    Excellent tradesman.

    This is the 1st time we've used Chris and when we need any other electrical work doing we'll be using him again. Turns up when he says he will, neat and tidy and is a pleasant lad to get along with. Gives good advice and doesn't over charge. Will be recommending him to friends and family for future work.
