What to check when hiring roofers 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.
- Never agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note. That is the classic roofing scam.
- Get a written quote that itemises access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee, not a vague day rate.
- Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
- 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.
How to judge a roofer
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
- Re-roofing and structural roof work can be restricted building work: ask whether a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) is needed and whether your council requires a building consent.
- Roofing is high-risk height work governed by WorkSafe: confirm public liability insurance and that the crew works to height-safety rules.
- Manufacturer or product certification can bring a stronger material warranty: ask which roofing system they're accredited to install.
- Get a written scope covering underlay, flashings, fixings, ventilation and removal of the old roof.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Door-knocking after a storm claiming urgent damage seen from the street, with no local address.
- No proof of public liability insurance for at-heights work.
- Wants a large deposit or full payment up front, or a price far below every other bid.
- Vague scope: no detail on flashings, underlay, ventilation or warranty.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Does this work need an LBP or a building consent, and will you arrange it?
- Can I see your public liability insurance, and what's your height-safety plan?
- Are you an accredited installer for the roofing system, and what warranty comes with it?
- Does the price include removing the old roof, new underlay, flashings and clean-up?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy roofer?
- 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 roofer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend roofers for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Roofers 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 roofer?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the roofer, 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.
