Highlights
"James is a great individual and fixed the issue we brought him around for straight away. He went above and beyond and looked into the issue further and made suggestions and about how to improve the system in the long term."
"James and the team were reliable, super clean and considerate. James himself was very thorough, conscientious and patient in taking the time to explain everything and talk us through the different decisions. I will definitely use James/Broadway electrical in the future and highly recommend."
"We suddenly lost all power to all our sockets one evening, with no obvious reason. We called James out of hours, and he kept us informed about what time he would get to us, then arrived as promised and managed to make a temporary fix. He then sourced the replacement part the next day, and returned to complete the task. James was so helpful and we were really pleased with the service. Definitely recommend and would use again! Thank you."

Smart checks
Before you hire an electrician
In England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations — confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done — it is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
