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.

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!

First time I used Switch Green Electrical and extremely glad I did. Joel replaced 16 recessed downlights for LED's, replaced an extractor fan and fit a spur to enable the relocation of a tumble dryer. His work and finish is excellent. Everything was within the agreed budget and the work was completed well within schedule. During the initial consultation Joel was very helpful in advising us on the best way to run an additional spur to ensure that the work was not only safe but, aesthetically pleasing, even though it potentially meant extra work for him to avoid using trunking and with minimal disruption. We found Joel to be very polite, friendly and trustworthy. We will definitely use his service again for our electrics.

Spectacular work by Joel
Customer Service

Joel did a spectacular job doing the electrics for my kitchen renovation, putting in spotlights, adding new plug sockets throughout the flat, and replacing my switchboard. Joel’s work was of a very high standard and also a reasonable price! He offered lots of advice and explained to me what was necessary at all stages. Joel was very flexible and happy to work around my renovation schedule, and worked well with my other tradespeople. He was polite, professional, honest, trustworthy, super friendly, and genuinely a lovely guy. He also recommended my kitchen fitter who turned out to be superb! I can’t recommend Joel enough and definitely won’t be using anyone else in the future. I’ve already recommend him to my friends who are hoping to move to the area.

Joel was great. Showed up within a couple of days to give me the quote, really spent the time understanding the work I wanted done, and helped me understand that one particular job would have been just way too complicated to try and pull off. I had to chase to get the quotation (not the end of the world), but we set a date and Joel stuck to it, and arrived bang on time. Work was completed quickly, he was very considerate of me working from home when he needed to turn off sockets etc. Great guy all round. Be warned though, he doesn't drink tea. It's a bit weird, but just go with it.

Joel changed the fuse box, rewired all existing sockets, added new sockets, fitted dimmer switches, fitted new lights across the flat (recessed and hanging), fitted under cupboard LEDs and new smoke alarms. Everything he has done is great and as I asked (and more as we went on). He worked really well alongside the other contractors in the flat and was always super friendly. I couldn't recommend him enough and will not be using anyone else for any future work.

We found Joel through Which? Trusted Traders and he helped us with a number of jobs for our property, this included fitting lights, new switches and installing a new oven. Joel was great to work with, really helpful and provided some great suggestions that we hadn't thought of ourselves. He completed the work to an excellent standard and left everything as he found it and super tidy. We would recommend Joel without any hesitation!

A complex and messy rewiring job done really well
Customer Service
Quality
Value
Joel completed a complex and messy job of rewiring our downstairs lighting circuit, after we had had persistent problems with fuses popping out. He had ascertained also that some sections were unsafe and not up to current standards. It's a large Victorian house that has been subject to major alterations in the past, and the cabling is all over the place. Several floorboards had to be lifted, and some of the problems took a lot of ingenuity to sort out. But we needn't have worried - Joel was well up to the challenge, and completed the work on time, within budget, and with the minimum of fuss and mess. He was a real pleasure to work with and we will be happy to use him again.

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.
