Most businesses own more plug-in gear than they realise: heaters, kettles, computers, chargers, power boards, extension leads and power tools. We work through every room, workshop and storeroom at your Rolleston premises so nothing is skipped, and can test before opening, after hours or in stages to keep your team working.

Izone Warehouses and a Town Still Being Built: Rolleston Testing

Rolleston has grown from about 2,800 people in 2001 to about 28,000 in 2023, with an estimated 34,100 by June 2025, so most of the town and its business premises are recent. The Izone business park holds warehouses, manufacturers and trade suppliers, and a growing distribution sector depends on equipment that runs long hours: battery chargers, packing machines, workshop tools and dock heaters. Warehouses that operate in shifts are tested area by area so dispatch keeps moving.

The ground under Rolleston is stony, and the town saw no liquefaction in the 2010 earthquake despite being close to the end of the Greendale Fault. Stable ground and fast building consents sped up growth after the quakes, and the council has considered rezoning land for thousands more houses, so building sites are a permanent feature here. Builders working several Rolleston sections at once need site tools, leads and portable RCDs on a short cycle, tested where the work is happening.

The town centre, the Selwyn Aquatic Centre and the Toka Hāpai Selwyn Health Hub show how quickly public and commercial buildings have followed the houses. New buildings do not mean the equipment inside is new, though, and staff often bring heaters and chargers from home. Frosts are common across Canterbury in the cooler months, so those heaters see heavy use and are worth catching early in the year.

Local tip: Izone businesses running shifts can ask for testing to start in the quietest area first, so dispatch and production are not interrupted.

Selwyn and Waimakariri businesses range from the Izone business park in Rolleston and research sites in Lincoln to shops and trades in Rangiora and Kaiapoi. Building sites across these growing towns need regular tool and lead testing.

Christchurch winters bring portable heaters out of storage.

Homes in Rolleston

Rolleston's housing is largely recent, wired in plastic-sheathed cable with modern boards and RCD protection. The checks before a big new load such as an EV charger, spa or heat pump are spare ways on the board and capacity on the supply. Homes from before the growth years, and early 2000s builds, should be tested before they are extended.

Selwyn District Council began chlorinating the Rolleston water supply in October 2022 to meet new national drinking water rules.
