ARK React: electrical services for the private rental sector in South East England

ARK React is a division of ARK Group Services that has been providing electrical services to the private rental sector for over twenty years. The company was founded in 1999 by Kelvin Franklin and, according to its own presentation, has worked for a client portfolio ranging from local letting agents to Fairoaks Airport, which has allowed it to build a trusted reputation within the business community in its area.

The company describes itself as a NAPIT, NICEIC and SMAS approved contractor, and has a team of more than thirty electricians covering West London and the home counties.

Specialisation in property managers

In 2008, ARK React expanded its activity to focus on working with property management agents, creating a dedicated bookings team and a group of electricians specialising in this sector. In 2014, in response to growing demand, it also brought in plumbing and heating engineers. The company states that it serves more than two hundred property managers in Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and West London.

Its stated coverage area includes Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, South West London, Oxfordshire and West Sussex.
