Absolutely amazing service

Absolutely amazing service! Rang them in the morning due to a faulty fire alarm and James was able to come the same day!

James was very quick, knew what he was talking about and did not over charge. What got me the most was, how honest he was.

Will recommend to anyone.

The work was carried to an excellent excellent standard. I subsequently asked for an internal light to be moved 3 cm. They came back and did this without any hassle.
Would use them again and do not hesitate to recommend them.

Excellent work and service from James at Farthing Electrical.
James did two lighting repairs & upgrade jobs for us, then returned a few days later to do a third job, which we discovered whilst he was here.
Top quality work, delivered very efficiently, and at a very fair price - and with great customer service.
Great stuff James - thank you

A professional and understanding…

A professional and understanding company. James is easy to communicate with and makes sure you understand without being patronising. As a lone female my experience of electricians has been blighted by people not turning up or turning up, half finishing a job and feeling uncomfortable with vague explanations and high bills. James has been excellent in ensuring I am aware of what is being done, delivering what he quotes for and returning to sort out any glitches. Thank you.. I had almost given up hope of getting things sorted

EICR for a Home Move

James helped us out recently with an EICR as part of a home move. Professional and courteous, he went out of his way to fit us in at short notice, and carried out a full and thorough check on the property, which highlighted a few issue to us that we would otherwise have been unaware of. We will absolutely be getting him back in to carry out the work once the sale goes through. We would also have no hesitation in using Farthing Electrical for any future work that we require.

Quick action,

For some weeks, I have been struggling to find an electrician to check a non-functioning night storage heater. Promises to drop by to have a look never materialised. I finally gave up and googled some words and found Farthings. A short conversation and a promise to come two days later at 3 pm.

Sure enough, a man called James arrived bang on time. No messing about and he was straight on the job. He quickly identified the problem replaced a defunct part and even tidied up after himself.

The storage heater did what it should that night and no problem since.

I would highly recommend Farthings.
