Renovation Electrician Wellington & Lower Hutt
Ginger Electrics does the electrical side of renovations across Wellington and Lower Hutt. That means kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home renovations and extensions. Homeowners can hire Shane directly, and builders bring him in. Involve him early and wiring problems show up on the plans, not mid-job.

Electrical work for kitchen and bathroom renovations
Kitchens and bathrooms are a particular focus for Ginger Electrics. They're also the rooms where getting the electrical planning right early makes a big difference.
In a kitchen, Shane checks your wiring can carry the appliances you're planning. In a bathroom, the wiring goes where it's needed before the walls are lined. Each has its own page below.
Get your electrician involved at the design stage
The ideal time to bring Ginger Electrics in is right at the beginning, during the design phase. Don't wait until walls are about to be lined with GIB to work out where everything electrical needs to go.
Sorted on the plans, the electrical is part of the renovation rather than an afterthought. The review can include:
- Existing lighting and wiring
- Electrical codes and standards
- Lighting requirements
- Appliance considerations
- Ventilation
- Existing switchboards
- Areas that may require rewiring
- Potential conflicts within the proposed layout
If the switchboard needs upgrading or part of the house needs rewiring, that's done as part of the same job.
Can I hire an electrician directly for my renovation?
Yes. You don't need to come through a builder to engage Ginger Electrics. Get in touch while you're still working through the plans. Shane will go over the layout and what's already in the home, and flag anything that needs attention before construction gets far. You'll understand how the decisions made in planning will work in practice.
