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.

Demolition - Rip out 30m2 stucco render walls

$650

Clayfield QLD, Australia

27th Dec 2024

I'm demolishing my house and needs assistance with removing approximately 30m2 of stucco rendered onto VJ timber using chicken wire. Area 1 - Approximately 6m2 of stucco render at a height ranging from 2.5m to 4m above floorboards. Area 2 - Approximately 16m2 of stucco render at height ranging from 1.2 to 3.5m above ground level Area 3 - Approximately 8m2 of stucco render at height ranging from 0m to 2m, working on a platform placed on a roof. For extra safety the beams at this location will be propped up by acrow props to ensure the roof can take the weight of a worker. I can provide an extension ladder and Zippy Scaff (pictured) and can also be on site to assist with anything. You are free to do the work how you like, but the most common method i've seen for this task is to use a diamond blade on a battery powered angle grinder (no power to site) to make cuts of approximately 1m2 into the stucco render, then rip it out section by section with a wrecking bar or crow bar (which I can provide). There is no need to dispose of the stucco after it is ripped off. Safety is a high priority at this site and I can provide certificates to confirm that asbestos has been removed and testing undertaken of unknown substances. The successful applicant will need to be comfortable standing on a ladder at heights of 3-4m.
