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. - Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else. - Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time, not only the quality of the work. - Agree the call-out fee up front, and be wary of large upfront deposits for an emergency job. ## Contact - Phone: 021 175 1717 - Website: https://www.topbrass.co.nz/ --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://nz.mytrustedtraders.com/traders/mtt264133-topbrass-auckland-central-gasfitter Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 2 named public sources.
