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.

Joel has been fantastic. He been doing bits and pieces at our flat for a little while, which isn't always easy as it's an old converted building that initially had some very strange wiring. He's restored circuits with the minimum of disruption and damage and put right non-standard work done by another contractor and upgraded various switches and radiators for us. I've recommended him to a few friends who all have had great experiences too.

Joel fixed our garden lights last month and I was so impressed that we asked him back to sort out the kitchen unit lights which he did very efficiently, leaving no mess. I would definitely recommend him.

Joel rewired all appliances and lighting to our new kitchen and extension. We were supplied with a detailed quote. Work was completed on time and too schedule. He was extremely helpful in the planning stage, identifying areas and giving options we hadn’t thought of. The work completed was to a high standard, on time with no hidden costs. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Joel responded really swiftly to my quote request and then fitted our work in as rapidly as possible. He communicates well, was really helpful in advice given, did not try to talk us into any unnecessary expenditure and in fact, did not do work that he decided was unnecessary once arrived - thus reducing my expense and his income from my job. Very honest and reliable. I would definitely recommend him and will most certainly use him again.

What a lovely guy! Joel came and did a couple of very small jobs (that most electricians probably wouldn't touch) and was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable... I would highly recommend him!

Another electrician had left us with a bathroom cabinet lights not working, Joel quickly identified the problem and came up with a cost effective solution for us. He was polite, reliable and value for money.
