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.

Handrail and Balustrade Painting

$1,000

Windsor QLD, Australia

28th Oct 2024

Handrail and balustrade painting. Please see the pictures for a detailed look at the job. I have circled the areas to paint in blue and have put a red cross through those that don’t need to be quoted on. The following areas need to be painted: • Handrail and bottom rail x 6 (9L/m) • Balustrades x 75 • Posts x 6 (12.6L/m) • 2 lengths of fascia (3.9l/m) • 2 doors All areas are to be painted white except the handrail which is black. All timber has an undercoat on it and requires a minimum of 2 top coats. The stair treads have been oiled so it is really important to avoid dropping paint on them. The holes for the nails and screws will need to be filled prior to painting. Check the pictures for details. What I will provide: • Paint • Gap filler What you will need: • Paint brushes etc • Drop sheets • Putty knife • Sanding materials I am looking for a really neat job. Please allow for an extra hour of labour to cover any extra prep work not listed here. I would love to have this task completed by the end of Friday this week if possible. If you do a good job it may lead to more work down the track. Happy to and answer any questions and send more photos if needed.
