A very happy customer

I needed an electrician to check and fix the electrics of the house I had recently moved in to. I found Joel through Which Trusted Traders - and I’m really happy he agreed to take on the job! From the very beginning, Joel was reliable, responsive and super clear about how long the work would take and how much it would cost. In the end, he had to make a few visits as there were several problems with the electrical installation of the house. He explained clearly what he would do in each visit and he was always on time. He also made sure everything was clean and in good working order after every visit. Finally, he didn’t send an invoice until all the work had been completed and the electrics had been signed off, which I really appreciated.

Thank you for the review. I know that having work done on a new house can be a headache so I'm really pleased you felt the process was a smooth one. I look forward to working for you again sometime in the future

I contact Switch Green Electrical when I needed power running out to a new garden shed and the installation of lights and power sockets. After a quick initial phone call, Joel popped over to take a look at the situation and arranged a time to return to complete the work. The job took a day and the quality of the work was excellent, with the cables neatly routed and lights and fixtures sensibly positioned and well secured. I'm very pleased! One thing to note is that Joel is - quite rightly - very busy so there's a wait time of a few weeks before getting a job done. He's well worth the wait though!

Joel just installed a new consumer unit and a continuous flow extractor fan for us, as well as replacing some lighting units around the house which were not up to current safety standards. Joel could not have been more helpful and all work was carried out very efficiently and without any mess. Although more work was needed than we had initially identified, Joel completed all jobs to the agreed timescale. We felt that Joel had all the skills we needed and a real commitment to high-quality work. We would not hesitate to recommend him.

Joel was professional and helpful from coming round to provide a quote and advice, to completing the work. He installed a new supply to the kitchen for an oven, tidied up some previous less than ideal wiring in the kitchen and upgraded the ceiling halogens to LED. All the work was completed as agreed at a reasonable price.

I've used Joel several times for various electrical jobs, big and small. He is hard-working, efficient and reliable. He's always friendly and courteous, and nothing is too much trouble. He also clearly explains any on-site issues and their implications. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him and giving 5 stars. Thanks Joel.

We had a burnt out junction box which had taken out one of our kitchen lights. Joel identified the problem immediately and fixed within the hour. He was also kind, pleasant and organised to deal with - would use again!

Excellent garden building electrics

Joel did a great job of wiring in our new garden building. We chose Joel because he provided a full breakdown of costs before starting the work, the quote was competitive, and he is very professional and a nice person to boot! It was essential that we found someone that was reliable and would be on site when the building installers arrived. Despite the compressed time scales, this couldn't have gone better and Joel was punctual and worked alongside the installers with no problems at all. The quality of the finish is great and it's a really tidy job. Joel found a few issues with our existing circuits and fixed those too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joel and we will definitely be using again. Thank you!
