Good work at a fair price. Harry looked like the kind of young man you’d be pleased if your daughter brought him home.

Service and installation was great. James quoted, and Harry fitted new chrome inserts throughout our house on to our switches and plugs. Really pleased with the finish.

James not only managed to fit us in on the same day, but was very capable, helpful and honest. He gave us a good quote, fixed our electrical problem straight away, and was clean and mindful in the property. I will be using Farthing for all future electrical issues, and definitely do recommend them to anyone in need.

James, is really responsive, arrives at scheduled time. Completed the work exceptionally well, for what was quite a tough job. Have used him in the past for our electrical problems at home, and will continue to do so - no hesitation in recommending.

James did a brilliant job fitting our shower fan. He has done several jobs for us over the last few years and has always provided a quality service, I highly recommend.
I had excellent service from James & Harry. The quote was done with James using an optional WhatsApp video call which I found very useful. They did a great job providing an EICR and two additional sockets for me. They were very professional, arriving on time and leaving everything neat & tidy. I would definitely recommend Farthing Electrical.
James has recently completed a complete rewrite of our flat which we moved into in the summer. James completed the work to a very high standard and worked extremely hard to complete the first fix work in as short a time as possible (even working over the weekend). The second fix was then completed by Harry who was also very competent. Harry also fitted some additional overcupoard lighting for us recently following installation of a new kitchen. We would have no hesitation recommending Farthing Electrical. Thank you James and Harry

We were very happy with the quick and efficient service we received. Many thanks for squeezing part on the job quickly before other work was done in the house. Would highly recommend.

A prompt response and work completed as and when promised. I needed work done quickly for my elderly mother and James was able to help us out. Many thanks.

I cannot praise James (and Harry) enough for the excellent work they carried out for me. In all there were eight different jobs for them to do in my house, And they kept me informed at every stage just to how things were going. They worked incredibly hard all day, hardly stopping for a break. They were very respectful of my needs, and The whole experience was free from any stress at all. And they did such a fantastic job tidying up afterwards, but I told them I hardly needed my cleaner to come the next day!
I’m extremely pleased with all the work that they’ve done, and would recommend them unreservedly As a professional and conscientious company who go the extra mile for you. A big thank you

James & Harry were on time both days, kept me updated & were very tidy. I would highly recommend.

Reply from Farthingelectrical
They were on time, did good clean work, took the time to double check things and make sure what I wanted was exactly where I wanted it.

Reply from Farthingelectrical
I really like the function of quoting over a call. Everything was scheduled quickly after accepting the quote and the electrician came on time and the issues we had were sorted swiftly. Payment was settled over a payment link which was safe and secure. Very glad we went with them! Will definitely be coming back if we ever had another issue with our electrics

Needed a small re-wiring job in one room. Electrician turned up pretty much on time, discussed requirements with me carefully then got on with it. Cleaned up mess well although they don’t take it away, which didn’t bother me. They don’t do replastering, again fine with me as we’re having the room decorated. Overall, efficient and polite. I didn’t do much research on going rates as this was a smallish job, but I thought it was pretty fair.

Economical, Efficient & Effective.
Farthing electrical, completed electrical work to have:
* Bedroom - Install double socket and repositioned satelite point.
* Install fused spur for junction box externally ready for a Ring flood light
* Bedroom- Install external IP rated socket - back to back from internal socket
* Bedroom- Install double socket.
Economy:
Quote was economical compared to others with good quality of materials used.
Efficiency:
Workman ship was of a high standard and professional. Quick response from receiving my quote to having the electrical jobs installed and completed.
Effectiveness:
Initial quote was done via video link proving very effective for carbon footprint. I received a reply in a timely manner and a date for work to be carried out.
Would highly recommend and use Farthing electrical again should I need.

I found Farthing Electrical through a google search and called for an emergency appointment following a small fire in my home. I had a really good experience of dealing with Farthing. Really helpful assistance on the phone, including a follow-up call back. An email quote was sent through for me to approve and James attended within a couple of hours. He did what was needed to make things safe (really put my mind at ease) and the invoice was exactly what I expecting it to be (no hidden extras). Overall, it was a good experience and exactly what I needed. I’m grateful for the prompt and professional service.

This is the second electrical system repair Farthing Electrical have carried out at our home. James is always very helpful, giving professional advice on the best solution to any electrical problems. He fitted in our repair at short notice, which was very helpful. I would recommend him to anyone requiring electrical work.
