About

Switch Green Electrical specialises in small electrical tasks, consumer unit replacements and electrical repairs. 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.

We initially asked Joel to connect our garden room to the house’s electrical supply. We were pleased enough with the service that we also hired him to install a bathroom extractor, doorbell, and 1st and 2nd fix on our kitchen. I particularly liked that the quotes given were clear, and we always knew which materials were included. Communication and scheduling was done very well too. It was also appreciated that Joel would point out any opportunities to reuse materials, so as to minimise waste. I don’t have any hesitation recommending Joel.

Joel replaced 3 malfunctioning pull cord light switches for me at a reasonable price. Arrived when he said he would and did the job in next to no time. I would welcome Joel back any day.

Joel was brilliant. He replaced the lights under our kitchen cabinets and fitted our new oven. He gave us excellent advice on the kind of lights to fit. Fitting the oven was more complicated than it should have been because the previous oven had been fitted without a backplate. Joel had the necessary parts in his van and had the oven fitted and tested quickly and smoothly. Joel took away the oven and cabling to be recycled. He worked very efficiently, and his prices are very reasonable. A pleasure to do business with.

Excellent electrician — installed a new light, hung three lighting pendants, and fitted several switches. The work was carried out to a high standard, communication was clear, and everything was left clean and tidy. Highly recommended.

Being a contortionist he managed to move new fireproof fuse-box the necessary couple of feet to the outside of the cupboard, which I think contributed a great deal to the reasonableness of his quote,saving him time & me cost of ducting & wiring to what wd have been only alternative position 12 ft away. I would like to give him 6 stars rather than 5 as 2 of the rooms he had test the sockets in where decidedly unpleasant – I cdn'r even go in them! Because my husband had been 999'd to hospital I was unable to keep to the terms of the of the contract which asked that access to all sockets was available & that we are responsible for replacing any furniture that had had to be moved. Joel just went ahead & did this. Had been suffering from plague of mice & using silicon Joel blocked some holes left by Sparks our vendor had used. Kitchen ceiling lights needed replacing - had been told by 2 Sparks that as they were in a slanting roof , the ceiling would need replacing. Joel confirmed that it would save elec.costs if changed to LED - he cd do from his ladder by simply unscrewing present light & replacing with LED after fiddling with some short wires for eac Joel's a kind caring honest bloke who is good at his job and cares about people, living up to his working name SWITCH GREEN by taking all the bits of wiring left over from his work from me & that I had collected. Normally I loathe having workmen in the house but Joel I look forward to seeing!!!

Joel carried an EICR, undertook remedial work that included installing a new consumer unit, and carried out a range of other electrical tasks. He provided a detailed schedule of work in advance, which I really appreciated, and everything was completed to schedule and to the agreed budget. He was very professional, offered advice, explained what he would need to do at each step, and took care to minimise damage to any floor boards that needed to be lifted. I highly recommend him.

We had Joel replace some electric panel radiators as well as some smaller electrical repair works around our apartment. Joel was helpful, responsive and forthcoming with advice and recommendations as part of scoping the works and putting together a quote. He worked quickly, efficiently and tidily around the apartment, and was clear in explaining what he was doing before starting any task. He completed the works within the time he had allocated and left behind no mess. The job was exactly as quoted. Joel was friendly and approachable with any queries throughout the process end-to-end. I'll be using Switch Green Electrical again and highly recommend their services for electrical works.

This was Joel’s second visit to our house. He was trying to identify why our lights were ‘tripping’ which is no mean feat as it is a large house. He went through the place with the meticulousness of a detective and eventually found the culprit. Despite being here for ages, I received a very reasonable invoice. Plus he went to the task I a good humoured way, despite the challenge. Would definitely recommend
