2Property managers and homeowners will always need
tradesmen to help with repairs and maintenance
around the home. Sometimes that tradie might be
your mate, your family member, or yourself if you
have a few DIY skills. But if you dont have
tradies in your circle of friends that you can
call upon, how do you find someone reliable when
you need them? Social media and websites are
great for finding tradies, but when they are just
a name in a list, you know dont know anything
about them. Then you might find someone that
looks reputable, and you call them for a quote
only to find they are based at the other end of
the metro area and dont service your
suburb! Many tradies will say they service the
whole metro area. From Yanchep to Mandurah has
often been a key point in their advertising. But
Perth is continually growing with new suburbs
popping up all the time, and so a tradie who says
they service the whole metro area could spend
half their day driving just to get to their next
job. Which means you waste time waiting for them.

4- When you need a tradesperson, you need someone
reliable, with a good reputation of quality
workmanship, and most importantly, someone who is
LOCAL to you! - Heres a few reasons why its best to pick a
local tradie - A local tradie will get to your place sooner and
can usually fit in with you better timewise as
you could be their first job of the day. - Living locally means the tradie can get to your
place quickly if theres an emergency that needs
fixing. - A tradie who lives and works in your area is more
likely to know your local council regulations
for bigger jobs. - You might end up bumping into them at the local
shops or at the pub, meaning you can get to know
them better and build relationships which can
help you when you need them in future!
5So where do you find these local tradies? In the
past it was easy to find trades close to home
youd pick up your local newspaper, flip to the
Trades and Services section, and call up whoever
was advertising that week. But the days of local
newspapers and directories are gone, and finding
tradies is all about going online. This is where
Trade Heroes can help! Perths favourite trade
directory tradeheroes.com.au was designed with
the old local paper in mind. Businesses on the
site are categorised by name, trade, and suburb.
This means as a consumer you can search for the
trade you need in your area and an instant list
will come up for you. And for tradies who are
listing their business, it means youll be
accessing customers in your local area, which is
great for you too!
