These Christchurch businesses are on our research list but aren't ranked: they don't yet have enough Google reviews or a licence we could confirm. Order is alphabetical and means nothing. What "not yet verified" means
Painting and decorating is not a licensed trade in New Zealand. Industry membership, for example Master Painters New Zealand, is voluntary. Ask about it if it matters to you, but don't treat it as a licence.
Ask what preparation is included, such as washing, sanding, filling and priming, and which paint system and how many coats they plan to use.
Houses built before the 1980s may have lead-based paint. Ask the painter how they test for it and how they will contain dust and debris if they find it.
Ask at least two or three businesses for a written quote that lists what is included, what is excluded and how variations are priced, and compare like with like. Ask whether the quote includes ladders or scaffolding, and what the business will guarantee.
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, services you buy for personal use must be carried out with reasonable care and skill, within a reasonable time if no time is agreed, and be fit for the purpose you made known.
score = (v ÷ (v + 20)) × R + (20 ÷ (v + 20)) × C, where R is the rating, v the review count and C the average rating across all painters we've rated (4.97). A few perfect reviews can't beat hundreds of very good ones.Last checked: 5 Nov 2026 · Method trades-v2 · How we rank, in full · Report a correction
No. Painting is not a licensed trade in New Zealand. Industry membership, such as Master Painters New Zealand, is voluntary. Ask about guarantees and get a written quote.
Prices depend on the job, materials and timing, so we don't publish a single figure. Ask two or three businesses for written quotes that set out what is included, and compare like with like.
We rank businesses on their Google rating and number of Google reviews, using a weighted average that rewards many good reviews over a few perfect ones. A business needs at least 15 Google reviews to be ranked. The full formula is on our How we rank page.
No. No business can pay to be listed or ranked, and we do not use affiliate links.
