Sam arrived at my home right on time, assessed the work that needed to be done, went away and brought the appropriate light fittings, installed them, tested them, and cleaned up the mess he had made. Very efficient service.  I would definitely use this firm again.

About Herne Bay

Herne Bay is a harbourside suburb on Auckland’s inner-west, with Jervois Road as its main street. It is known for large villas and character homes, many on substantial sections with water views.

Homes built before the 1960s may still have rubber-insulated wiring, which goes brittle with age and can become a fire risk. We check for it before any renovation work. For major renovations we handle full rewires, switchboard upgrades and lighting design. Many owners also add home automation, home theatre, CCTV and garden lighting. Salt air near the water means outdoor fittings need to be marine-grade or suitably IP-rated.
