Also licensed, serving Richmond: 20 we could not score
These hold a current licence on the same public register, checked the same way. We could not score them because they have too few public reviews to rank fairly, many are sole traders without a Google listing. They are shown alphabetically, not ranked, and their absence from the table above says nothing about their work.

Questions about this page
- Which drainlayer serving Richmond does KiwiChecked rank highest?
- Fusion Plumbing And Solar has the highest LocalScore (84.9) of the 4 we scored, assessed August 2026. LocalScore combines public reviews, licence records and time in business. Nobody pays to be scored.
- How many drainlayers serving Richmond hold a current licence?
- 24 businesses serving Richmond appear on the public register for this trade. We could score 4 of them; the rest have too few public reviews to rank fairly and are listed unranked.
- Can a business pay to rank higher on KiwiChecked?
- No. Sponsorship is labelled and sits outside the ranking, and payment has no effect on any score. Claiming a listing does not change a score either.
How we scored these drainlayers
LocalScore combines review quality and volume, how recent those reviews are, verified licence records, and how long the business has been registered. Licences are checked directly against the relevant public register rather than taken from the business. Full weightings are on our methodology page.
