Joel Buckwell T/A Switch Green Electrical

Joel conducted an EICR in our flat and fixed the issues that were uncovered, this included replacing the consumer unit, changing the wires of ceiling lights and replacing sockets. The work was completed on time and within budget. Joel explained everything that needed to be done and answered our questions in details.

Switch Green did a full rewire of our property. Joel is professional, efficient and knows what he is talking about. Helped us through the process with ease and we couldn't be happier with the results. Would definitely recommend!

Joel carried out a range of electrical tasks of varied complexity (new features, replacing items, improving safety and sorting out a disorganised system) over 5 days with skill and professionalism. He is personable, hardworking, methodical and helpful, eg advising an external light fitting we were to buy wasn’t suitable. We are delighted to have a safer installation which meets current regulations as well as some super new light fittings.

Joel has been helping rewire our house since we moved in - changing light fixtures, installing extractor fans and doing EICR and moving lights. He's great, efficient, thorough and helpful with suggestions and very responsive to some of our ideas. Lucky to have found such a good electrician whom would not hesitate in recommending and working with again.

Joel carried out a number of small jobs for us. He was thorough, efficient and friendly. I would be happy to recommend him.

A number of new sockets installed, some sockets and switches upgraded/replaced, and ceiling lights affixed. Joel was friendly and respectful, with good communication all round. Original quote exceeded a little due to some unforeseen challenges, but all fair and agreeable. Would recommend highly.

I chose Switch Green Electrical because it was local to me. When Joel came to do the job we had a problem with the power to the outside light so another solution was needed. Joel came up with an idea which also included fitting an outside plug. Joel was very professional and reliable in every way. I would certainly recommend him.

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 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.

I've used Joel several times for various electrical jobs, big and small. He is hard-working, efficient and reliable. He's always friendly and courteous, and nothing is too much trouble. He also clearly explains any on-site issues and their implications. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him and giving 5 stars. Thanks Joel.

Really great stuff, booked a few weeks out and all great. Three small jobs completed in no time for a fair and reasonable price. Thanks

Joel is exceptional at what he does - we've used him many times and will continue to do so - very reliable, great work and very trustworthy.

We had a burnt out junction box which had taken out one of our kitchen lights. Joel identified the problem immediately and fixed within the hour. He was also kind, pleasant and organised to deal with - would use again!

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!

Joel installed new convection radiators in my flat in Dulwich. He is very professional arrived on sight promptly at a convenient time to me. The job was done quickly and very neatly. I won't hesitate to call Joel again and recommend him for domestic electrical works in the future. Thank you!

Joel installed a new socket for me in under an hour. Fixed a problem with the fuse board as a bonus. Very professional and neat job. Couldn't fault him. Excellent.

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.

Second time Joel has done some work for me and I wouldn't use anyone else - he's professional, polite and trustworthy. The go-to guy in this area.

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 did an amazing job of rewiring the house. He is professional clean tidy and very reliable a pleasure to use him.

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 have used Joel many times and have recommended him too. He has never let us down and never disappoints. 100% would recommend!

Joel has helped me with a couple of small jobs – lights that needed fixing/changing – and both times has been friendly, quick and charged a very reasonable price. Really couldn't ask for more in a local electrician.

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!

Joel was recommended to us by our neighbours. He did a great job for us replacing a plug socket. He was very friendly, arrived on time and completed the job in no time. We’re really pleased and would happily hire him again.

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.

I've used Joel a few times and he's excellent. Really reliable and provides great advice and electrical work.

Joel got the job done to a high standard, with a minimum of fuss. He was very friendly and clear about costs. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

Joel helped me pick new light fittings then ordered and fitted them with minimum fuss and maximum skill.

Super efficient, good advice on kit, excellent communication skills, charming manner. Highly recommended.

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.

Joel is an excellent electrician always giving advice whilst carrying out the highest level of work. I would recommend Joel to all.

Joel came to fix some spotlights and to wire in an under-cupboard light. He's friendly and charming and did a great job. Thoroughly recommended!

Joel worked on my kitchen refurb project and did all the electrics. He was excellent: easy to communicate with, very proactive and suggested solutions that I hadn't thought of and clearly very good at what he does. I'd definitely recommend him and I'll happily hire him again. Great job!

Joel came to diagnose / solve a couple of electrical faults caused by a previous installer. He was prompt, knowledgeable, great to deal with and went the extra mile to check several other related issues. His charges are also very reasonable. Highly recommended.

I called Joel late on a Sunday night when he was just going to bed, as I had a problem with a circuit tripping. He came out within minutes instead of going to bed, even though I had thought he couldn't do this. When he arrived the issue took only minutes to sort out, so he wouldn't take any money, even though he could have charged me at the emergency call-out rate. I was very grateful and look forward to when I need some more substantial work doing as I will definitely contact him.

We had a difficult problem with a circuit cutting out that could have meant having a complete rewire. Joel was able to locate the source and fix it without needing this. A really skilled person who I would definitely trust and strongly recommend for any electrical work.

We had a number of jobs to do with getting our apartment extension up to code. Some included replacing our ancient consumer unit and supplying electricity to the new room. Joel was very nice and easy to work with. His work was thorough and efficient. With the age of our electrics a couple of unforeseen issues came up but Joel demonstrated excellent problem solving skills which saved time and cost. He was also able to do some additional jobs. His quotes were clear, prompt and competitive.

Highly recommend Required various visits throughout 1st & 2nd fix of project Timely and courteous throughout Worked well & good communication with builder/project manager, and other sub contractors on project Works carried out: Re-position electrical sockets Re-position and additional LED downlights fitted Re-position programmer for boiler Connect electric supply to range cooker & integrated dishwasher Install extractor fan in utility room Replace fuse board Carried out full electrical certificate
