024

We have a minor render / mortar repair that needs to occur. The damage occurred when the shutter installer cut the render away for the install. We can have that shutter guide removed if that will make the minor repair easier to complete. The first two photos is the LHS. The next photo is a photo of the wall before the shutter was installed. The last photo is the RHS guide. Repairs required to small damaged sections of render each side of one roller shutter. Render to only the pre-rendered sections. Face bricks below stay the same. Also trowel render into the gap between the back of the guide and brick (see pic Render 4)

Concrete my front verandah

$2,000

Bentleigh East VIC, Australia

18th Apr 2024

Our front verandah needs some TLC. The area is approximately 2.5 x 5 metres. The area had thick outdoor tiles from the 70's that I had to jack hammer out. I managed to retain half the concrete that was underneath. I am looking to have exposed aggregate or permeable stone be applied to that area - Open to suggestions. I want to also have that applied to the steps too. Half the verandah has a concrete slab while the other half was destroyed from the Jack hammering. See attached photos. Let me know what you think

AJ is incredibly impressive, the attention and detail to the job of removing our existing waterproofing seal was far more than I expected, we have the result that we need. Was incredibly polite, easy-going and in fact I felt like a relative. He took so much Care. I recommend giving him a go. He’s an awesome young guy doing a really great job! Wendy 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Fix render on exterior of property

$200

Glen Huntly VIC, Australia

10th Apr 2024

We had our balcony re waterproofed and tiled. During the removal of the old tiles some of the exterior cladding was impacted and broken off. We’re not looking for a perfect match in colour just a tidy up and patch job of the areas that are exposed. I will most likely paint over it anyway so will just require the repair work done. The tiles can be popped up as they sit on pods.

Great guy, very friendly and informative

I have purchased and assembled the Windoware awning from Bunnings. It is assembled.

The job is installing the brackets (four holes into brick and fixing the brackets) and then fitting the blind is literally lifting it into the bracket and fastening the bolts. I’ve attached photos of the instructions and the assembled blind so you know what you’re working with - Due date: Flexible
