Christchurch, Selwyn & Waimakariri

Commercial electrical work around your hours

Offices, shops, cafés and workshops across Christchurch, Selwyn and Waimakariri. Planned work when you are closed, and a number to ring when something stops.

What we cover

Fitouts and refits

Power, lighting and data from rough-in through to final fit. We coordinate with the builder and other trades throughout the programme.

Scheduled maintenance

Scheduled checks for switchboards, RCDs, emergency lighting and other equipment that needs regular attention.

Lighting upgrades

LED replacements, new fittings and controls. We set up switching and sensors so you are not lighting an empty building overnight.

Three-phase and machinery

Three-phase supply, isolation and connection for workshop machinery, refrigeration and commercial kitchen equipment.

Test and tag

Portable appliance testing on a schedule that suits your site. You receive clear records for your next audit.

Breakdowns

A fault that stops you trading gets priority. We carry common replacement parts, which means many breakdowns can be fixed on the first visit.

We plan the work around your business

For many businesses, closing the doors costs more than the electrical work itself. We can schedule fitouts, changeovers and other planned work for evenings or weekends.

If an outage cannot be avoided, we agree on the timing before work starts. You will know when the power is going off, how long it should take and when you can expect it back on.

Common questions

Can you work outside our trading hours?

Yes. We regularly schedule fitouts, changeovers and other planned work for evenings or weekends. Any after-hours rate is included in the quote before we start.

Do you take on maintenance contracts?

Yes. Tell us what equipment is on site and how often it needs attention. We will put together a maintenance schedule and keep a record of each visit.

How quickly can you get to a breakdown?

A fault that stops you trading goes to the front of the queue. We can usually attend the same day. Less urgent faults are normally booked within two working days.

Do you work with property managers?

Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant, quote and invoice by tenancy, then send the completion details to the person who needs to sign off the work.
