Why Kitchen & Bathroom Renovations Matter
Kitchen and bathroom renovations are one of our top jobs, covering power, lighting and extraction fans. MBIE advises venting bathroom fans outdoors through a short duct, and we plan the fan position around that.
Cliff has done a lot of renovation electrical work in Beach Haven and along the coast. He checks ceiling access before quoting a fan, since access changes the job.
Rachael Newth said Cliff replied quickly and sent Calvin to fix her mum's cooktop at a good price. We also work with homeowners, landlords and property managers on renovation wiring.
Kitchen & Bathroom Renovations cost
A bathroom fan is usually about $650+GST supplied and installed, and access can change it. MBIE says a bathroom fan should move about 25 litres a second and vent outdoors, so the duct run affects the job.
We check the job on site first, then explain your options and the price.
For a small job like a fan, send a few photos and Cliff will say if he needs to visit. Larger kitchen and bathroom wiring is quoted free once he has seen the scope.

I sent an enquiry on a Sunday and got a response same day. Cliff came and fixed my hot water cylinder issue within 20 mins, and was on his way. … Honest, transparent, reasonable cost. Highly recommend.
Amy Graham, hot water cylinder
Cliff and Calvin helped us out with the electrical work for a new hot water cylinder. We had an issue with a delay due to a plumbing supplier, and Cliff made time at short notice to get everything sorted once the cylinder was delivered. Great communication, great price, great workmanship.
Samuel Brebner, hot water cylinder
We’ve definitely found our new electrician! Cliff came at short notice to remove a power point before our painters came. Great advice, good price and a lovely guy.
Sarah Stewart, power point
Cliff was fantastic in his communication, very quick to respond and he sent Calvin around to my mum's house to fix her cooktop. … The whole process was painless and both Cliff and Calvin were very obliging and at a good price - highly recommend!
Rachael Newth, cooktop
Great service, quick response, excellent work. Took time to keep the wife happy with where she wanted the lights and added in the extra switch. Good price for the work. Recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are your call-out and hourly rates?
First hour is $160+GST and that includes travel. After that labour is $95+GST/hr. We give you a price before we start. Larger jobs get a free quote based on the scope, and we tell you what could move the price, such as access or the fittings you choose.
Which suburbs do you cover?
Our core area is the North Shore, from Beach Haven through to Takapuna. That includes Hillcrest, Birkdale, Birkenhead, Glenfield, Forest Hill, Milford, Castor Bay, Unsworth Heights and Totara Vale, and suburbs like them. We do not usually go north of Albany or out to Hobsonville. City and Ponsonby are fine for larger jobs.
Are you Master Electricians?
Yes. Shore Spark Electrical is a Master Electricians member, and that comes with a $20,000 workmanship guarantee on our work. Cliff Halliday has 24 years in the trade and works with his team of contractors. We have been in business since 2009 and hold $10M public liability insurance.
Do you give free quotes?
Quotes are always free. For smaller jobs we ask for photos first. If we cannot price it from photos or a phone call, we will come and look before any work starts. For a switchboard, a photo of the board lets Cliff count the breakers and estimate the job before a visit.
Who answers the phone?
Cliff answers the phone on 09 873 6737. He talks through the job, gives you a price where he can, and books a time that suits you or the team. For smaller jobs you can send photos first. Cliff and his team of contractors do the work.
How soon can you come out?
Most jobs in our core area can be started within a couple of days. Same-day work is sometimes possible, but Cliff does not promise it, especially mid-rewire or with the power off. Amy Graham sent an enquiry on a Sunday and heard back the same day. Sarah Stewart had Cliff remove a power point at short notice before her painters came.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. Wallbox is our usual charger. A garage install next to the switchboard with under 3 metres of cable is usually $650 to $800+GST for the install. The charger cost is separate if you are not supplying your own. A longer 30 metre run on a recent job was $1,650+GST.
What work do you not take on?
We do not take on alarm system work. Everything else electrical is fair game, from switchboards and lighting to EV chargers and renovations. That includes data cabling, heat pump wiring and commercial lighting. Every job has a price, and we tell you the price before we start.
Do you work evenings or weekends?
Our listed hours are 7:30am to 5:00pm on weekdays and 9:00am to 12:00pm on Saturday. We do not usually answer calls after about 5:30pm. For a small job you can send photos any time and we will tell you if a site visit is needed.
