Joel is highly regarded in this neighborhood and I suspect he has too much work due to how many people recommend him. He is very professional and I could not recommend him enough.

Joel was a pleasure to work with and we have already booked him back in to do more jobs at the house. He was able to provide really helpful advice and guidance all at a very reasonable price which has been really appreciated as we've just moved in to a house that needs a lot of work!

Have reviewed Joel before, but he's been back several times since as I've needed other work done. Always so reliable, trustworthy, does a great job and always reasonably priced. Such a valuable name to have on my contacts list!

Joel at Switch Green Electrical was recommended to me by my parents. They appreciate great workmanship and value for money so I already knew he would do a great job. Joel completed two batches of work for me. On the first visit he tackled a long list of small but annoying electrical tasks that I'd left unfixed for too long. These included replacing broken dimmer switches and checking flickering lights. He listened patiently to my concerns and clearly explained the options for fixing these issues. At the end of the first visit, I consulted Joel about installing under cupboard lights. He offered good advice and a very reasonable quote so I asked him to return to complete the job. I'm so glad I did because they have made such an improvement to the kitchen lighting. Joel is very organised and efficient, and he left the area where he worked clean and tidy. He is also a very personable and interesting person with excellent knowledge of his trade. I would not hesitate to recommend him to you!

It was a very good experience, and I couldn't be more impressed with Joel's professionalism. Communication was always clear and timely, and they took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense.

We’ve used Joel three times now for different jobs and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. He’s turned up on time for every job, has been great value, and always takes the time to explain things clearly. He even helped us out with an electrical emergency when he was on holiday and wasn’t around which we really appreciated. It’s such a relief to have someone reliable, professional, and easy to communicate with. We’ll definitely keep calling on him for future work.

I am SO grateful Joel at Switch Green was recommended to me. I’ve used his business three times and he’s probably the first contractor who has felt genuine, kind and trustworthy. Joel listens and explains, with care, the options available to resolve the issue, ensure electrical safety and completes work efficiently. He’s also a genuinely lovely person which always helps when you have someone in your home! Thanks for your help Joel!

Joel just completed a partial rewire for us whilst we were doing some DIY renovations, and I couldn't recommend him enough. He was bang on time for every visit, provided a very competitive quote which he stuck to, gave really good practical advice, and completed the job very neatly. What's more, he was great company for chats as I worked alongside him. I really couldn't recommend Joel highly enough and will definitely be reaching straight out to him for any future electrical work we might (will) need!
