Our first experience with Chris was during an emergency call-out due to a serious electrical fault caused by old wiring, which had resulted in arcing. Chris responded promptly and professionally, resolving the issue quickly and efficiently. Impressed by his level of expertise and professionalism, we have continued to use Chris’s services for multiple projects. To date, he has installed 14 smart lights, 5 display cabinets, and 8 smart sockets for us—all to a consistently high standard.Verified reviewerJob location: EX31Response from Arkell's Electrics
