The TaskerAsker services directory is your shortcut to finding verified, ABN-checked local tradies across Australia. Browse by service category, drill into your city or suburb, read real reviews from completed jobs, and compare verification status before you make contact. Whether you need a recurring weekly cleaner in Sydney, a licensed plumber for a burst-pipe emergency in Melbourne, or a builder for a full kitchen renovation in Brisbane, the directory surfaces local providers who already operate in your suburb — not national franchises with patchy regional coverage.
These are the everyday trades Australians book most often. Each link goes to the category page where you can read average pricing, see verified tradies in your suburb and request quotes:
Beyond the everyday categories, TaskerAsker covers a wide range of specialist trades — browse the full A–Z service directory for asbestos removalists, antenna installers, arborists, pool technicians, locksmiths, pest control, removalists, roofers, fencing contractors, tilers and many more. Each category has a dedicated hub with average pricing, hire checklists and verified local providers.
If you would rather have providers come to you with written quotes, post a task for free. Verified tradies in your area will send competitive quotes — usually within a few hours — so you compare prices and profiles in one place rather than chasing individual businesses.
Run a trade business and want to receive job leads in your service area? Join TaskerAsker as a provider — no monthly fees, no contract, just per-lead credits when you choose to quote on a job you want.
Yes. Every tradie listed in the TaskerAsker directory has had their Australian Business Number checked against the Australian Business Register. Where the trade is regulated by state law — plumbing, electrical, gas, building, asbestos — the provider must also supply a current state-issued licence number before they can quote.
Yes. Browsing the directory, sending an enquiry to a listed tradie and posting a public job for multiple quotes is free for customers. You only pay the tradie you decide to hire — TaskerAsker never takes a commission from your project price.
Most jobs receive their first written quote within a few hours during business hours, and have multiple quotes within 24 hours. Response times vary by trade, suburb and how detailed the brief is — including photos, access notes and timing constraints typically shortens turnaround.
Post a task in plain English describing the problem. Our category triage picks the best-fit trades, and tradies in adjacent categories will also see the post if it looks like a fit. You don't need to know whether a job is for a handyman or a carpenter — describe the work and let qualified tradies tell you.
Yes. Browse the published cost guides for benchmarks, or use the price calculators for an instant estimate. Quotes from real local tradies will then refine that range based on access, materials and your suburb.
Yes. Many tradies in plumbing, electrical, locksmithing, glazing and roofing accept after-hours and same-day callouts. Tag the job as Emergency when posting and only tradies who handle emergency work will be alerted.
