BW Henderson Electrical is Manukau’s local Master Electrician, based just minutes away at our Takanini depot. We’ve worked throughout the Manukau CBD and surrounds since 1952 — from retail fit-outs near Westfield Manukau and Rainbow’s End, to commercial and events work around the Due Drop Events Centre, to switchboard upgrades and EV charger installs for homes and businesses near MIT and AUT South. Because we’re based so close by, we can usually get a registered electrician on site the same day, including 24/7 emergency callouts for industrial and commercial clients. Every job is backed by our $20,000 Master Electrician workmanship guarantee, and we hold SiteWise 100 health and safety certification for commercial and industrial sites. Installation quotes are free — a charge applies for fault-finding and repair work.

Electrician Manukau — FAQs
Do you do retail and commercial fit-outs in Manukau?
Yes. We have worked around the Manukau CBD for years, including retail fit-out and lighting near Westfield Manukau, and commercial and events work around the Due Drop Events Centre. We hold SiteWise 100 certification, which most centre managers and main contractors require before we are on site.
Do you offer 24 hour emergency electrical callouts in Manukau?
Our office hours are 7:30am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday. Outside those hours we keep an electrician on call — call 09 298 1944 and you will speak to a qualified electrician, not a message service. Commercial and industrial clients also have 24/7 breakdown response.
What does an electrician cost in Manukau?
Installation quotes are free. A charge applies for fault-finding and repair assessments, because diagnosing a fault needs a registered electrician on site. Our pricing page sets out how we charge.
How quickly can you get to a job in Manukau?
Our depot is at 82A Spartan Road in Takanini, minutes from the Manukau CBD, so Manukau jobs are a short run for us. Call us on 09 298 1944 and we will give you a realistic timeframe when we book it in.
Can you install EV chargers for a Manukau business?
Yes, for workplaces as well as homes. On a commercial site we look at the existing supply and switchboard capacity first, since several chargers can need a supply upgrade rather than just a new circuit.
Do you work with schools and education facilities?
Yes. School and education electrical maintenance is a regular part of our work across South Auckland, from LED lighting upgrades to planned maintenance and compliance testing.
