All workers were friendly and helpful.Postal review24/09/2020A customer from LE19 tells us:
Work was carried out with minimal disruption and tradesmen were very polite and helpful.James18/09/2020Excellent service from the design to the fitting stage and all at a very competitive cost. The final result was a high quality downstairs cloakroom which is now a pleasure to use. The fitter was excellent and completed all of the jobs himself which was great as we did not have to wait around for different tradespersons to complete individual aspects of the refit.Postal review11/09/2020A customer from LE5 tells us:
I am very satisfied with the workmanship of Farthings. The fitters were friendly, polite and particular in how they completed the job. Gave attention to detail. They responded well to personal requirements. The bathroom & ensuite have been completed to a high standard.GILLIAN05/03/2020I have had a combi boiler fitted by Ryan plumber for Farthings. I am so pleased with how Ryan worked so hard. He is a credit to the firm. Would recommend to anyone.Kirstie20/01/2020An Age UK customer has been in touch to say:
"The employees at Farthings Plumbing & heating were hardworking and skilled. Even though it was Christmas Eve when they visited, there were no complaints and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend them."David04/12/2019Worcester boiler expertly installed by a highly-skilled plumber. An excellent job at a competitive price. I would recommend Farthings to anyone who needed major plumbing work.Alison20/11/2019My parents are 87 and 92. Farthings came to service their boiler and it hasn't worked since. It's winter. They have been back twice, charged over £300 and my parents still have faulty heating. Coincidently, the seven year guarantee ran out at the same time. I wonder if their plan was to recommend a new boiler. My parents are angry and confused. Farthings said they would pop round maybe tomorrow but failed to show up. They have now instructed another company to try and sort out the mess left by Farthings, at extra cost. I will be taking this further.Postal review04/11/2019A customer from LE4 tells us:

Excellent workmanship and customer service from Daryl and the team (Leon- boiler, Jason- wetroom).Phil17/07/2019They did a big job transforming an old kitchen into a shower room / toilet / utility room.

We are extremely pleased with the results of their hard work and would recommend them. Excellent job well done.Postal review02/05/2019A customer from LE5 tells us:
We had a complete bathroom replaced. The work was carried out exactly as agreed, to a very high standard and by a very pleasant team of workmen.Postal review02/05/2019A customer from LE2 tells us:
Used Farthings again for a boiler change. Gave competitive quote, turned up on time. Did a really neat job. Used excellent tradesmen. A well trusted local family company.kathryn18/02/2019Excellent service.
Farthings contacted us immediately, arranged to fit a new boiler very quickly and provided excellent service throughout. We had a few teething problems but Farthings could not have been better and visited several times to put things right and help us become familiar with the controls. So pleased we chose them.Roy04/02/2019Whilst the overall finish of the work was very good, there was poor communication at the initial quotation stage about how the work itself would be carried out and what it would entail. Greater detail here would have been welcome. We were also disappointed with the company response when the shower that was fitted did not work, although this was resolved satisfactorily in the end.Richard29/12/2018New boiler fitted 14/12/18 Worcester Bosch 30i. Fitted the day after ordering.Teething problems. Gas leak repaired but Gas not switched back on! Caused a few problems now sorted. However new problems with the timer and also the thermostat and with the Xmas holiday shutdown this inconvenience is so far unresolved.Chris10/11/2018Had 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 is still not fully resolved to my satisfaction. They ignore letters and e-mails until I chase them by phone. It appears they give a good price for the boiler and then hammer you for any subsequent repairs. Not at all happy! I would give them 4* for the boiler and 1* for the repairs.Stephen01/10/2018Prompt service - reliable came on the appointed day and time. I had a new shower fitted as mine had broken - very good job and reasonably priced. Happy with the service provided.Postal review18/09/2018A customer from LE2 tells us:
Excellent service and quality of workmanship. I would be happy to recommend Farthings.Postal review05/09/2018A customer from LE5 tells us:

Work carried out as requested, to a high standard.Postal review15/08/2018A customer from Leicester tells us:
Very competent work (central heating replacement) carried out by courteous engineer. Spending a lot of money we thought at least one visit should have been made during the work by the owner to monitor progress etc.Colin07/08/2018My wife & I have this company install a full & complete new bathroom & shower.The quality of work & the way Carl the fitter worked ( During the hottest two weeks) cannot be faulted.I know its a small thing but the fact they fetched the rubbish every day, I feel is a major plus with Farthings. Also having the chance to look at the units etc in their display office helps a great deal. I would be happy to recommend Farthings to anybody.Postal review31/07/2018A customer from LE3 tells us:
Efficient team and good communication.Michael21/07/2018I needed full central heating installed in my house. I was advised to get up to three quotes but I went to Farthings first. They did a full survey and sent me a very reasonable quote. I had already heard that they have an excellent reputation and are one of Which?Trusted traders. This was good enough for me so I accepted their quote. They completed the job in three and a half days, kept to the original quote, kept the house neat and tidy. I took out extra Home contents insurance to cover any losses or breakages but this was totally unnecessary. I would certainly book them again for any Gas or Plumbing work that I may need.Postal review17/07/2018A customer from LE67 tells us:
Very disappointed with the shoddy workmanship. Paid up after being threatened with extra charges if payment wasn't received immediately. This is the worst company we have ever dealt with.Adrian27/06/2018Very efficient, tidy and on budget
Farthings fitted a completely new boiler in less than 2 days. Very tidy, very little mess, even dust. All pipework looks secure and re-balanced the system so that parts of the underfloor heating network that hadn't worked for a while, now work!
Great customer service too.
Couldn't be happier.
