Arcbright Electrical Ltd

Arcbright rewired our old home when we had a new kitchen installed 7 years ago and we're very happy with their work. We have recently downsized and requested a few quotes for urgent electrical repairs which we found to be on the high side then we thought of Arcbright who was a lo more reasonable. Michael replaced dodgy light switches and installed sockets, he also checked the electrical panel and after a full test he provided us with a report and certificate. I would recommend Arcbright to anyone looking for a professional and trustworthy company.

This tradesmen charges a day rate of 600 + VAT. DOUBLE the market price, regardless of works - please go to check-a-trade to see this for yourself. Very expensive, unwilling to negotiate. Charges over 700 to change the front plate of 30 light switches. Not my cup of tea, especially during a recession. Also, he backtracked on our initial quote that was agreed in advance and got him through the door, after I wasn't happy with paying for additional works. Edit: If changing a few switches, lights, and sockets is what you classify as 'extensive works', then that does not bode well for your company. The re-wiring job is what you originally quoted as 105. This is the works we were happy to proceed with, not all the additions that you suggested during your visit. However, you backed-out of this job as well, due to our unwillingness to pay an extortionate amount of money for what was essentially 30 light switches, one new socket, and a few new lights. Over 1,500 was quoted for about a day and a half's work - 96 per hour for the labour alone, including VAT. Simply replacing the light switches was costed at 720, incl. VAT, for just over 7 hours work (a job that other electricians have suggested will take 6 hours most, at a rate of 35 per hour)... No links to products were provided by you or your company, so this statement is false. We actually suggested suppliers for sockets and other products during your visit. There has been no DIY work undertaken the electrical works for our home either. Overall, it is a shame that you are unwilling to negotiate or provide a meaningful business partnering experience with your potential clients. I wish you all the best on your future endeavours. For those reading this review, please shop around before proceeding as you will likely find substantially better value for money elsewhere. None of this has been to defame a local business, as stated in the company's response. But rather to provide additional market information for other potential customers, like myself, so that they can make the best decision on how to spend their hard-earned money efficiently and effectively, in order to improve their homes for family members and loved ones.

Sunday morning 20th March and no power to any plug sockets in the house! No coffee, fridge and freezer not happy and I'm also on a work deadline. Arghhh! Messaged Michael (who I've happily used before) and he made some suggestions to try - all to no avail. So he arranged to come over, all within 2 hours of initial contact and quickly found the problem - a faulty trip switch and he had the spare part! Can not tell you how happy and grateful I was that he was able to help AND on a Sunday too. Coffee consumed and deadline was met - just! Highly recommend Michael - unflappable, calm, methodical - just what you need in an "emergency" situation, thank you! Service: Electrical panel replacement or upgrading
