Serving St Marys Bay and Central Auckland Since 1974
French Electrical has been based in East Tamaki since 1974, and we work for homeowners in St Marys Bay and the neighbouring harbourside suburbs.
St Marys Bay is small but full of character, with villas on steep streets above the harbour. Rewiring, lighting and outdoor work for those homes make up most of our jobs here.

About St Marys Bay
St Marys Bay is a small harbourside suburb between Ponsonby, Herne Bay and the city, close to Westhaven Marina. Its steep streets are lined with villas and cottages, many dating from the late 1800s and early 1900s, along with some 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. We rewire and upgrade switchboards in older homes, design lighting and add outdoor lighting for decks and terraced gardens. Being close to the water, exterior fittings need to be marine-grade or suitably IP-rated.
