We’re Based in East Tamaki, Not Just Servicing It
Our workshop is at 179c Harris Road. East Tamaki isn’t a suburb we drive out to; it’s where our vans start and finish every day, and where more of our work sits than any other suburb in Auckland.
The bulk of that work is industrial. We look after production plant along the East Tamaki industrial belt: roasters and green bean hoppers in coffee and food processing, powder blenders and mixing tanks, packaging lines, flake ice machines, conveyor lines, three-phase machine feeds and variable speed drives. When a machine stops, the line stops, so we run 24/7 breakdown response for industrial clients and we know these sites well enough to find the fault fast.
Alongside that we do a lot of scheduled compliance work here: recurring emergency and exit light testing across multiple buildings, test and tag rounds, and electrical inspections. And because we’re local, we also do the ordinary residential work: a quarter of our East Tamaki jobs are houses, not factories.
