What to check when hiring bricklayers / masons in New Zealand
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- In New Zealand, restricted building work must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, and all electrical, plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying by a licensed tradesperson (EWRB for electricians, PGDB for plumbers and gasfitters). Check the public register before you hire.
- For residential building work of $30,000 or more you are legally entitled to a written contract and a disclosure statement setting out the tradesperson's skills, licences and insurance. Ask for both before work starts.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.

Verify before you hire
- Bricklaying and blocklaying that affects a home's structure is restricted building work and must be done or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner (bricklaying and blocklaying class): check the licence on the LBP register (lbp.govt.nz).
- Structural masonry usually needs a building consent and a Code Compliance Certificate: confirm these are arranged and that you get a Record of Work for the restricted work.
- Check public liability insurance and GST registration (required above $60,000 turnover).
- Get a written scope and materials list, and ask to see comparable finished work.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Does structural brick or blockwork with no LBP, or isn't on the LBP register.
- Structural work with no building consent or Code Compliance Certificate.
- No proof of insurance, a large cash deposit, or no written quote.
- Won't provide a Record of Work for restricted building work.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Will an LBP (bricklaying and blocklaying) do or supervise the structural work, and what's the licence number?
- Will the work have a building consent, Code Compliance Certificate and a Record of Work?
- Do you carry public liability insurance?
- What warranty applies under the Consumer Guarantees Act?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy bricklayer / mason?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A bricklayer / mason backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend bricklayers / masons for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Bricklayers / masons are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a bricklayer / mason?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the bricklayer / mason, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
