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.

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.

Switch Green did a full rewire of our property. Joel is professional, efficient and knows what he is talking about. Helped us through the process with ease and we couldn't be happier with the results. Would definitely recommend!

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.

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!
