BW Henderson Electrical was founded right here in Papakura in 1952 by Bruce and Marlene Henderson — this is where our story began, and where we’re still proud to serve homeowners and businesses more than 70 years later. Today, under the ownership of Chris French, we provide residential, commercial, and industrial electrical services throughout Papakura and the surrounding South Auckland areas of Takanini, Drury, Karaka, Red Hill, and Hingaia.
Papakura’s mix of established homes, the town centre, and light industrial and commercial premises along Great South Road means our team handles everything from switchboard upgrades and rewires to commercial fit-outs and 24/7 emergency response. Our EWRB-registered, SiteWise 100 certified electricians back every job with a $20,000 Master Electricians workmanship guarantee. Installation quotes are free — however, a charge applies for fault-finding and repair assessments.
