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.

Paint, re-render or otherwise seal some old eroded brick

$150

Kambah ACT, Australia

31st Dec 2024

House recently bought, part of the house is on a slope and as such has what I can only assume to be some water erosion of some of the render/underlying brick. Does it just need some paint? Maybe some mortar? Whole new render? Not pedantic, probably just need to stop water getting in. I am looking into getting some additional drainage put in separately.

Good dude, efficient, knows a lot about property maintenance.

Remove dead ivy from rendered wall

$130

Holder ACT 2611, Australia

19th Dec 2024

I pulled some ivy off my wall a year ago and it's left these remains behind. I've had some success removing them with a stiff bristle brush (which you can use) and water. You might have a better technic. Anything is fine as long as it doesn't damage the rendered wall (so I can't use a pressure washer). It'd be ideal if this could be done today (Thursday 19 Dec) or tomorrow before 330pm. Otherwise, still feel free to make an offer and we can find a time. I've captured all of the area in these photos. It's about 12m of wall in total. I have a ladder you can borrow which will lean against the gutter, but if you have a larger A framed ladder you might prefer to bring that for extra stability.

Chris was responsive to my tasking request and had good communication throughout. Thanks Chris!

The shower needs to be waterproofed and the wall that’s warped needs new drywall, skirting and door frame fix

Brad did an excellent job waterproofing my shower and repairing the timber doorframe, skirting, and drywall. He also replaced two toilet cisterns quickly and gave great advice. He was reliable, worked quickly, and the results were fantastic. I’m really happy with his attention to detail and the quality of the work. I highly recommend him.
