I have been highly impressed in my dealings with Joel Work done: *fault finding of power sockets and remedy *Add USB sockets *advise and fit fire and smoke detector alarms *fault finding chronic problem with ceiling light fitting *Advice re new ceiling light and fit. The quote process was a pleasant experience. Joel respectfully listened, appreciated and took on board my comments. The work was carried out efficiently at the agreed schedule and cost. It was a pleasure to have Joel work in my home. Everything works so haven't needed to call on aftercare which was offered.

Joel knows his stuff and provided a really great service for a very reasonable price. Joel provided options/solutions where work was not so clear cut, both in terms of what and when. Everything was transparent in terms of work activities and costs, and communication was spot on. Highly recommend. Will be using again.

Joel conducted an EICR in our flat and fixed the issues that were uncovered, this included replacing the consumer unit, changing the wires of ceiling lights and replacing sockets. The work was completed on time and within budget. Joel explained everything that needed to be done and answered our questions in details.

Joel carried out a range of electrical tasks of varied complexity (new features, replacing items, improving safety and sorting out a disorganised system) over 5 days with skill and professionalism. He is personable, hardworking, methodical and helpful, eg advising an external light fitting we were to buy wasn’t suitable. We are delighted to have a safer installation which meets current regulations as well as some super new light fittings.

Joel has been helping rewire our house since we moved in - changing light fixtures, installing extractor fans and doing EICR and moving lights. He's great, efficient, thorough and helpful with suggestions and very responsive to some of our ideas. Lucky to have found such a good electrician whom would not hesitate in recommending and working with again.

A number of new sockets installed, some sockets and switches upgraded/replaced, and ceiling lights affixed. Joel was friendly and respectful, with good communication all round. Original quote exceeded a little due to some unforeseen challenges, but all fair and agreeable. Would recommend highly.

Outside Light

I chose Switch Green Electrical because it was local to me. When Joel came to do the job we had a problem with the power to the outside light so another solution was needed. Joel came up with an idea which also included fitting an outside plug. Joel was very professional and reliable in every way. I would certainly recommend him.
