What to check when hiring window / door 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.
- Be wary of high-pressure 'today-only' discounts and a salesperson who won't leave. A reputable window or door firm gives you a written, itemised quote you can take away and compare against others.
- Never pay the full price up front; a modest deposit with the balance on completion is normal. Ask what deposit protection or insurance-backed guarantee you get if the firm stops trading before fitting.
- Get the specification in writing (frame material, the glazing units and their energy rating, and any trickle vents) so you can check you got what you paid for.
- 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 window / door 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
- Installing or replacing exterior windows and doors affects a home's weathertightness, which can make it restricted building work needing a Licensed Building Practitioner and a building consent: check the licence on the LBP register (lbp.govt.nz) and confirm what's needed.
- Where a consent applies you should get a Record of Work and Code Compliance Certificate; glass in doors and low or wet-area windows must be safety glass to NZS 4223.
- Check public liability insurance and GST registration (required above $60,000 turnover).
- Get a written scope covering flashings, sealing and how each opening is weatherproofed.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Cuts new openings or replaces exterior joinery with no regard for weathertightness, flashings or consent.
- No LBP where the work is restricted, or isn't on the LBP register.
- No proof of insurance, a large cash deposit, or no written quote.
- Vague on flashings, sealing or safety glass.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Is this restricted building work, and will an LBP do or supervise it with a consent?
- How will you flash and seal each opening to keep it weathertight?
- Do you carry public liability insurance?
- Is safety glass used where required, and what's the warranty?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy window / door 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 window / door fitter backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend window / door fitters for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Window / door 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 window / door fitter?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the window / door 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.
