What to check when hiring kitchen fitters 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.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemised quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
How to judge a kitchen fitter
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 kitchen installation usually involves licensed trades: any plumbing must be done by a PGDB-licensed plumber, and any electrical work (including connecting an oven or hob) by an EWRB-registered electrician, who must give you a Certificate of Compliance.
- Structural changes such as removing a wall or moving services can be restricted building work needing a Licensed Building Practitioner and a building consent: confirm what your job involves.
- 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 cabinetry, benchtops, appliances and who does the plumbing and electrical.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Connects plumbing or wiring themselves without a PGDB or EWRB licence.
- Removes a wall or moves services without checking for restricted building work or a consent.
- No proof of insurance, a large cash deposit, or no written quote.
- Won't say which licensed trades do the plumbing and electrical.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Who does the plumbing and electrical, a PGDB plumber and an EWRB electrician, and will I get the certificates?
- Is any of this restricted building work needing an LBP and a consent?
- Do you carry public liability insurance?
- Is there a written contract for work over $30,000, and what's the warranty?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy kitchen fitter?
- 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 kitchen fitter backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend kitchen fitters for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Kitchen fitters 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 kitchen fitter?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the kitchen fitter, 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.
