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.

Need a renderer

$500

North Melbourne VIC 3051, Australia

19th Jan 2025

There is a damaged brick pier which I will be rebuilding. I need a renderer to render it once brickwork is completed. I have attached photos of the fence. It is the entrance gate pier and a small section past it. There is also about 3 very fine hairline cracks in other parts of the fence which I will need patched. You won't need any colour as the whole fence will be painted after rendering. I need someone who will do a good job and also someone who makes sure they do a nice clean job including taking away any of their rubbish. There will be access to power and water if needed. Job will be ready to go in about 1 week or so

Northcote VIC, Australia

Hello! We are looking to gather some quotes and get an idea of what’s involved for the repair of a few dents and scratches in drywall. We are having trouble getting our bond back and believe these should be fair wear and tear but would like to explore getting them repaired. We would need an invoice for works completed as well as a proper business quote prior to works to be able to send to the real estate agent. Photos attached. A group of 3 photos are of the same place in the house and the other group of 4 photos are from another area of the house. So two small sections of drywall. Thank you so much 😊
