We have recently suffered a significant ingress of water into the roof of our bay window. It was
to Mr Arigi who immediately initiated the survey and repair procedure. At all stages of the repair we were grateful for the competence and thoroughness with which it was organised. Now that the repair has been successfully completed we would like to thank Mr Arigi for his support and competence throughout.... Read more

I have had the opportunity of dealing with Gianni during the past few months. I am impressed with his professional approach and the way he handles my enquiries. I find Gianni extremely helpful and enthusiastic. He is observant and attentive. He responds promptly to my email and telephone enquiries. He considers my questions and concerns seriously. After studying and investigating on the matters I have raised, Gianni gives his honest findings and suggestions. I believe he is a highly valuable member of your company.

I don't normally leave reviews but this company is very unprofessional. I have contacted them on 4 separate occasions about renting an office in Cardiff and Newport and no one has responded. On 3 occasions I sent emails that have never been replied to. The 4th occasion I called and was told that I would be contacted for a viewing on Monday, but I was never called back. These offices are still up for rent. I will never use this company.... Read more

I wanted to thank Gianni Arrighi, a Property Manager at Cooke & Arkwright , for informing us of the recent parcel theft from the block and ensuring good security practices are in place so it's less likely to happen again! Also, I appreciate the level of his communication which is always good and clear. I like the switch from paper to electronic exchange as well as it makes it easier to store it and access whenever needed.... Read more

My window in the living room was due for a fix and I reported to Gianni. Within a few days, he came and checked the window and arranged for the window guy to come and measure it. Gianni made sure I was updated with anything that was arranged for the new window. And within a month the window guy came and installed the new window with the latest function. Thank you....

I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with Chris Hyde and more recently Ellie Hitchings at C&A for two Land Purchases in the last 3 years and have found their approach extremely professional. Their knowledge, response time and friendly manor coupled with great customer service and delivery gives a fantastic customer experience and one that I would highly recommend.

Following a leak, which resulted in remedial working needing to be completed at my property, I contacted Gianni at Cooke & Arkwright (Managing Agents). Gianni promptly visited the property and raised a purchase order for works to be completed. From the date of reporting, to the issue being resolved took less than a week. Brilliant service!...

Absolutely top marks!!... Read more

I'm so impressed with Gianni who is now looking after us at Atlantic Wharf. He responds emails quickly and kindly, and seems to have got 'up to speed' in no time at all.
On Friday Gianni arrived at my flat as arranged and listened carefully to my concerns about two of my windows (problems first raised last January but never addressed.) I have high hopes that he will be a huge asset to the company.... Read more

We would happily recommend John and his team to anyone who is looking for a sharp operator who can deliver on time , on budget and stay on top of the situation.
Thanks again to the team.

As a newly appointed Property Manager at Cooke & Arkwright in Cardiff, it was somewhat a baptism by fire when Giancarlo Arrighi (Gianni) was faced with a probable major apartment block lift outage during his first week in the post.
Besides the need to work with external resource to resolve such issues, I think it is important to ensure that owners and residents are given regular updates regarding the situation. In this way, frustrations are minimised, expectations are provided and people can see that they are not forgotten.
As an owner/resident, I felt that, during the outage, the level of communication received from Gianni was exemplary and was much appreciated.... Read more

We contacted cooke & Arkwright after receiving our Business Rates bill, as after the re-evaluation of our business increased by more than double on the 2022-3 bill.
We have worked with them previously (2019) and had been impressed with the outcome, so thought that they would be the people to talk to this time.
I contacted Cooke & Arkwright and spoke to someone called Will,(Charlie who we had dealt with previously no longer works there) who said he would have a look and be in contact with us within 7 days.
The over 7 days passed and no response from Will (either by phone or email), so I called was put through to a lady called Jane (Will apparently was on Holiday). She said she would look into the issue after checking Will emails as he hadn't passed, the information/case onto any of his colleges.
After a couple of hours Jane called and asked if I could send her all the information I had sent Will and all the historic forms and info we had sent Charlie back in 2019, as she couldn't find any of it in their records. Luckily we still had all the emails and details from dealing with Charlie.
I email Jane all of the relevant and requested information and received a call from her an hour later. Which I found odd as it was going to take Will 7 days to go through everything. The call was to say there was nothing they could help us with.
I did try to talk this through with Jane but got the impression she wasn't very interested and quite frankly bored of the conversation so we ended the call.
As I don't really know much about the complexities of the Business rates system, so I called her again and passed the conversation over to my partner who had dealt with Charlie previously and has a lot more knowledgable of these things than I do.
However he to didn't get very far with Jane, who told him "that she wasn't getting paid to discuss this" and then hung up on him.
This was either because she will only speak to someone if there is some form of monetary gain in it for her or she was being homophobic. We may never know.
Either way her response to our query was extremely rude, unhelpful and shows an extremely poor standard of customer services, which puts Cooke & Arkwright in an extremely poor light and there is no way I could now recommend them to do business with based on the totally unprofessional attitude shown by Jane....
