5.0
Farthing Electrical Ltd is widely described by reviewers as professional, polite and easy to deal with, with many praising James and his office team for clear, prompt communication from quote to finished job. Reviewers repeatedly mention turning up on time, clean and tidy workmanship, and being kept informed, including by email, phone and video survey. One reviewer reports installing lamps of the wrong specification and, later, a failed lamp, and says the firm did not honour the warranty or Consumer Rights Act, sending a lamp of different wattage and beam angle; this reviewer says they would recommend people avoid the firm. The remaining reviews describe a range of jobs done well, including rewires, fuse boards, EICRs, EV chargers, sockets, lighting and smart home devices.
Useful & conviemient video survey follow by prompt, courteous & expert service. All at a very reasonable price.
Friendly and professional service. Very happy with works carried out which involved a few different jobs. Good communication. No hesitation in recommending and would use again. Thank you.
Used Farthing a couple of times now. Always good, clear communication and a job well done
Booked Farthing Electrical for an outdoor socket and ev install. Harry the electrician was on time and completed the work in a fast and efficient manner. Highly recommend
Amazing service from quotation to the work being carried out. Video call was easy and efficient. James gave various solutions and recommendations and was extremely thorough. Would highly recommend.
Very impressed I found Farthing Electrical to be extremely efficient, courteous and all round professional. They kept me informed by email of everything I needed to know including reminders about upcoming appointments. Quotes were very reasonable and the quality of work was great. Now that I've found them I would definitely use again for any future electrical work. More than happy to recommend them to friends and family. EE
James turned up on time and was professional throughout. Needed some trunking put in over meter tails and James finished the job to a good standard and also cleaned up after he was finished. Would recommend and would not hesitate to contact again for any electrical work.
I found Farthing electrical from many recommendations on the the local FB page. From the first call, everything was first class, The communication, the service and the work. I have more work coming up and will not hesitate to use Farthing Electrical again. I highly recommend
First time I have used Farthing Electrical and wouldn’t hesitate to use again and certainly happy to recommend. James responded quickly to my enquiry, quoted promptly and completed the work efficiently without delay and good communication. Thank you.
I contacted James when we needed an ECIR completed quickly, and he was incredibly helpful and understanding of our time pressures. He was professional, efficient, honest, and his workmanship was excellent. Communication was brilliant throughout, with clear phone calls and helpful email follow-ups so we always knew what was happening. His pricing was transparent and upfront, and he explained everything in straightforward, jargon-free language. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and easy to deal with. I would highly recommend James to anyone needing electrical work and wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again.
I have used Farthing electrical twice now, very professional and reliable. Both times everything was resolved promptly. Very approachable and short lead times.
James was recommended to us and we were delighted with the standard of his work. He was approachable, professional and we would recommend his firm.
I’ve had a few bits of work done by Farthing and can comfortably say I can’t recommend James and Harry highly enough. Have had experience with a couple of different electricians over the years and they’ve been the best by a long way. They’re incredibly professional and friendly, the work is very clearly carried out to a high standard and they leave the site clean and tidy by the end. Also love that they have a properly staffed office, which makes it so much easier to book in work than previous experiences of having to text someone while they’re busy with jobs and hope you get a reply. Lastly, but by no means least, they’re very reasonable on price for the level of service they offer.
Have been using Farthing Electrical for a couple of years for a variety of jobs while trying to restore an older house. Everything they have done has been top rate - but what really sets them apart is reliability and a good system of quick, easy and transparent quoting for work. Highly recommended.
Excellent workmanship, cleanliness and communication. Highly recommend- thanks James & Team.
I had excellent service from James at Farthing Electrical. The quote was done using an optional WhatsApp video call which I found very useful. He did a great job providing an EICR certificate for me with some additional work. He was very professional, arriving on time and leaving everything neat & tidy. I would definitely recommend Farthing Electrical.
James and Harry carried out first fix, second fix on my extension project. They were both professional, friendly and carried out works to a high standard. Would only ever use this company for any electrical work that will be needed in the future!
Trustworthy, honest and professional, would highly recommend 👌
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
Excellent service - professional and got sorted in quick time
They were on time, did good clean work, adding and moving some plug sockets and replacing our exterior lights. Took the time to double check things and make sure what I wanted was exactly where I wanted it. Would recommend.
Farthing Electrical came to fit a ring doorbell for us. They were prompt, reliable and did a great job. Even (patiently 😁) taking the time to show us how it worked. I would highly recommend them.
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.
Quality service; competitive prices ; informative and helpful quotes; excellent workmanship; hardworking ; everything clean and tidy afterwards. Second time using and will not hesitate yo use again!
James was excellent start to finish. Provided a quote promptly and booked us in for works. Arrived onsite and carried out all work required to a high standard and kept my house clean and tidy. 5* service.
Very happy with the work done by James. Great communication and clear advice before and during the EICR. All remedial work required carried out quickly and professionally. Would highly recommend!!!
Excellent work carried out by James. His communication was clear and he arranged his visit beforehand via email. He then followed up via SMS before visiting to install an EV charger. Extremely professional, would definitely use again.
Fantastic service from start to finish, polite and efficient from the quote to installation, would highly recommend, excellent service all round.
Fantastic!! All very professional, very prompt, the young man that did the work in my house was very clean and very professional I would recommend to anyone needing any electrical work doing and I believe they are very reasonable prices thanks for doing a great job!! 😁
We have used Farthing Electrical on several landscaping projects to carry out 230v electrical installations. James is a professional throughout working to high standards. Highly recommend!
Fantastic service!! James gave me a quote within a day of his visit, a few adjustments then it was job done within a few days!! Clean & tidy workmanship. I would use Farthing again and happy to recommend to friends & family.
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.
Paid £1500 for replacement of around 30 lamps. When James and Matt attended they initially installed lamps of the wrong specifications. I had requested the lamps to have a temperature of 3000k rather than 4000k. They had to come back a different day and replace the lamps with the correct ones so wasted my time. Around 18 months down the line, one of the lamps fails. Despite the 24 month warranty, James refuses to send me a lamp replacement of the same specification. Ends up sending me one with higher wattage and wider beam angle, which is inconsistent with the others in the room. Room now looks awkward and brighter in just one part like a spotlight. James tells me I should contact the manufacturer Bell for a replacement lamp instead of him despite familiarising him with the Consumer Rights Act 2015 he has breached (https://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/regulation/consumer-rights-act-aKJYx8n5KiSl#who-should-you-claim-against). Disappointing that I've paid James £1500 for this fairly straightforward work and he has failed to honour his warranty and the Consumer Rights Act. A lamp costs around £5, clearly £1500 was not enough for James. Recommend people avoid if they want someone who will keep their word regarding the warranty
If you want a professional, top class and reliable Electrician you cannot go wrong by phoning Farthing Electrical Ltd. Spoke to James via whats app and showed him what we needed done. We received a written quotation that day and were booked in that week. Turned up on time and went above and beyond by replacing a light fitting too. Thoroughly recommend James and his team. In a world where a lot of tradespeople don't turn up this was a very pleasant and positive experience. Farthing Electrical are now in my contact list and I am already recommending them.
Great efficient service. Everybody I dealt with was helpful and I am really happy with the work they did. I would definitely use Farthing electrical again.
Car Charging point installed recently. I got in touch with James recently to have a charger fitted and a week later its was done. Very impressed / good communication and work completed neatly. Will use again
I had Farthing Electrical around to do a few jobs for me and i have to say the experience was first rate from top to bottom, very helpful, professional and easy to deal with. Highly recommended.
Absolute spot on service, proper looked after my elderly parents.
Farthing electrical done a great job on my new lights throughout my home. James is professional and on time and did a high quality job. Highly recommend Farthing electrical.
James and Harry are brilliant! Helped me with the whole process with my house re-wire and extremely patient with the whole job. I really can’t write down how great they were. Highly recommend for anyone!
Polite efficient getting the job done at the time given. Excellent job.
We used James and his team to complete a full rewire of our 4 bed house whilst we were away on a weeks holiday. James always turned up when he said he was going to in the meetings before we went away as well as on the day the job started. They worked quick throughout our holiday to ensure the job was completed before our return. On return the work was completed to a high standard and as expected with minimal input from ourselves which meant we could enjoy our holiday as well. We wouldn’t hesitate to use James again for any further works in the future.
A brilliant service from Farthing Electrical. James and his colleagues all extremely accommodating and helpful from the start, and we have an excellent finish and best value. Utmost care for the detail and in follow-up. Turned our newly acquired house that needed full rewiring into a home with their thoughtful, dedicated approach and fine work. I and M O'Connor Robinson, Knowle
Spoke with James regarding a number of jobs that needed doing. Had a video call to survey and determine what work needed doing with James giving advice. The work was carried out in a professional timely manner and competitively priced. Second time I have used James and I wouldn’t hesitate in using him again or recommending him. 5 star quality.
Highly recommended friendly electrical services, completed new downlighters, sockets and Lutron lighting system to a professional standard. Went the extra mile and finished some additional work without any issues. Very reliable, on time and cleaned up afterwards. Already have more work lined up for them.
Excellent, would recommend to anyone.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Farthing Electrical. James and his team recently did an upgrade of my old 1970s-style domestic fusebox. I'm really pleased with the work; all the wiring is clean and tidy, everything looks great, and I can now sleep soundly knowing that my home is protected by all the latest safety features. James was punctual, very thorough and knowledgeable, and he responded quickly to all my emails etc. I'd definitely use Farthing again !
Farthing Electrical installed a new mesh wi-fi system and access points in my home. The whole process was professional, from booking all the way to completed job. James and Harry were polite and friendly. Highly recommended.
I wanted to change from a gas built in oven to electric. After the disconnection by gas safe i contacted Farthing Electrical. The office booked me in for a video call the same day. From that call and doing a video tour we agreed James would visit to test oven circuit. Visit was a couple of days later when circuit tested, and location for main oven switch identified. James noted would also create spur for cooker hood. We then arranged installation date when James fitted main oven switch and installed cooker hood spur, then installed oven. James also changed a couple of electrical sockets from white to silver, and a light fitting. All done efficiently and professionally. Good communication throughout and James professional and nice guy - very happy with way job was done. Would recommend 100%
Immediate response within a couple of hours . Polite friendly and helpful advice . Would trust and will certainly use again
Harry came and installed a Ring doorbell plus bathroom light fitting. Great professional service, very friendly, prompt communications. Would use again. Thank you
Had garden lighting installed and electrical sockets dotted around the garden. Excellent job done and everything I wanted doing, they were able to do. Garden looks amazing with all the spike lights. Really pleased we chose Farthing Electrical and will definitely contact them again if we have any other electrical work we need doing. Thank you.
James was recommended to us and has since come to the house twice to do work on our lighting system. On both occasions he has been helpful, efficient and done a neat, clean and tidy job. He has also been very good at communicating and turned up on time - not something that can be said of many of the trades people we have dealt with over the years! We will certainly be using Farthing Electrical again. Thank you, James 🙏
James was very professional and provided an excellent, service. He was always prompt and was competitively priced. Will definitely be using him again.

James and his colleagues completed a full rewire of our house to an excellent standard. When we updated drawings and added elements, there was no issue and James worked with us to move forward and make any changes necessary. We were very impressed with the clear and detailed quote provided and price point document. James and the team always turned up when they said, were on time and cleared up after themselves, which was greatly appreciated. Thanks for all your great work.
Excellent service once again. Engineer was polite, respectful and very tidy. Very efficient and speedy service. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Excellent service and communication before and during the work carried out. Provided detailed information following the initial inspection and during the remedial work, for which there was no obligation or pressure to use Farthing Electrical. Thanks James and Rich, great professional team.

Turned up when they said they would, sensibly had a video call before hand so they'd already sourced the parts then they got on with it and charged what they quoted. Friendly service. Thanks.
Very good company, will use again for future requirements.
Professional and prompt service. Work carried out with no fuss and engineer arrived promptly.
Over the past few months James and his team have completed an electrical fit of an outbuilding. Then following this, a complete rewire of our house, with some additional items. We have been really pleased with all the work, which has been completed to a high standard. James’s communication has been excellent throughout, explaining what the work will involve, whilst sharing ideas and solutions, which has been a huge benefit with these significant pieces of work. He and his team are punctual, polite and professional. I’d have no hesitation in making a recommendation and will certainly use again in the future.
Had some electrical work done with new lights and some general electrical work done, eg moving sockets and replacing bulbs/ switches and sensor lights put up. James is reliable and takes good pride with his work! His work is tidy and he is always very helpful should any questions arise whilst on the job. He is always there to help and his office team are also very friendly and sufficient with the bookings :) Thank you James!
On calling James he was very responsive and prompt in getting back to me. After explaining that our shower wasn't working he asked a few questions and then once answered he arranged a quote which was satisfactory. The electrician arrived the next day and carried out the work. He was on time, friendly and carried out the work in a safe manner. I would highly recommend Farthing Electrical.
James was able to locate issue very quickly and dealt with it extremely diligently. Extremely professional service that I would use again.

James and the team put a lot of time and effort into my 3 metre extension with complete new fuse board, lighting circuits and new kitchen appliances whilst having to deal with the Covid pandemic.

Would recommend to anyone👍

Fabulous Service! I called James to ask him to install a Defibrillator at Box Trees Centre, he arrived the next day and installed it free of charge as a goodwill gesture. He was here for at least 2 hours and insisted that he wouldn't take payment for installing it as it might save a life. I have never met James before but will certainly recommend him and use him in the future.
James was very professional - gave advice about smoke alarms before installation, installed a bathroom extractor fan and replaced a plug socket. He was very responsive to my initial request, gave a quote within minutes of a video consultation and arranged a date for the work to be carried out straight after a bank holiday.

I will definitely use James at Farthing Electrical again, should they need arise, and would definitely recommend him to anyone else 👍

James has done a few jobs at mine. First to fit smart doorbell and security camera and lights.

James recently did a number of electrical ‘odd jobs’ for me. I was delighted with his work and highly recommend him to others. He was very punctual, polite, helpful & reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be using him again.
My company has used Farthing Electrical in many of our projects, as I write this review Farthing Electrical are working on three of our current projects. The company director James is extremely knowledgeable and attention to detail is second to none. They are work with myself and my clients to exceed our expectations every time and highly recommend their services. A great business to work with
James and his team replaced the light fittings at our hair salon. Great service and skills, efficient with booking and during work, reasonably priced. If your looking for an electrician, look no further, you won’t be disappointed!
Highly recommended...prompt response & reasonable price. Supplied sockets & lighting to the garage & outside lighting to the garden.
Highly recommended. I recently had James and his crew out to complete some refit and new electrical work in my house: - The price was as expected - The quality of workmaship was high - They showed attention to detail - They created solutions to problems - They kept my in the loop at all times - They were tidy and respectful - They were prompt and efficient - They completed the work well in the time scale - They were flexible I've been let down by so many tradesman over the years, it was refreshing to have these guys in the house doing a great job. I will be using them again for future electrical work. Thanks guys!
Highly recommend James if you require any electrical work required. He is fast, equipped and efficient. Also flexible with the areas he covers in the Midlands.
Very professional service. Reasonably priced and great quality of work, even tidying up after he was done. Would definitely recommend!
Jim transformed our kitchen and bathroom by sorting the lighting out for us with minimal disruption despite having to re-do a previous electricians poor job. Couldnt reccomend enough, great service and great price and all done in a day.
Used James to install my hive, ring doorbell and had some additional plug sockets fitted. Very reliable and obviously takes pride in his work. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended.
