## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Its been a year of total disaster with the system that was installed by Wasp Security Ltd and now I understand they are no longer in business. The owner Steven Boardman is all Lip service and a total rip off. Ive been left with a $5k plus system that does not work and nobody wants a bar of it."
> — Aaron (5.0, via NoCowboys)

> "Had this alarm installed three years ago and there have been ongoing problems with it randomly going off to the point the whole thing was replaced. Then the maintenance means we got many calls about loss of connection to the monitoring. Finally we asked for a repair and they sent a technician but didn't tell us what the cost would be. It turned out they charged $250 to change a battery. I disputed this as I was never told there was a cost on top of the monitoring charge. They"

> "We found Wasp Security via No Cowboys, had a quote from Steve and then went ahead with the job all without hassle. He was very accomodating to our security requirements and even did us a great deal on alarm monitoring (which has COMPLETLEY changed my views on alarm monitoring since - best decision we made!). Thanks Steve for all the effort and time - highly recommend Wasp - def NOT a cowboy! :)"

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- 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 trader's skills, licences and insurance — ask for both before work starts.
