Professional

Professional, friendly service and extremely helpful. Turned up to do the 4 jobs exactly on time. I found the WhatsApp video call to show what work was required to provide an immediate quote extremely helpful and a novel way of doing things. Will certainly use them again if necessary.

Excellent All-Round Service

Excellent All-Round Service. I read about them on the Which Website and rang Farthing Electrical at around 10am in the morning. I explained the small job I wanted done to James and he gave me a quote on the phone (backed up instantly by email) which I accepted immediately. James told me that Harry would visit us about 4.00pm that afternoon to do the job. Harry arrived as promised and did a brilliant job. I would recommend Farthing to all my family and friends without any hesitation

Light fittings replaced

I needed two light fittings replacing in the bedroom. From my initial phone call to completion of the job everything was exactly as promised, from the quote to the job being done. The result is excellent and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely use this company for any future work.

Great job fixing outside lights

James was very responsive & professional to deal with. We had an overly complicated and messy outside lighting system which James managed to meticulously work through, fix what he could and replace what he couldn’t. We’ve very pleased we now have outside lights working again!

Bathroom lights

Just before Christmas our bathroom lights failed. We looked online for a local electrician and, having read the positive comments regarding Farthing Electrical, phoned James to describe the problem. He was sympathetic and booked us in for the next day. His colleague Harry came ahead of time, completely changed all the fittings and made an excellent job of it. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company and would certainly use them again.

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

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.

Best electrical company

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.

Quality job

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.

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.

Re-wire

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
