Do I need a building consent for a new fire on Waiheke?

Yes. Waiheke is part of Auckland Council, and any new or replacement wood burner or inbuilt fire needs a building consent before it is installed. The application includes a floor plan, the manufacturer’s specification and installation instructions, the hearth details, how the flue passes through the floor, ceiling and roof, and the position of the smoke alarms. We prepare and lodge all of it for you. Installation and consent charges are quoted separately, and your quote lists each item.

Our installation guarantee

Every installation is completed to the highest standard and backed by a full installation warranty. We believe in doing the job right from the start, so it keeps working safely for years.
