What to check when hiring fencing contractors 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 fencing contractor
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
- Most boundary fences under 2.5 m don't need a building consent, but a pool barrier must comply with the Building Act (Building Code clause F9) and the pool-barrier standard NZS 8500: confirm the contractor knows the rules for your job.
- Shared boundary fences are covered by the Fencing Act, which deals with cost-sharing between neighbours: agree the line and the cost split in writing first.
- Check public liability insurance and GST registration (required above $60,000 turnover).
- Get a written quote covering materials, post depth and footings, height and gates.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Installs a pool fence that doesn't meet the F9 / NZS 8500 barrier rules: a serious child-safety and compliance risk.
- No proof of insurance, a large cash deposit, or no written quote.
- Vague on post footings, height or materials.
- Starts a shared boundary fence with no written agreement on cost-sharing.
Questions to ask before you hire
- If this is a pool fence, how will you meet Building Code F9 and NZS 8500?
- What height, materials and footings are included?
- Do you carry public liability insurance?
- What warranty applies under the Consumer Guarantees Act?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy fencing contractor?
- 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 fencing contractor backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend fencing contractors for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Fencing contractors 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 fencing contractor?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the fencing contractor, 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.
