Meet Holly & Josh

Southcombe Electrical is a family-run electrical business based right here in Whanganui. Josh has been on the tools since the day he left high school, working his way up through the trade before taking the leap and starting his own company.

Today the crew handles everything from a single powerpoint to full home rewires, heat pump installs, switchboards, solar, EV chargers and emergency call-outs. If it's electrical, we've done it before.

Holly runs the office, the boys run the jobs. Together they've built something Whanganui keeps coming back to. 120+ five-star Google reviews and counting.

We're local, we love what we do, and we're here to help Whanganui grow and feel safe in their homes.

If we wouldn't put it in our own home, we won't put it in yours.— Josh & Holly Southcombe

The legends behind every job

  • Josh Southcombe

    Owner & Qualified Electrician

    Runs the office, answers the phone, and keeps every job moving. When you call Southcombe, Holly is the reason you never get a voicemail.

What we stand for

  • 01

    Family

    Pride

    Do it properly, first time

    Tidy switchboards, neat wiring, proper installs. We step back and check the work before we leave because the standard matters more than the speed.

  • 03

    Safety

    Tested, signed off, certified

    Every job gets fully tested and signed off before we walk out the door. Your family stays safe, your gear works the way it should, and you've got the paperwork to prove it. That's what being qualified actually means.

    Local

    Whanganui born and bred

    We know the old villas, the new builds, the rural jobs out the back of town. We're not chasing a quick buck and leaving, we're here for the long haul, and we want to be the sparkies your neighbours recommend.
