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 turned upon time each day and finished the agreed scope of work exactly when he predicted. I greatly appreciated his honesty and transparency throughout, especially when telling me that certain things I asked about where in fact not needed (an apparently rare quality nowadays). I couldn't recommend him enough, and will use his services again in the future.

Joel replaced four old-fashioned ceiling lights, patched the ceiling holes and installed three surface-mounted lights and a pendant light above the dining table, as well as capping off a dangerously located socket under my sink. This was the fourth job that I've used Joel for, and he has always offered sensible advice on what the job would involve and helpful solutions to any issues encountered. He is polite, respectful, tidy and accommodating, he communicates well about the job, and is pleasure to have in the house. His work is good value, his quote for the work was accurate and he arrived and left on time. I would definitely recommend Joel to a friend and use him for future electrical work.

Joel came to do an EICR for me, following another contractor doing a really bad job. He identified all the issues, communicated clearly about what was required, how he would fix it, and reliably and promptly delivered. He has been incredibly easy to work with, 100% trustworthy, and would strongly recommend!

Joel installed new LED light fittings throughout my flat as well as installed a new pendant light, ceiling fan, and replaced my bathroom extractor fan. He took care to visit first to ensure his quote would be accurate and comprehensive - something I appreciated as this avoided any unexpected additional costs. The work was done well and as promised - he even went above and beyond to infill a hole in the ceiling that was left from one of my previous light fittings, and was sure to clean up as he went along. He also took the time to ensure the light levels and colours of my new fittings were as I wanted and showed me how to adjust everything if I wanted to in the future. When the work was done he did a thorough safety check to ensure everything was as it should be in order to issue the proper certificates. I highly recommend Joel and Switch Green Electrical.
