About Parnell
Parnell is one of Auckland’s oldest suburbs, next to the Auckland Domain and the city centre. Parnell Road is lined with boutiques, galleries and restaurants, and the suburb has a mix of 1800s and early 1900s villas and cottages, mid-century homes and modern apartments.
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. In character homes we rewire and upgrade switchboards while protecting original features. In apartments and offices we handle lighting, power and emergency lighting testing, and for body corporates and landlords we offer property manager services.
