Test and Tag Spreydon

Thanks, we have your details.

We will be in touch the same working day about your quote. Power fault or burning smell? Call 0800 432 532.

Retest intervals depend on how hard the equipment works. Tools on a building site or in a workshop take far more punishment than a printer in an office, and AS/NZS 3012 gives guidance for construction and demolition sites. We agree sensible intervals with you and book the next round so testing does not lapse.

Barrington, Pioneer and the Motorway Trades: Spreydon's Test and Tag

Barrington Shopping Centre is the commercial anchor of Spreydon, and its tenants range from food outlets to service counters and offices. Shared spaces such as a centre management office or a cleaners' store have equipment of their own, which is easily forgotten when individual shops book testing. A round covering several tenants who opt in can be done together, with each business receiving only its own results.

The Pioneer Leisure Centre, run by the council since 1978, is the kind of facility where equipment is handled by many people every day: hair dryers in changing rooms, fans, cleaning machines and the speakers and microphones used for classes. Frequent handling means closer visual checks at cord entries and plugs.

The Christchurch Southern Motorway runs past the suburb, giving trades based in Spreydon quick access to sites across the city. Builders, painters, cleaners and other trades working from vans often need a current register before a head contractor lets them on site, and testing their tools at home at the start of a day avoids losing site time. Spreydon was swamp and tussock before it was farmed and subdivided, and on its flat ground winter frosts are common. Leads left overnight in an unheated van stiffen in that cold, and a stiff lead forced into a tight coil eventually splits near the plug, a fault the visual inspection picks up.

Local tip: Trades based in Spreydon can book testing for an early start at home, so tools are tagged before the drive to the first site.

Homes in Spreydon

Much of Spreydon was subdivided early in the 20th century, so some homes are old enough to have rubber-insulated cable, which should be replaced rather than extended. Other homes have plastic-sheathed wiring on boards that lack full RCD protection or spare space. The former Spreydon Lodge, one of the oldest houses remaining in south-western Christchurch, is a scheduled heritage place.
