Reef ElectricalMangapapa, GisborneWhat we do
From villa rewires to boat shore power.
Most electrical companies stop at the water's edge. Reef Electrical covers homes, commercial and industrial sites, and the marina too.
Rewiring & renovations
Full and partial rewires for villas, duplexes and renovation projects. Old-house quirks are half the job here, and Charlie enjoys the puzzle.
Lighting & downlights
Downlights, pendants, LED strip and under-cabinet glow. Lighting that lifts a room, installed cleanly and dimmed properly.
Switchboard upgrades
New boards, labelled circuits and modern RCD protection. Tidy work you can actually read the next time something trips.
EV charger installs
Home EV charging done right, from Tesla Wall Connectors to universal units, wired and certified for daily charging.
Marine electrical
Shore power, galvanic isolation and onboard systems. Proper marine-grade work, a specialty most sparkies don't touch.
Repairs & small jobs
Extractor fans, heated towel rails, new sockets, fault-finding. No job too small, and problem wiring left by others put right.
The Reef in Reef Electrical
Marine electrical, done properly.
Shore power hookups, galvanic isolation, inverters and onboard switchboards. Salt water is brutal on electrics and marine work has its own rules. It's a specialty most electricians don't offer, and it's built into this company's name.
Talk boats with CharlieOur work
Tidy boards, warm rooms, happy boats.
Straight from the job sheet: switchboards you can read, lighting with atmosphere, and an EV charger ready for the morning commute.
Reviews
Five stars. Every single review.
Word for word from Google. The pattern is hard to miss: he shows up when he says he will.
"Was introduced to Charlie through friends, while he was doing work for them & since then have used him for all our electrical work. He is very efficient & communicates very well. Arrives when he says he will & will always respond to calls or texts. Have recommended to friends and will continue to ask him to do our work."
"Charlie did a great job retrofitting some old plug sockets, installing down lights and a new extractor fan / heated towel rail in my old villa. Very professional service, provided an accurate quote, good communication throughout the job, and great ability to find workarounds when dealing with the quirks of my place."
"Charlie has just finished rewiring our kitchen laundry and passage way. We couldn't be more happy with his workmanship and professionalism. He arrived when he said he would answered his text messages promptly. Was cheerful and offered great sound advice. Thoroughly recommend. Anne and Ian"
"We only had a few small jobs to do but Reef Electrical Ltd are professional, polite, quick and respectful. I will definitely keep Charlie's number for our next job. Highly recommended for future clients."
"I recently contracted Reef Electrical to help me upgrade my 1960s duplex. He was recommended by my builder. He has a strong work ethic and his input in the renovations has been greatly appreciated. His workmanship is of a high standard and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with him on the project. Highly recommend."

A custom timber LED pendant from the Reef Electrical job sheet. Not bad for a sparky.
