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.

Installation: Services Rendered

$2,000

Eltham VIC, Australia

11th Oct 2024

We’ve purchased an IKEA kitchen and are ready for installation. The job will involve cutting the wooden benchtop to size (Bunnings is just a 5-minute drive from our home). The old kitchen has already been demolished, and the new kitchen has arrived in flatpacks, ready to be installed. We’re located in Eltham and would like to discuss the project briefly before providing you with the keys. We’ll be away from Saturday to Tuesday and are looking for someone experienced with high ratings who can complete the job between 12 and 15 October while we’re away. The kitchen is fully ordered to size and currently in boxes. We have a new gas cooktop, but we’ll be reusing the existing oven and dishwasher. The benchtops are IKEA wooden slabs that will need cutting, which can be done at Bunnings nearby.

Frank assembled our IKEA kitchen from scratch and did an impeccable job, going above and beyond. He offered valuable advice on our other ongoing construction projects, using his experience to likely save us time and prevent mistakes. Frank is generous with his time and has an incredible attention to detail. We even entrusted him with our house keys while we were away, and returned to a beautifully finished kitchen.
