About
Switch Green Electrical is a Forest Hill based domestic electrical company run by Joel Buckwell. Switch Green Electrical specialises in small electrical tasks, consumer unit replacements to full house rewires. Joel first became an electrician in 2003 and has been a sole trader since 2011. He runs his business on honesty and reliability. All work undertaken is carried out to the latest BS7671 standards.
'All Hands and Hearts' are a non profit volunteer based organisation that helps rebuild and improve areas in the aftermath of a natural disaster anywhere in the world. Joel has first hand experience working for them as a volunteer in Nepal, Peru and offers them electrical advice & guidance to keep their projects and volunteers safe.

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.

Installation of a new fuse board
Customer Service

Joel conducted a comprehensive electrical survey which showed various issues to be expected in an older house including items not up to current codes and a disconnected earth left by Thames Water after installing a new mains stop cock. These were all factored into his quotation for the job which was to correct these issues and install a new fuse board. All the work was done to schedule even if it meant working late to get it done. He explained all the technicalities, replaced a faulty light circuit in the basement and downstairs toilet, installed a new combi microwave which had needed a higher rated supply than that already in situe, hoovered up after himself and came back promptly to fix a faulty light switch which we hadn't noticed when checking everything after the installation Joel is hardworking, professional, worth every penny and a thoroughly nice guy

It is the second time we rely on Joel for electrical work at our house. Each time he’s been extremely helpful, prompt and very nice. He helped us choosing the right fittings and gave us a clearer understanding of our old Victorian house’s electrics - explaining things thoroughly and being very open and transparent about the work we needed. He is very knowledgeable and we’re very happy our house is now safer (and in compliance) than when we bought it. Thoroughly recommend, we’ll rely on him again!!

I have had help from Joel 5 times now and I thoroughly recommend him and his work. On each occasion he ways polite, punctual and helpful. Recently he responded to an emergency call for me when water was leaking through a light fitting. He responded promptly and didn’t make a drama out of a crisis, but made sure I was safe. Joel knows the relevant regulations very well and you can be sure that his work complies with them. I have passed Joel’s details to friends and they have been equally happy with his work.
