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.

Excellent Service

Farthing Electrical recently installed some external lighting for us. The initial install was completed efficiently and to an excellent standard. Unfortunately, one of the lighting units subsequently failed due to a manufacturing defect - There were absolutely no issues in arranging for installation of a replacement unit.

Overall top quality service delivered at a competitive price.

Excellent Electrician and trusted trader

I have known James since 2018 when he came to wire my new extension, install a new fuse board, chandeliers and downlights. He has since then installed the electrics for my hot tub. Although this job is not his biggest he is very professional in his approach and ensures that the customer is comfortable with whichever solution works best. I will definitely use James and his team again. I consider him one of my most trusted traders!
