I have used Joel a couple of times before so went straight to him when I needed a double socket added to my new place. He responded quickly, and even though its a relatively small job he was happy to help, giving his advice on what would work best for us. He fitted the plug and left the place clean and tidy as always. Thoroughly reliable and trustworthy. Whenever I have any electrical work needed, I will always use Joel for peace of mind and full confidence in his work.

I have used Joel several times for various different jobs. He is always on time, communicative, efficient and professional. On top of that he's a very friendly, nice guy and clearly explains what he's going to do and why, including any potential issues he may encounter, so that you have a good understanding of the situation. I think he's very reasonably and fairly priced too. Most importantly of all, he does a great job, first time. I shall be using him again and thoroughly recommend him.

Joel made a return visit to us, having previously replaced all our light fittings with LED units, which he made a great job of. There was an issue with a faulty dimmer switch, which he repaired very quickly. As before, good and prompt communication, friendly and efficient service, excellent value. We would not hesitate to use Switch Green again.

Joel relocated a light, put new heavy lights in and sorted out a faulty switch. He took a lot of care over the work and was super knowledgeable and friendly. Further to completion I had a clear invoice in line with the original quote and a separate NICEIC installation certificate from NICEIC via email for my records. Very professional, trustworthy, would recommend anytime.

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.

Thank you for the review, it's much appreciated. I enjoyed all the jobs carried out at your property. I'm glad everything went to plan, the kitchen and the garden office look great! I'm always happy to reuse materials where possible. There's way too much waste in the construction industry so glad to have like-minded customers that want to reuse materials. Speak soon, 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.

Thank you for the review. I really don't mind that it was only a small job, in fact that's my speciality. Hopefully I'll hear from you again some time in the future
Excellent electrician and a pleasure to have in the house

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.

Thank you for taking the time to write the review. The oven and cables were scrapped and the money was donated to charity so thank you for that. I look forward to any potential works in the future. Speak soon, Joel
