What to check when hiring decking installers 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.
How to judge a decking installer
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- A deck more than 1.5 m above the ground (or attached in a way that affects the building) is restricted building work needing a Licensed Building Practitioner and a building consent: check the licence on the LBP register (lbp.govt.nz).
- Lower decks may be exempt, but confirm the builder checks the height and the council's requirements, and that you'll get a Record of Work and Code Compliance Certificate where a consent applies.
- Check public liability insurance and GST registration (required above $60,000 turnover); a written contract is required by law for work over $30,000.
- Get a written scope covering footings, framing, fixings, decking material and balustrade height.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Builds a high or attached deck with no consent or LBP, or isn't on the LBP register.
- No detail on footings, balustrade height or how the deck connects to the house.
- 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
- Does this deck need a building consent and an LBP, and will you arrange them?
- Will you provide a Record of Work and Code Compliance Certificate where a consent applies?
- Do you carry public liability insurance?
- What timber, footings and balustrade are specified, and what's the warranty?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy decking installer?
- 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 decking installer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend decking installers for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Decking installers 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 decking installer?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the decking installer, 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.
