Some customer testimonials
Our project was a bungalow conversion with complete re-wiring to accommodate the new internal layout. Our architecst had provied a lighting and power layout which CPJ Electrics used for quotation purposes. Their quote was very competitive. The project kept to this budget with a few trade offs and variations here and there and suggestions by CPJ Electrics to improve the lighting and power locations. One of the suggestions in particular to use state of the art lighting panels we are particularly pleased with. The work has been carried out thoroughly, to a very high standard, and on time. With so many trades coming together at the same time there was inevitably some frustrations but these were managed with a smile and a sense of humour. I have no hesitation in using these guys again and recommending CPJ Electrics to anyone.Wokingham Customer -refurbishment- Chris is excellent, honest and work done will be of very good quality.
