Replaced shower cabinet
Customer Service

Excellent service from start to finish. Initial visit to advise on options as existing unit was leaking from under the tray. Decided to replace the whole shower cabinet as the existing one was over 25 years old. The work involved both plumbers and electrician and this was coordinated by Farthings. I was kept informed throughout the installation. Great friendly people who fitted in with my other commitments. Removed all the rubbish and left the bathroom clean and tidy. A lovely surprise when I received a bouquet of flowers to thank me for my custom. Great touch. Customer service is first class.

When our boiler failed during really cold weather last February, Farthings attended promptly and we quickly had heating back on. In September it failed again so we decided on a new boiler which Farthings installed. Their service was excellent - friendly, helpful and efficient. We also needed help with a leaking toilet cistern and the prompt response from Farthings was brilliant. Can't recommend them enough, a first class company.

My boiler failed Friday lunchtime. Farthings attended and diagnosed a terminal fault. They then sourced a new boiler 25 miles away and had it running by Saturday lunchtime. Outstanding service! Although I have used Farthings for years for my annual boiler service, I have no service contract with them, or any other connection.

Farthings Plumbing & Heating installed a complete new bathroom for me (new floor, tiling, complete new suit and fixtures and fittings). They were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. From the initial consultation, planning, product offer and highly skilled plumber, tiler & all-rounder (a real craftsman) they cannot be faulted. They started when they said they would, were tidy throughout and went above and beyond. Their level of workmanship was exemplary. I have no hestitation in recommending their services.

Fantastic service all round from Darryl's quote to completion. James, our fitter was first class, he arrived at eight every day and always told us what was happening on the day. He was professional and friendly, he's a credit to the company. We were due to have an extractor fan fitted but when the electrician arrived he found this couldn't be completed as per the original quote. An alternative method was found and completed at no addition cost. We're more than happy with the work completed and would use Farthings again.

Bathroom refit

Farthings have carried out a number of jobs for us, most recently a complete refit of our family bathroom and en-suite. They are a professional outfit. You get a detailed quotation within a couple of days of their visit and they now have a great showroom at their premises in Glenfield which is a great help with choosing products and tiles etc. Their prices are reasonable and comparable. We were allocated Kelvin for our job, who arrived before 8 am every day. His workmanship is of the highest standard with great attention to detail. He is also very engaging, nothing is too much trouble including hoovering carpets at the end of each day. Our 2 bathrooms are fantastic, we could not be more delighted and we do not say that very often! We would definitely use Farthings again and are happy to recommend them.

We had used Farthings on a number of occasions but the last time was to refit our downstairs cloakroom. Farthings came and measured up and produced a plan which was perfect for the room. Once we had agreed to the plan the work was scheduled and completed without a hitch to a very good standard. Their showroom was a great source of inspiration as it contained lots of examples which made the choice of materials so much easier than trying to choose them online or from a catalogue. What was most pleasing is that the whole job was completed by the same person with no hanging around for different trades to complete specific aspects of the fit. The fitter was really good and did a lovely job from start to finish and kept us updated all through the fitting out. Would highly recommend Farthings and indeed we have further work which needs attention and we shan't be looking anywhere else.

Farthings supplied and fitted a new bathroom for us 3 years ago. The service from start to finish was first class. Unfortunately, due to a leak from the loo the vanity units were damaged with water ingress. On the day of the leak after a phone call Farthings sent a plumber within the hour who identified the problem and made the loo safe. Due to the lock down they were not able to effect a repair but as soon as the lockdown was lifted they were able to order the parts and complete a full repair in 2 weeks. Pretty impressive given the circumstances. The bathroom now looks like new again. Excellent workmanship and very tidy workmen who respect your property. Would definitely recommend.

Not a great experience
Customer Service

I called Farthings plumbers because the people that owned the house before me had some Farthings literature so I decided to call. The job was to fit a kitchen sink. The representative arrived and I showed him the sink which we took out of the box and he advised it would be no more than £80 + VAT which I thought was reasonable for providing a labour only service and gave him the go ahead The fitter arrived, did the job in 3 hours or so and left. A few days later, I received an invoice for £218.70. I called Farthings 4 times and someone said they'd get back to me but never did. I then eventually did get a call and the lady on the phone said she would send me a revised invoice. I received this and this was £188.70, a reduction because the fitter was waiting for materials or something. I have now written back disputing this and asking for a revised bill of £80 + vat. The letter that I received had no apology at all which was disappointing considering the time I have spent dealing with this. The sink was fitted adequately, however the fitter did forget to switch the tap isolator to the on position and I had to call him from the van, just as he was leaving to sort this out which he did. Furthermore, the blanking disc on the sink was not tightened properly and this is something I had to do myself.

Overall, the work was carried out very professionally and the finished job looks great.

New CH Boiler/Replacement of radiators
Customer Service
Quality
Value
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.

After waiting over two weeks for plumbers to come round to fix our boiler but never turning up or contacting us i finally went to this company.

True to their word, Wayne phoned before 9am on the Friday morning to check we were in as he was 10mins away. After checking the problem he had to phone around for a new PC Board. Whilst waiting, he went on another job. Not long after he phoned to say he had sourced the part and quoted a price. After the go ahead he returned later to repair the boiler.

The fact that Farthings fetch the rubbish each evening is , in my view a big plus. The standard of work was not an issue & Carl was ready each day to check with my "wife" if every thing was OK.

We wanted our bath taking out and a shower fitting together with wall cladding. The national firms that advertise heavily gave us horrendous quotes.

No fuss, no bother, excellent.

We chose Farthings to refit our bathroom based on customer reviews and were very impressed with their service from the initial contact to completion of the job. They arrived at the appointed time and provided a detailed, itemised quotation at a reasonable price; they were helpful in choosing furniture and sanitary ware and liased with our tile suppliers. The fitters arrived promptly every day and worked in a highly professional way, tidying up every evening; nothing was too much trouble for them; any issues were dealt with and resolved practically without fuss. The job was completed on time and we now have a lovely new bathroom, a quality finish. Farthings also provided a detailed, itemised invoice in line with their original quotation and then sent flowers by way of thanks! All in all an excellent company to work with and we would definitely use them again.

I was let down by another company. I contacted Farthing Plumbing & Heating and they came the next day at lunch time at the time arranged. He assessed the job and emailed me the quote by 8am the next day. I accepted on the condition that the job was done as soon as possible due to my wife's disability. Work was arranged for Tuesday morning and would take 1 and a half days to complete. The engineer came at 8.30, the old boiler was removed and the new one installed and was up and running by 1.30 that day, which is very good in my book. His engineer then carried on with various other jobs, such as flushing out radiators etc. and by lunchtime the next day, the boiler was commissioned and the other jobs completed. I was very pleased with the outcome and to top it all, a lovely bouquet of flowers arrived for my wife on Saturday morning with a card saying with compliments from all the team at Farthing (what more can I say). I shall be giving Farthing the service contract in the new year, then I will have peace of mind that the job will be done right.

Damaged my property
Customer Service

Farthings damaged my highly polished and expensive chrome shower whilst replacing a thermostatic cartridge ten days ago. The engineer did not deny he had to my wife. We reported the damage to their office and customer services and was told Paul Farthing a Director of the company would call back within two hours, he didn't nor the next day either. More than a week and a dozen calls later with me promising to visit their office to deal with it in person I finally receive a call to advise me the engineer denies causing any damage and I must have damaged it myself. I feel that this company is thoroughly untrustworthy in its approach, actions, and promises. They have lied to me and my wife for more than ten days and over a total of 20 calls made to them. I have been left with no option but to take them to court to recover my loss. Please do not make the same mistake I have, but as a principled person I refuse to be ripped off and will not be on this matter. RJ Weir 5/08/2016

I have used this company for several years but they seem to have deteriorated recently. I have experienced work done poorly (a new tap fitted that now moves and leaks), work incomplete (a pipe through a wall with an empty promise of returning to cement it in), work forgotten (an emergency call about a leak which I had to chase for a plumber to arrive two days later) and an admission that plumbers cannot arrive for previously agreed times (in this case over three hours late and no phone call to inform me of the delay). I have taken these issues up with the company owner with no satisfactory outcome.

I have used this company regularly over the years and have always found them to be reliable. They turn up when they say they will, explain what the job involves and generally do an excellent job which is good value for money. I wouldn't consider anybody else for plumbing and heating work.

From start to finish; the quote and the work; were carried out on time and with our interests at heart. The team completed the installation of the new boiler with the minimum of fuss and the minimum of mess. There was a problem, after about a week, with the boiler, but this was dealt with within hours and the outcome was a visit and repair, within an agreed time by the Worcester Bosch engineer, to the boiler under their guarantee.

Having had a boiler breakdown I thought that it would be unlikely that Farthings would be able to fit a new boiler before Christmas. However they pulled out all the stops & fitted the new boiler the next day. Fantastic service.

Communication seems to be an issue! Work completed before an estimate even sent, never mind accepted! Delays in generating and sending estimates architraving poor or unfinished quality. First estimate did not include compulsory items totalling nearly

I phoned Farthings at short notice for a boiler service and despite the busy time of year I was given an appointment on the day I needed. The service was completed quickly and efficiently and I will not hesitate to use them next time.

I would not touch this company with a barge-pole. As a vendor of an empty property I encountered this company when they came to undertake a central heating check. The system had been shut down for some time, and the water turned off. The outcome of their inspection was that they could not get the boiler to fire up, the PCB needed replacing at around £280 plus fitting charge, and in their experience there were likely to be other problems. Following this visit my brother visited the property, turned the water on to fill the system, and the boiler fired up with no difficulty. Everything appeared to be working fine. Clearly this was total incompetence on the part of the company and I wonder how many others have suffered unnecessary expenditure.

We needed to convert our existing oil-fired central heating system to gas. This involved installing a new gas condensing boiler in a new location, getting rid of a large steel oil tank and modifying pipework, tanks, radiators and electronics. Owing to the fact that this work was quite extensive (and the possibilities quite varied) I intended to get four quotations. In the event this turned out to be six. Having listened carefully to differing opinions and advice, and looking closely at the quality of written quotations, I decided to appoint Farthings to undertake the work even though their quote was at the upper end of all those received. I had not used Farthings before. The work was completed to a high standard and to schedule. Consideration was given to cleanliness and tidiness throughout with the minimum of disruption. Our needs and requirements were listened to and incorporated. Problems with radiators which had not been resolved by previous heating engineers were diagnosed and corrected very quickly. After a short time, I felt confident that this work was in good hands. So far (i.e. after a couple of weeks) all seems to be working very well with no problems experienced. I can recommend Farthings without hesitation. While not the cheapest, those undertaking the work were not only pleasant to work with, but also highly skilled.

After arriving home from holiday realised we did not have any heating. We are insured with John Lewis and have cover up to £1500 per visit for repairs. Eventually they send plumbers from Coventry. They look at it and say they will have to come back as he can't fix. Were left with no heating and it was during the freezing weather. We are both pensiones.After 3 days of calling got told we were not covered and we would have to pay approx. £900 to rectify and need flush out before we start. Called Farthings as they are local to us and they came out next day and managed to get the heating working. Did say that we needed a flush and would sort. They have since done this and cleaned out tank in roof. Only charged £350 for all three visits including various treatments put in system.
