Switch Green Electrical

Joel replaced all the halogen spots in my flat with LED units, changed a couple of dimmer switches, made an update to the fuse box and fitted two double plug sockets. I also asked him to get my cooker hood and light working, but he told me I should try just changing the fuse first - and that worked. He came round to quote for the work soon after I contacted him, sent a detailed estimate promptly, and slotted the job into his schedule. I was very happy with the work, and Joel was great to deal with from start to finish, and a really nice guy.

Joel has carried out several jobs for me this year. He is an excellent electrician and his work is of the highest professional standard. Joel has rewired my new garden shed and replaced the cable running from the house to the shed. He has also replaced my fuse box, fitted a new extractor fan in the bathroom, repaired a socket and ceiling light and wired new light fittings and a doorbell. I am retired and Joel is respectful of my house and works in a diligent, efficient and orderly manner. His work looks good and he leaves no mess. The extent of his experience is evident in the solutions he recommends and I welcome his proactive approach in giving advice on components in my house that require updating. Throughout the work Joel was especially helpful, he suggested fittings, sending me links to look at and responded promptly to my queries in emails. All around Joel is also an absolute pleasure to work with.

Joel came twice earlier this month to repair our doorbell and a couple of faulty LED light fittings. On both occasions, he was punctual and very good at communicating what he was doing, and carried out the work in a competent and tidy manner. As it turned out that we needed a new bell, he explained what was needed and checked in the time between visits that we were happy with the model he was suggesting. We are very pleased with his work, and would certainly recommend him to others.

Joel conducted a comprehensive electrical survey which showed various issues to be expected in an older house including items not up to current codes and a disconnected earth left by Thames Water after installing a new mains stop cock. These were all factored into his quotation for the job which was to correct these issues and install a new fuse board. All the work was done to schedule even if it meant working late to get it done. He explained all the technicalities, replaced a faulty light circuit in the basement and downstairs toilet, installed a new combi microwave which had needed a higher rated supply than that already in situe, hoovered up after himself and came back promptly to fix a faulty light switch which we hadn't noticed when checking everything after the installation Joel is hardworking, professional, worth every penny and a thoroughly nice guy

Helpful, friendly and communicative when seeking quotes and advice. Very happy with a ventilation fan replacement, removal of an old consumer unit, wire removal and change of light fittings and smoke alarms. Would recommend!

It is the second time we rely on Joel for electrical work at our house. Each time he’s been extremely helpful, prompt and very nice. He helped us choosing the right fittings and gave us a clearer understanding of our old Victorian house’s electrics - explaining things thoroughly and being very open and transparent about the work we needed. He is very knowledgeable and we’re very happy our house is now safer (and in compliance) than when we bought it. Thoroughly recommend, we’ll rely on him again!!

I have had help from Joel 5 times now and I thoroughly recommend him and his work. On each occasion he ways polite, punctual and helpful. Recently he responded to an emergency call for me when water was leaking through a light fitting. He responded promptly and didn’t make a drama out of a crisis, but made sure I was safe. Joel knows the relevant regulations very well and you can be sure that his work complies with them. I have passed Joel’s details to friends and they have been equally happy with his work.

Second time employing Joel. Again, reliable, comes when he says he will! Complete pleasure to work with, talks jobs through in plan English, always ready to propose alternative, cost effective solutions. Responds promptly to combinations. Can't fault him. This time installing a bathroom extractor fan and new bathroom lighting.

I can recommend Switch Green Electrical without reservation. I had a different company carry out an Electrical Report but they found four things that 'required further investigation' and they didn't seem able to say what that might cost or involve. I contacted Joel who replied very promptly, looked at the report and called round next evening to have a look. He then sent me a much more sensible estimate and limited two items that did need further investigation to no more then 2 hours work - so I knew I was in control of the situation and costs. In the end he was able to do all the work, identify and resolve all issues and come in under his estimate - and below the previous company's estimate. He was always on time and kept me informed and involved in what needed doing. He came up with solutions that were not only much less work and cost than the other company but also far more workable, sensible and convenient, whilst being fully compliant and safe. This, I think, was due to his good experience and ability to problem solve. He is an experienced, highly competent, reliable, honest and trustworthy person. If ever I have any need of an electrician I would definitely call Joel.

Joel is the kind of tradesman you dream to find. He is professional, honest and thorough. You can be sure that he will not only do the work well ( leaving you in safety) but that he will not gauge or mislead you. No job is too small and he never patronises or talks down to you. I’d recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Joel sorted out some problems after building work left us without lights in several rooms. He was quick to respond to the query, clear and transparent about his pricing and easy to arrange a date with. He was on time, friendly and helpful, explaining the problems he found along the way. Thankfully an easy job for him, which he carried out quickly, efficiently and professionally. Highly recommend, and have already recommended to friends locally.

Joel is always a pleasure to work with. He carries out any work efficiently and is great at communicating his opinion and advice. Don't hesitate to book him in.

Joel's work is of the absolute highest quality. He delivers exactly to the brief and has a friendly manner which means it is a pleasure to deal with him. We feel very grateful to have found such a trustworthy trader to have on speed dial, and look forward to working with Joel again in the future.

Joel just fitted a new cooker hood after our old one broke down. He came to check out the job and gave helpful advice on what to order. He came to do the job itself very promptly and worked with care on a tricky fit. Everything was left very tidy afterwards. I would recommend Joel highly.

We recently purchased a Victorian conversion flat, and Joel has performed a number of jobs for us, including installing lights and electrical sockets, relocating a fuse board, running ethernet cable, and more. Throughout, he has been fast, professional and cost-effective. He's also just a generally nice guy. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

I contacted Joel to replace a socket, broken extractor and faulty kitchen lighting. He responded straight away, turned up on time and was very easy to deal with. He made really useful suggestions about how the lighting could be improved aesthetically and made more efficient he then quoted for the job the same day. On the day the work was to be done, he arrived again on time and completed the work without a hitch and with no mess left. I received the certificate for the work the same day it was completed. Joel is very friendly and helpful and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him in the future and can heartily recommend him.

Asked Joel to quote for both some works to the common parts of my block (lighting upgrade and integrated smoke alarms) as well as some lighting repairs and upgrades to my own flat. Joel was responsive from the first enquiry (not every contractor I contacted bothered to reply either way); turned up as expected to quote, clear and helpful in discussing the work required and how to resolve issues in the most cost effective way. Transparent, reasonable pricing. Pleasure to have in my home, very tidy and diligent. Got the job done exactly as I wanted. No hesitation in recommending him.

I would highly recommend Joel: his work is highly professional, he does the job and also goes the extra mile. He is extremely helpful and explains everything very clearly. Given electricity is a very important and risky thing, it is important to feel you are in safe hands. Joel is a rare find and I hope he never leaves the country!

Joel always is diligent and communicative and tells you exactly what is needed and sorts and the problem out when he says he will!! Top service and quality !

Joel turned upon time each day and finished the agreed scope of work exactly when he predicted. I greatly appreciated his honesty and transparency throughout, especially when telling me that certain things I asked about where in fact not needed (an apparently rare quality nowadays). I couldn't recommend him enough, and will use his services again in the future.

Joel replaced four old-fashioned ceiling lights, patched the ceiling holes and installed three surface-mounted lights and a pendant light above the dining table, as well as capping off a dangerously located socket under my sink. This was the fourth job that I've used Joel for, and he has always offered sensible advice on what the job would involve and helpful solutions to any issues encountered. He is polite, respectful, tidy and accommodating, he communicates well about the job, and is pleasure to have in the house. His work is good value, his quote for the work was accurate and he arrived and left on time. I would definitely recommend Joel to a friend and use him for future electrical work.

Joel came to do an EICR for me, following another contractor doing a really bad job. He identified all the issues, communicated clearly about what was required, how he would fix it, and reliably and promptly delivered. He has been incredibly easy to work with, 100% trustworthy, and would strongly recommend!

Joel installed new LED light fittings throughout my flat as well as installed a new pendant light, ceiling fan, and replaced my bathroom extractor fan. He took care to visit first to ensure his quote would be accurate and comprehensive - something I appreciated as this avoided any unexpected additional costs. The work was done well and as promised - he even went above and beyond to infill a hole in the ceiling that was left from one of my previous light fittings, and was sure to clean up as he went along. He also took the time to ensure the light levels and colours of my new fittings were as I wanted and showed me how to adjust everything if I wanted to in the future. When the work was done he did a thorough safety check to ensure everything was as it should be in order to issue the proper certificates. I highly recommend Joel and Switch Green Electrical.

Professional, thorough and prompt service from start to finish. I would recommend him without hesitation.
