Joel is highly regarded in this neighborhood and I suspect he has too much work due to how many people recommend him. He is very professional and I could not recommend him enough.

We had not previously had contact with Switch Green Electrical but Joel Buckwell responded quickly to my contacting him and went out of his way to fit in our small job at the end of his busy day. He was timely, efficient and knowledgeable, and his charge was proportionate to the work done. His professional approach immediately inspired confidence and his communication with us was speedy and clear. We will certainly use Switch Green Electrical again and I recommend him warmly and without hesitation.

I can highly recommend Joel. He fitted a new heater in my living room advising on the sort of heater I needed. Delivered great work and fitted it at relatively short notice when weather was particularly cold which was much appreciated. He kept disruption to a minimum and was very personable. Very competitive on price also.

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
Customer Service

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!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I'm very happy to hear your kind words. Yes, sometimes when chasing a wall a small amount of unforeseen damage to plaster occurs. I always carry filler on the van for these moments, so no fuss is needed in calling out another tradesman to correct it. It can simply be repaired there and then. Thank you in advance for recommending me to friends and neighbours, I appreciate that. All the best, 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.

I really appreciate your kind words about the work I carried out. I try my hardest to always keep my prices reasonable and deliver work that is as accurate as possible to the quotation. I'm very happy to hear you feel that I deliver in those two areas. Thanks again for writing a review. See you again sometime In the future. Best, Joel
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.
