Professional and respectful

The guys were very professional and treated my home with respect, they left the areas of work clean and tidy. I also appreciated the FaceTime before any work was carried out to ensure the quote was accurate. Pricing was competitive too.

Quick, neat, knowledgeable and very very good

My daughter used James (Farthing electrical) when she had extensive work carried out on her house and I used his firm last week as I needed new security cameras fitting and 4 fixtures taking down. I had a quick response from the office and video call from James and a most immediate quote, which I accepted on line very easily. Harry came out at 0800 as agreed on 26june and did a great and neat job of replacing my old cameras.
Very very happy with the work carried out… I will def use in future if I need an electrician… thank you

Was recommend Farthing electrical via facebook

Was recommend Farthing electrical by the local community and very glad to have received this. James was excellent even when I had to shift dates about and felt he cater for me rather than him. He addressed the work, even went above and beyond of the issue.

James will be the first and only contact for future electrical work.

A pleasure to deal with

We’ve used James (at Farthing Electrical) a few times now. He’s always been efficient, knowledgable and pleasant to deal with. On the last occasion we needed him quickly and he responded exceptionally quickly. It turned out to be a simple problem (I’m embarrassed to say) but James sorted it and gave us a very fair price.

So happy to have found a reliable electrician…

I contacted James about some additional sockets, and he replied almost immediately. We had a FaceTime call where I was able to show him where I needed them. He was able to tell it was a relatively simple fix and was able to fit us in very quickly. Harry, who did the work, arrived a little early and worked quickly and efficiently. He kept any disruption to an absolute minimum and left the area spotless. It is such a relief to find a good electrician as I have other jobs and would not hesitate to call on Farthing Electrical again

Professional Service at Reasonable Price

We had problem with our patio lights and also have a few other small electrical jobs. Sent a message on WhatsApp and James replied straight away and came to ours the next day. We used Farthing Electrical for a few years now and James always turn up at agreed time and really professional and at reasonable price. I would recommend Farthing Electrical and will keep using them.

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…

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
