Manukau covers everything from Otara state homes to Flat Bush multi-generational family builds to Airport Oaks logistics estates. Every job here needs an honest quote — not the flash-brand up-sell, not the cheap-and-nasty either. We spec for what your family or business actually needs, not what earns us the most margin.

South Auckland housing types — three tiers

1960–70s brick-and-tile (Otara, Mangere East, Papatoetoe, older Manukau City): solid brick, timber-frame interior. Standard rates. Two-storey WiFi extension is the #1 booking. Modern subdivisions (Flat Bush, Ormiston, The Gardens, Karaka): pre-wired but often under-spec’d at 2 points per room. Retrofit adds are common; foil-backed insulation kills upstairs 5GHz WiFi. State-house renovations: often need full re-wiring, we work with the SHA process and cable during reno stage when walls are open.

Multi-generational family homes — the Manukau default

Big families = many devices = need more points and proper WiFi. Standard Manukau install adds 400–900 NZD on top of base cabling for extra bedroom points and a 3-node hard-wired mesh so grandma’s WiFi actually reaches her downstairs unit or minor dwelling. We spec around your family’s real usage, not a template.

Airport, Wiri, Airport Oaks + East Tāmaki industrial

Auckland Airport perimeter, Wiri industrial estate, Airport Oaks freight terminal, East Tāmaki industrial. Structured cabling for warehouses, freight companies, logistics offices. CCTV + access control on secure sites (Verkada, Gallagher, Inner Range). After-hours install available. Every job comes with Fluke test report + cable schedule + labelled patch panel on handover.

Flat Bush + Ormiston new-build retrofits

Flat Bush and Ormiston new-builds (Universal Homes, Fletcher, Signature) hit the same 3 problems as every Auckland new-build: 2 data points per room, no structured cabinet, WiFi dies past first bedroom. Standard retrofit: 4–6 point-add + hard-wired mesh + wardrobe cabinet relocation. 4–6 hours on site.

Manukau install FAQ

1. We have got a big family — will one router be enough for Flat Bush?

Usually no. Modern Flat Bush homes need 2-3 mesh nodes hard-wired to Cat6 backhaul. Wireless mesh looks cheaper but halves your speed.

2. Do you do state-home renovations in Otara / Mangere?

Yes — we work with the SHA process and do full re-wires during renovation stage. Best time to cable is when the walls are open.

3. Can you do warehouse cabling near the airport / Wiri?

Yes — this is 30% of our South Auckland volume. Cat6A drops, warehouse CCTV, freight-terminal access control, Gallagher/HID doors.

4. Do you charge more for South Auckland than Central?

No — same rates, sometimes slightly less because we do not carry CBD overhead. Travel is factored in already, not extra.

5. Do you cover Papakura and further south?

Yes — same team, same day where possible. Slightly longer window for same-day (call before 9am to lock a slot).

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our Auckland cabling services, pricing and process. Can't find what you're after? Call us on 0800 222 546.

How much does network cabling cost?

Pricing depends on the number of data points, cable type (Cat6 / Cat6a / fibre) and building complexity. We provide free site surveys and upfront fixed-price quotes — no hidden costs. Most extra Cat6 outlets start from $120 +GST. Call 0800 222 546 to book yours.

Do you charge for site surveys and quotes?

No — site surveys and quotes are free. Book online or call 0800 222 546 and one of our team will come to you, assess the job, and give you a clear fixed price before any work begins.

How long does a typical install take?

A standard residential or small-office install is usually completed in a single day — often same-day. Larger commercial or enterprise projects are planned with a clear timeline given before work begins, so you always know what to expect.

Are your technicians certified and licensed?

Yes. All installs are completed to TIA/EIA and AS/NZS 3080 standards, and any associated electrical work is carried out by licensed electricians. We are fully insured with $5M public liability cover.

What areas of Auckland do you service?

We service all of Auckland — Central, North Shore, West, East and South Auckland — plus the North including Orewa, Silverdale, Warkworth, Snells Beach and Mangawhai.

Do you provide a warranty on your work?

Yes. Every cabling install is tested, documented and backed by our 12-month workmanship warranty. If anything isn't right after your install, we'll come back and fix it.

Cat6 vs Cat6a — which cable should I choose?

For most homes and small offices, Cat6 is more than enough — it handles gigabit speeds easily and is more affordable. Cat6a suits businesses running heavy data, future-proofing for 10-gigabit networks, or longer cable runs. We'll recommend the right cable during your free site survey.

How much does CCTV installation cost in Auckland?

CCTV pricing depends on the number of cameras, indoor vs outdoor placement, recording method (NVR vs cloud) and cabling required. Most residential systems are a one-day install; commercial sites are quoted after a survey. Book a free survey on 0800 222 546.

Can you install fibre optic cabling for my business?

Yes — we install indoor and outdoor fibre including OS2 single-mode and OM3/OM4 multi-mode for backbone runs, server rooms and inter-building links across Auckland. All terminations are tested and certified to AS/NZS standards.

Do you provide after-hours or emergency callouts?

Yes. Real people answer Mon–Sun, and we offer emergency callouts for downed networks, broken cabling, camera failures and business-critical outages. Call 0800 222 546 anytime.

Can you add data points to an existing home or office?

Absolutely — adding data points to existing buildings is one of our most common jobs. We minimise wall damage, label every cable and tidy patch panels so future changes are easy. Most retrofits are completed in a single visit.
