Joel fitted a cooker in the kitchen, a fan, lights over the cooker and a radiator in the bathroom. Even though the jobs turned out to be a little more complex than we expected, Joel did great work, with good humour, tidily, promptly and at a very good price. We could not have asked for more!

Small electrical jobs

My friend recommended Joel and I am so glad she did! Just 2 small jobs to upgrade a light fitting, and change a single socket to a double. Joel was easy to communicate with to arrange the job, arrived when he said he would and completed the work promptly for what I would say was a very reasonable price. Some small accidental damage occurred to the back of the wall whilst replacing the socket. Joel informed me and went about repairing and filling the blown plaster without hesitation. Everything was left very clean and tidy. Really pleased to find such a nice electrician locally, will definitely refer to him again for my future jobs and recommend him to my friends and neighbours. Thanks Joel!

Can't recommend Joel highly enough. Very professional, great advice and excellent work. He's now done a range of things for me on my new home, from improvements to the lighting system to installing a towel heater in the bathroom to replacing the consumer unit. Lovely man does a great, neat and tidy job.

I've used Joel a few times now for various electrical jobs, including fixing the poor work of other contractors! He has never failed to be efficient, clear, helpful and trustworthy. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Joel replaced some failed downlights in our bathroom with LED units a while ago. We have been very happy with the result. He came this week to replace similar lights in a different room. He arrived punctually and carried out the work quickly and effectively. His price was very reasonable. We discussed some additional work I was considering, his advice was detailed, comprehensive, thorough and honest. I will certainly employ him again when I need further electrical work.

Joel is a very thorough electrician and provides great customer service, his quotes have always been 100% accurate. He has carried out a number of jobs for us and has done them all well. He never is in a rush to get onto the next job and is a very easy person to have around. He is very reasonably priced, compared to other quotes we have received for the same jobs and is always punctual and respectful.

Power supply system check

Using my oven at an unusually high temperature on a rarely used programme had tripped our power supply. I needed to know whether the problem lay with the circuit, or with the oven. I had no hesitation in turning to Joel for advice as he had given excellent service on a couple of previous small jobs. He gave the power supply an admirably thorough check, for a very modest charge, and was able to give it a clean bill of health.

VERY SATISFIED

Joel replaced all the halogen spots in my flat with LED units, changed a couple of dimmer switches, made an update to the fuse box and fitted two double plug sockets. I also asked him to get my cooker hood and light working, but he told me I should try just changing the fuse first - and that worked. He came round to quote for the work soon after I contacted him, sent a detailed estimate promptly, and slotted the job into his schedule. I was very happy with the work, and Joel was great to deal with from start to finish, and a really nice guy.

First Class Electrician

Joel has carried out several jobs for me this year. He is an excellent electrician and his work is of the highest professional standard. Joel has rewired my new garden shed and replaced the cable running from the house to the shed. He has also replaced my fuse box, fitted a new extractor fan in the bathroom, repaired a socket and ceiling light and wired new light fittings and a doorbell. I am retired and Joel is respectful of my house and works in a diligent, efficient and orderly manner. His work looks good and he leaves no mess. The extent of his experience is evident in the solutions he recommends and I welcome his proactive approach in giving advice on components in my house that require updating. Throughout the work Joel was especially helpful, he suggested fittings, sending me links to look at and responded promptly to my queries in emails. All around Joel is also an absolute pleasure to work with.

Doorbell and lights

Joel came twice earlier this month to repair our doorbell and a couple of faulty LED light fittings. On both occasions, he was punctual and very good at communicating what he was doing, and carried out the work in a competent and tidy manner. As it turned out that we needed a new bell, he explained what was needed and checked in the time between visits that we were happy with the model he was suggesting. We are very pleased with his work, and would certainly recommend him to others.
