We had the complete bathroom replaced. The work was carried out exactly as (and when) agreed to a very high standard and by a very pleasant team of workmen.

New shower and bathroom flooring

Overall, the work was carried out very professionally and the finished job looks great. With hindsight, we would have liked greater clarity prior to the start of the work on what was entailed and how it would be done. We were disappointed with the company's initial response when the new shower did not work correctly and it was another week before this was resolved.

Farthings fitted a new Boiler and an emersion tank. They came on time and invoiced me for no more than was agreed. They were able to send 2-3 work persons to complete the work and take time to explain how they worked. Everyone was helpful and polite. When I 'thought' something may have gone wrong, a representative called in within the hour.

The company are very impressive and they are very helpful and they gave the right advice for the right boiler to be fitted. The boiler fitted is a Worcester Bosch 29 CDI. They are very professional and satisfactory job done in time. I personally can recommend anybody to go to this company.

Old (15 years) Worcester Bosch Greenstar kept faulting out. Cost of parts required against new boiler. Decided new - ordered 13/12 delivered 14/12 & fitted efficiently. Tuesday smell of gas - leak in pipe. Fitter rectified but failed to switch gas back on. Phone call directed how to regain gas supply! Screwdrivers required! Fingers crossed all ok with new boiler.

Came on time. New boiler fitted in one day, despite having to run piping further than expected. Polite, cleaned up, came back as explained.

New CH Boiler/Replacement of radiators
Customer Service

Had a new boiler installed end of August 2018 on an existing heating system. All went very well, good price, efficiently installed. Make sure you hide your toilet rolls and kitchen towels because the engineers aren't equipped with cleaning materials. A week after a radiator started leaking (due to age) and the nightmare began! They were supposed to send a written quote, when it didn't arrive I asked for verbal prices and was given them without VAT, and no mention that VAT was excluded. They also charge full manufacturers recommended retail prices for parts, when radiators can be bought at any plumbers merchant for almost half the price, including VAT. They also charged labour while the engineer waited for a second radiator to be delivered to my property. Invoice was £100 more than I expected. I complained, and after 2 months it was still not fully resolved to my satisfaction. They ignore letters and e-mails until chased by phone. It appears they give a good price for the boiler and then hammer you for any subsequent repairs. Finally resolved to my satisfaction on 14/11/18 after contacting Which Trusted Traders for assistance. I have used them on previous occasions without problem.
