Pete’s an absolute legend. Came out to fix a couple of electrical issues plus install a new fan. Prompt, polite, and kept everything tidy. Couldn't recommend him highly enough
Ambient Electrical did an outstanding job installing external lighting and electrical points throughout our sandstone/pool areas and garden. Peter is a true expert in his craft and was exceptional at resolving several issues we had inherited from work completed by our builder.
He worked incredibly well alongside our stone cladding team to achieve a stunning result, and his attention to detail was second to none. The team also completed numerous light, fan and power point installations throughout our home, and nothing was ever a problem.
