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 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.
'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.

We can only agree with the other reviews on this site. Joel recently completed three jobs for us (sorting out a flickering light, replacing a noisy extractor fan, and finding the problem in a "dead" cooker hood) over two visits, and was punctual, polite, efficient, tidy and communicative throughout. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

Joel was excellent- he is really knowledgeable and gave us great advice and suggestions to modernise the electrics in our 1960s first home. From the first point of contact, he was friendly and communicative. We needed an extractor fan in the bathroom and he liaised with another great tradesperson to build a new ceiling with ceiling lights - it’s been a real game changer and has modernised our bathroom. He also installed a new consumer unit and is helping us sort out new sockets and switches throughout the house. He’s really lovely and personable and gets the job done to a high standard, at a fair price. Would definitely recommend!

Joel has assisted us in electrical works throughout our pre-move in refurbishment work done from November 2022 to January 2023. The works that we have engaged his services on includes: consumer unit installation, lighting installations, sockets + light switches installation and intercom installation. He has always been prompt in responding to our request for service, provided us with detailed and transparent invoicing plus very polite in his dealing with us. His electrical work is top-notch, and he has helped us find solutions that best suit us such as getting an easy smart lighting set-up using Philips Hue system. For a first time home owner, his assistance throughout the process was very helpful for us as he guided us throughout the electrical work journey and has helped us feel confident in the electrical set-up in the property due to his tremendous work performed.

Joel arrived on time, did the work - earth bonding wire to gas meter, installing light in garage, adding two double sockets in living room - with no fuss, minimum disruption and to the agreed price. He explained exactly what he was doing and tested everything thoroughly. A pleasant experience all round.

We had wiring for old wall lights that needed removing and making safe at the wall swich. Joel checked the wiring for us and discovered that the cables to the wall lights were connected to the circuit via a hidden junction box rather than behind the wall switch, which he explained to us clearly. This was before we moved in, so we didn't know how the wall lights had been fitted. As we are replacing the carpet in that room, he suggested looking under the floorboards for a junction box when the carpet is up and the floorboards can be lifted, and we agreed to get back in touch with him. He also replaced five wall switches for us. All the work was done quickly and neatly with minimum disruption to us
