In other words, if the job is priced at, say £2000, and my wife is
electrocuted as a result of negligence by XXXX, any compensation would
be capped at £2000.

Is this a reasonable clause?


It's illegal if it even attempts to limit liability for death,
which it would appear to do from what you posted.
Suggest you walk away, after pointing that out if you so choose.

ISTM that the "with the exception of damage for death or personal
injury" line was excluding liability for death from the limitation (i.e.
making the liability unlimited)
