How to find a tradesperson near you

[Jason]

Many thanks for joining the Bunnings Workshop community. You have joined a friendly, helpful community of people who are happy to roll the sleeves up and get stuck into home improvement projects.

We try to encourage everyone to have a go and will happily provide the advice and support you need. If you need a hand with a project, please don’t hesitate to click on the Start a discussion button. We have plenty of community members keen to share their experience and knowledge.

If you need a tradesperson to assist you, customers in the Sydney metropolitan area can utilise the Bunnings Services Marketplace. The service by TooEzi will match your job with suitable tradies in your area. Alternatively, try a site like Airtasker or hipages. 

We sometimes get members on Workshop asking for recommendations for tradespeople in their area, but Workshop is a community for people right across Australia and New Zealand so it is unlikely that there will be a member near you who can recommend someone suitable. It's best to go direct to a site that is designed for that purpose. 

Feel free to reach out any time you need help getting the most from the Workshop site or have any feedback about how we can make Workshop more useful for you.

Hi Jason, many thanks for your response.  I ended up asking for recommendations on various facebook groups.

My car bumped into one of the front carport posts and now it is on a lean and out of the original position as shown in the picture. The pole itself does not look damaged but definitely needs to be adjusted back into position. The nails have come out halfway at the bottom of the post. 

I am not familiar with the building process so needing some guidance on who to call to assess and get it fixed. Ideally, we are hoping to not need the whole carport replaced.

Hi @MandyP,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

It's a little bit concerning that there doesn't appear to be anything attaching this post to the ground. You may have accidentally revealed an issue that has been sitting there unnoticed for some time.

The repair wouldn't be too difficult, and a handyperson or carpenter should be able to assist.

They should use some acrow props to lift the carport up slightly so that they can move the post out of the way to install a post anchor using AnkaScrews or DynaBolts.

Once the post anchor is in place, the post can be slipped into the post anchor, the acrow props removed and then holes can be drilled out to install hex head galvanised bolts.

Have a look at How to find a tradesperson near you for some guidance.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi,

A friend of mine has her house damaged by a storm, including the garage roof, a shed and sunroom window and footings. She is looking for a builder or a construction company to take on the repair.

Would you please recommend a good one?

Hi @emmab1986,

It's unlikely that our members would be able to provide details of builders in your local area.

THanks Mitchell.

My friend is located in the southeast of Melbourne.

Then it sounds like Airtasker or hipages might be worth a go @emmab1986.
