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.

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 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.

Joel was excellent- he is really knowledgeable and gave us great advice and suggestions to modernise the electrics in our 1960s first home. From the first point of contact, he was friendly and communicative. We needed an extractor fan in the bathroom and he liaised with another great tradesperson to build a new ceiling with ceiling lights - it’s been a real game changer and has modernised our bathroom. He also installed a new consumer unit and is helping us sort out new sockets and switches throughout the house. He’s really lovely and personable and gets the job done to a high standard, at a fair price. Would definitely recommend!

Joel has assisted us in electrical works throughout our pre-move in refurbishment work done from November 2022 to January 2023. The works that we have engaged his services on includes: consumer unit installation, lighting installations, sockets + light switches installation and intercom installation. He has always been prompt in responding to our request for service, provided us with detailed and transparent invoicing plus very polite in his dealing with us. His electrical work is top-notch, and he has helped us find solutions that best suit us such as getting an easy smart lighting set-up using Philips Hue system. For a first time home owner, his assistance throughout the process was very helpful for us as he guided us throughout the electrical work journey and has helped us feel confident in the electrical set-up in the property due to his tremendous work performed.

We had wiring for old wall lights that needed removing and making safe at the wall swich. Joel checked the wiring for us and discovered that the cables to the wall lights were connected to the circuit via a hidden junction box rather than behind the wall switch, which he explained to us clearly. This was before we moved in, so we didn't know how the wall lights had been fitted. As we are replacing the carpet in that room, he suggested looking under the floorboards for a junction box when the carpet is up and the floorboards can be lifted, and we agreed to get back in touch with him. He also replaced five wall switches for us. All the work was done quickly and neatly with minimum disruption to us

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.

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!

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.

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 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 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.

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 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 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.
