Your local Waikanae electrician - from character renovations to new builds
Waikanae has one of the most varied housing stocks on the Kapiti Coast. On one street you'll find a 1930s weatherboard bungalow with original wiring still in the walls; on the next, a brand-new home in the Ngarara development with a smart-home spec sheet six pages long. Roundhouse Electrical works confidently across both - and everything in between.
Older Waikanae homes typically need rewiring at some point: original cabling, undersized switchboards, and ungrounded circuits all need to be brought up to current NZ standards before they become a hazard or block a sale. We do that work sensitively - minimising wall damage, working around the home's character features, and finishing every job with proper certification. Conversely, on new builds and substantial renovations we work directly with builders, designers and homeowners to plan circuits, lighting, data cabling, heat pump runs and EV charger provision from the ground up.
Owner Jamie Eades is a registered electrician and a familiar face around Waikanae - punctual, tidy, and straight-talking about cost. Whether your property is on Te Moana Road, near the village, or out toward the Waikanae River, we'd love to be the local sparkie you call when something needs doing properly.
Waikanae electrician - frequently asked questions
Common questions from Waikanae homeowners. Anything else, Jamie is happy to talk it through.
Do you specialise in older Waikanae homes that need rewiring?
Yes. A large share of our Waikanae work is on older bungalows and villas that still have original cabling, ceramic fuses or undersized switchboards. We carry out full or partial rewires with minimal disruption, modern RCD protection throughout, and full compliance certification on completion.
Can you work in newer Waikanae subdivisions like Ngarara?
Absolutely. We regularly work alongside builders in Ngarara and other newer Waikanae developments - from initial plan-stage circuit design and pre-line wiring through to final fit-off, lighting commissioning, heat pump installation and EV charger provisioning.
Are you familiar with the Kapiti Coast District Council consent process?
Yes. We provide the electrical drawings, load calculations and compliance documentation needed to support building consent applications, and we coordinate with KCDC inspectors when required. We work this process every week.
Do you offer scheduled maintenance or check-ups for Waikanae homeowners?
We do. For older homes - and particularly for retirees who want certainty rather than surprises - we offer periodic safety inspections covering switchboard condition, RCD testing, outlet polarity, smoke alarm functionality and overall installation safety. Quick, affordable, and well worth doing.
How far do you travel within Waikanae?
We cover the entire Waikanae area - the village, Te Moana Road, Ngarara, Peka Peka, Otaihanga side, and out toward Reikorangi. Being based locally on the Kapiti Coast means there's no travel surcharge to your door.
