This man is a con-artist & is best avoided. We paid $12,500 deposit in December 2021 for resurfacing our shared driveway; he did a total of three & half days work, always promising that the driveway would be done "on friday"... that's when you could actually get hold of him. He always had an excuse for not turning up be it Covid, funerals,weather. We eventually sacked him in June 2022 as he clearly had no intention of finishing the job but was happy to keep the deposit, which

Detailed reviews
Appalling. One star, only because he finally came back at least three times to "fix" the shoddy job. Poor quality asphalt that crumbled. Some of it appears painted over. Instead of a nice single uniform seal, we have several patches on the driveway and carpark. Six months on it doesn't look finished. To think we paid good money for this rotten job as the old seal was superior to the muck Charlie put on. Would recommend you don't use him or you will be stuck with a rat**** 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 tradesperson's skills, licences and insurance. Ask for both before work starts.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
