One electrician. Seventeen years on paper. Longer in practice.

Redwire is Kieran Mellamphy. That’s the entire business, and it’s the most important thing on this page.

The company has existed since 2009, but the relationships are older than that. Reviews mention 16 years, 20 years, “over a decade” — clients who started working with Kieran as a tradesman and stayed with him when the business got a name. There was no team to scale into. There still isn’t. The model is simple: one electrician, his phone, and the kind of accumulated trust that compounds year on year.

What people hire Kieran for ranges further than it should fit one person. Detailed lighting design. Full electrical fit-outs. Residential renovations. Specialised commercial work for photography studios. Maintenance contracts for multi-unit apartment buildings. Small fixes that become bigger conversations about how the rest of the place could be set up better.

He does all of it, and he does it himself. The person who quotes the job is the person who turns up to it. The person on the other end of the phone is the person who’ll be in your house on Tuesday. There is no middle layer between you and the work.

Kieran works weekdays out of Kohimarama and across Auckland. Most jobs come by referral — from architects and designers he’s worked alongside, from previous clients passing the number on, from building managers who’ve had him on speed dial for years.

The way to get started is simple: call. Kieran answers his own phone. If he’s on a job, a text works. He’ll come and look, talk you through what needs doing and what doesn’t, give you a fair price, and book it in. From there it tends to look after itself — he turns up when he says he will, leaves the site clean, and does the kind of work the next tradesperson on the project notices.

That’s the entire pitch. There are no service tiers, no membership plans, no after-hours emergency line. Just a tradesman who’s been doing this for a long time, doing it well, for the people who know to call him.
