Newmarket Is Retail, Offices and Apartments
We’ll be straight about Newmarket: our job history here is thinner than in East and South Auckland. The work we have done in the suburb has been commercial infrastructure and lighting, earth trunking and replacing up-lights, rather than a long list of domestic callouts.
What we do bring is fifty years of exactly the kind of work Newmarket needs: retail and office fitouts, emergency and exit lighting compliance, test and tag, and lighting upgrades. We do this daily in Pakuranga, Highland Park and along the East Tamaki commercial belt, and there is nothing about a Newmarket retail tenancy that differs from a Botany one except the parking.
We can also work outside trading hours, which for a Broadway or Nuffield Street tenancy usually matters more than anything else.

Good price and fast service, thanks French Electrical.Posted on Google Tony Mc CarthyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Arrived to do the job promptly and did a quick efficient jobPosted on Google John TapeneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I emailed this company at 9:30am because they were local and had been in the area for about 50 years. I received an email response within an hour and had an electrician on site by 11:30am. He, Nigel, assessed tour immediate needs and identified a major problem that needed replacing. Because of the location of the problem, Nigel needed assistance. Three electricians were now on site and they worked very efficiently to not only effect the necessary repairs, but ensured that the primary cause for the previous damage should not reoccur. The team packed up their equipment, tidied up and were on their way. A very professional team of tradesmen whom I would highly recommend.Posted on Google Lianne MacLeodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Marco was very fast and efficient. Will definitely use French Electrical for all future electrical work.Posted on Google Shannon DuffyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The socket our fridge plugs into stopped working (even when we tried plugging in other things to test it) and French electrical were able to come over to check it out within a few hours of me calling. When Noah arrived he checked everything and couldn’t find anything wrong and it had started working again. But instead of just leaving it, he double checked behind the socket cover and all the wires as well as checking the switchboard and making sure everything was working well so that I could be confident that the fridge should be OK! Noah’s attention to detail meant that I felt reassured. I’d definitely book with them again for small or big jobs.Posted on Google Annette JacksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time using French Electricals. I will definitely be using this firm again. Efficient, polite, good info. about what to expect too.
