We have used Joel before & when we woke up to an electrical fault on the Sunday of August bank holiday weekend we contacted him not expecting a reply. He got in touch immediately to say he could come round and then spent two hours sorting out our tricky problem. He is brilliant and I can't recommend him highly enough as an electrician and a person! Totally professional and trustworthy.

We had electrical problems in the kitchen of a flat. We got Joel in after another electrician said the job was too complicated and may involve ripping up the floor and kitchen units. Joel was responsive, wrote clear e-mails, told us exactly when he could visit, and then did the entire job for significantly less than we had feared it might cost, without damage to the kitchen. He also recorded clearly in writing his findings and what remedial action he took. We own other flats and will now give him all our work.

Joel did a great job replacing an existing floodlight and installing a new one. The solution he came up with was much neater than another quote I received. Joel was great, punctual, polite and took the time to do a great job. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

I purchased a flat knowing that it would need some fairly expensive electrical work doing to it, and so I got a few quotes for the job. As someone who knows nothing at all about electrics, I was keen to find someone trustworthy and helpful. Joel is someone who takes responsibility for the task in hand and offers recommendations about what needs to be done and what does not. I felt some electricians were more interested in getting in and out as quickly as possible, rather than doing a proper and professional job. Joel was excellent from start to finish, and he is also a really nice guy.

Joel has been a great help, offering advice and solutions for my 1960s purpose-built flat and completing jobs quickly and to a high standard. He’s always on time, professional and answers any questions you have in an easy to understand way. I’ve no hesitation in recommending him.

Joel installed sockets and lights in our workshop as well as 2 security lights. He spent a long time chatting to me about various options for running an armoured cable from our house down the garden to make the job affordable as well as placing the cable safely. He is always friendly and polite, his work is of a very high standard and he stuck to the original quote price despite extra bits and pieces that cropped up.

Joel is a rare breed of electricians. Honest, upfront, keeps to his word and if there is a cheaper or better way to do it he tells you. He had been working on a problem for us over a period of weeks and eventually he managed to isolate and fix the issue. Where others we had tried just gave up. I cannot recommend him enough. He didn't just fix what we asked him to but he also pointed out where we may have problems in the future and how to avoid them now. Great chap and a grafter. Thanks Joel.

Joel has been very helpful in carrying out some awkward smaller fixes - replacing two downlighters in a shower room, removing an old pond pump cable and installing a wall mounted electric heater - which had been hanging over us for ages. The quote was very reasonable and I was so impressed with Joel's professionalism and his willingness to find the best solutions for us, even when it meant spending extra time (without raising the cost). We are very pleased with the results.
