Top Tradesman related questions
The average cost of hiring a tradesman ranges from $40 to $70 per hour, depending on your location and the type of tradesman you'll be hiring. Other factors that affect the cost of getting a tradesman include the size of the task, whether you are supplying materials, and the complexity of the job. But in general, most of the work from tradespeople costs between $115 to $400 when hired for a task through Airtasker.
When you post a task on Airtasker, you’ll usually get a fixed price quote. Sometimes, after inspecting the problem, your tradesman may recommend additional work and suggest an hourly rate on top of the original quote.
The most common trades in Australia are plumbing, electrical, and carpentry. These trades are in high demand for their specialist skills and ability to help out with everyday, but high-risk tasks around the home. Specialised tradesmen can also work as a craftsman or an artisan to help with different DIY projects.
Most trades require licences, registrations, and insurance to operate. Each state has its specific licensing requirements for specific skilled workers. This ensures the tradesman has the right skills and knowledge to work safely and to ensure the quality of their work.
The best way to find and confidently hire the right tradesmen in your area is on Airtasker. Provide an accurate description of the task, review your offers, and check the ratings and reviews so you know your tradesman is experienced and will do a great job for your projects.
Hiring a tradesman directly gives you more control over the task, who does it, and how it’s completed. Plus, hiring an independent tradie can often be more affordable because they have fewer overheads - they can give you a more competitive quote.

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.

Make and install Awning
$600
Ermington NSW, Australia
13th May 2024
I need awnings done because of the rain. I have attached pictures of the house and also the style of awning I want. The front of the house has double doors and there’s no awning so the rain gets in. The material of the house is bricks that had popcorn wall on it which was rendered. As you can see in the photos, the top of the door and the roof are very close together and there’s not much space so I’m not sure if the awning is possible, please let me know. If not possible, please suggest an alternate way.

Render poorly patched holes in wall
$200
Ashfield NSW, Australia
27th Apr 2024
We hired a sealer to come patch holes from recent electric and plumbing work. We did this so that we could repaint and with a fresh wall as we are installing new kitchen. I am pretty sure the work the tiler/sealer did is very poor and not up to scratch. (See photos) Unfortunately we are only adding a new kitchen because we discovered hidden water damage after purchasing our first apartment. The cabinets get put in Monday so we would need help tomorrow. I am 3 weeks from delivering my first baby so it’s all quite stressful. Please let me know the amount of work it would require to smooth this out. We feel a bit cheated as he said the work would smooth out everything and we could paint it all white for a blank canvas for our kitchen install and it’s left a huge mess for us to clean and figure out.
I can’t express how grateful we are to Jose. We originally hired someone else who did significant damage. Jose came over and removed the terrible work before it dried and came the next morning to do redo all the walls with incredible attention to detail and a more than fair price, AND just before our kitchen was to be installed. He really did save the day. Hire him if you can, he is someone you can trust. Amazing person, amazing work. 💪🏼

Doors 1 and 2 slide quite well but are not straight. They are flush at the bottom and about 30mm gap at the top. Door 3 does not slide it all. The upper track appears to have a bend in it. Not interested in paying cash and having my money stuck in airtasker. Be open and honest and we will both get the result we want If you need parts such as sliding door tracks consider that in your quote.
