On the last job we had a new consumer unit fitted. It was a very easy and quick process to book the job, get the quote and then book the date and time slot. James is always really quick in replying. Harry who works with James, came to fit the unit, he was efficient and resourceful as he had to work some things out in order for the unit to fit in the previous wall gap. James then came to do the relevant checks as it was quite a complex job. He advised us on a few things we needed to sort out at our end and it all went great. Work place was left clean and tidy. I never hesitate to recommend Farthing Electrical to anyone who needs a top electrician." > — Which? Trusted Traders Consumer (5.0, via Which? Trusted Traders) > "Farthing Electrical were working at a neighbours house. There was information on the van regarding services, when the electrican came out to the van whilst I was gardening I asked about replacement showers. The shower in my ensuite had broken a few years ago & water pressure was low in the bathroom shower. Later in the day the electrician called around to prepare a quote for replacing the two showers , he did explain water pressure would be low if washing machine or dishwasher were on at a time when having a shower. An emailed quote was sent later that evening. After consideration I decided to just go with the ensuite shower and a revised quote was promptly sent. I agreed the second quote and installment was arranged a few days later. The work was carried out promptly and the area left tidy. I was shown how to use controls etc. After a couple days when I was satisfied i paid invoice and gave a review. I am very happy with the whole process and would not hesitate to recommend Farthing Electrical for their timely efficient service." > — Which? Trusted Traders Consumer (5.0, via Which? Trusted Traders) > "James from Farthing completed two different jobs for us, and was both efficient and highly reasonable price wise on both jobs. He replaced a fan in the bathroom, which had become very noisy, with the minimum of fuss. He was quick and there was minimum disruption. The second job involved replacing and outside PIR light, and this proved to be more problematic, due to a failure of the wiring with the exterior brickwork. James spent a good amount of time finding the fault, by isolating the deficient wiring through a process of isolating the various different segment, and finally discovering the problem. He returned 2 days later to redo the wiring externally, and fit a new light. Once again, there was no mess, and the new wiring is very discreet and not noticeable at all This is excellent work by the highly professional gentlemen, and I am very grateful to him for resolving our issues with the minimum of fuss." > — Which?

Trusted Traders - Public evidence last checked May 2026 ## Before you hire an electrician _What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_ - In England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations — confirm they will handle that. - Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations. - Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done — it is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell. - Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile. - Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out. ## Contact - Phone: 01216744014 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders — https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/farthing-electrical-limited-2 Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
