About Cockle Bay
Cockle Bay is a small, sought-after coastal suburb in East Auckland, tucked between Howick and Shelly Park. Established as a seaside subdivision from the 1950s onwards, it has grown into a tightly-held residential pocket built around its beach reserve, local shops, and Cockle Bay School, with a mix of older homes and more recent renovations and rebuilds close to the water. This mix of established properties and newer builds means our electricians handle everything from careful rewires in older homes to full fit-outs on renovations and new builds.
French Electrical carries out electrical work throughout Cockle Bay and the surrounding East Auckland suburbs of Howick, Shelly Park, Eastern Beach, Bucklands Beach, Pakuranga, and Beachlands for residential, commercial, and industrial clients alike.
