What to check when hiring siding / cladding 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.
- 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 siding / cladding 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
- Re-cladding a house is usually restricted building work: ask whether a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) will do or supervise it and whether the council requires a building consent and Code Compliance Certificate.
- Weathertightness is the thing that matters most here: confirm the system is installed over a drained, ventilated cavity with proper flashings around windows and penetrations, to the Building Code's external-moisture rules (E2). Hidden water behind cladding is what caused the leaky-building problem.
- A manufacturer-certified installer keeps the product warranty valid, and a cladding system with a current BRANZ Appraisal or CodeMark certificate is proven to perform: ask which system they're accredited to install.
- Get a written scope covering removal of the old cladding, the building wrap/cavity battens, flashings, the exact product, and the workmanship warranty separate from the material warranty.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Door-knockers after a storm pressing you to sign and claim it on insurance: deal with your insurer directly rather than an opportunistic crew.
- Cash only, or a large deposit before any materials are on site.
- A quote with no cavity, no flashing detail and no mention of a building consent where one is required.
- Can't show manufacturer accreditation or a BRANZ Appraisal / CodeMark for the system: your weathertightness and warranty cover may be worthless.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Does this re-clad need an LBP and a building consent, and will you arrange them?
- Will you install a drained, ventilated cavity and flash the windows and penetrations to E2?
- Are you a certified installer for this cladding system, and does it hold a BRANZ Appraisal or CodeMark?
- Does the price include removing the old cladding, the building wrap and battens, flashings and clean-up?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy siding / cladding 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 siding / cladding contractor backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend siding / cladding contractors for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Siding / cladding 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 siding / cladding contractor?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the siding / cladding 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.
