Alarm and camera installationWhy Choose Our Electricians in Wigan?
Wigan is built on coal, recorded as far back as a court case in 1246. The Wigan Coal and Iron Company was the biggest owner on the Lancashire coalfield and still employed nine thousand people in the 1920s. By the end of the sixties, two collieries were left. Colliery era terraces built close to pits that are no longer there, with post war estate housing filling the gaps they left behind.
What we tend to find: Rewireable boards still in service, rented stock certified late, and older terraces with buried joints and no access to them.
Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Wigan
Rented terraces and small commercial units make up most of the appliance testing here, usually because a licence or an insurer has asked for the paperwork. Every appliance gets a visual inspection first, because most faults are found by looking at the plug, the flex and the casing rather than by the tester.
Priced per item with no minimum call out, and the register is yours to hand straight to an inspector or an insurer.
Electrical Fault Finding Wigan
Older terraces hide their joints. Buried connections with no access are the most common cause of an intermittent fault we get called to.
The usual culprits around here are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: rewireable boards still in service, rented stock certified late, and older terraces with buried joints and no access to them.
Electrical Inspections and Testing Wigan
An EICR is a condition report, not a pass or fail certificate. On older rented stock it is also the document that decides whether a property can be let at all. Everything found is coded C1, C2 or C3.
Rented property needs one every five years or at change of tenancy, whichever comes first, and the report goes to the tenant within 28 days.
Accredited Electricians Wigan
Accreditation is the part most people never check, and it is the part that decides whether your certificate is worth anything. Our electricians in the area work under a scheme that audits the work, not just the paperwork.
NAPIT approved contractor, member 66463
Assessed on real jobs, not a desk exercise. Our registration can be checked on the NAPIT register before you let anyone near your board.
Registered Competent Person
The scheme that lets us self certify notifiable work and register it with building control, so you are not chasing a separate certificate.
Part P registered
Domestic work is notified properly, which matters the day you sell the property and a solicitor asks for the paperwork.
Fully insured, with every job certified
Public liability in place on every visit, and an EICR or installation certificate issued at the end of it rather than weeks later.
If you want to see the certificates before booking, ask. Our electricians would rather you checked.
Electricians Wigan - Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer fuseboard upgrades in Wigan?
Yes, we provide complete fuseboard upgrades throughout the area. Modern consumer units offer far superior protection compared to older fuse boxes, with RCD devices that disconnect power within milliseconds of detecting faults. We'll assess your current board, recommend appropriate upgrades, and install new equipment to current standards with full certification.
Do you offer LED lighting installation in Wigan?
Absolutely. Our led lighting installation service covers both domestic and commercial properties across the area. LED technology dramatically reduces energy consumption whilst providing better quality light. We can retrofit LED bulbs into existing fittings or install complete new lighting systems designed around modern LED technology.
Do you offer wifi security alarm installation in Wigan?
We install wifi security alarms that give you remote control and monitoring from your smartphone. These systems integrate sensors, cameras and smart controls into one unified security solution. We'll survey your property, recommend appropriate coverage, and install equipment professionally with full testing and handover training.
How often should fire alarms be tested in commercial premises?
Fire alarm testing frequency depends on your specific risk assessment and building use. Most commercial premises require weekly manual call point tests by staff, plus annual full system testing by qualified engineers. We provide comprehensive testing services that check every detector, sounder and control panel function, issuing certificates for your fire safety records.
What does emergency lighting testing involve?
Emergency light testing checks that backup lighting will function correctly during power failures. We simulate mains failure conditions and verify each fitting illuminates properly, provides adequate light levels, and sustains for the required duration. Testing happens monthly for quick functionality checks and annually for full discharge tests. Our service includes all testing, documentation and any necessary repairs.
Can you help landlords meet their electrical safety obligations?
Yes, we specialise in working with landlord electricians who need regular testing, certification and repairs across rental properties. We understand the legal requirements for private rented sector properties and provide efficient, cost-effective services that keep you compliant whilst minimising void periods between tenancies.
Do you work with letting agents in Wigan?
We have extensive experience supporting letting agent electricians who manage multiple properties. Our service includes fast response times, competitive pricing for volume work, and streamlined invoicing systems. We can work to your preferred schedules and provide all necessary documentation for your compliance records.
What makes HMO electrical requirements different?
Houses in Multiple Occupation face stricter regulations due to higher occupancy levels and shared facilities. Our HMO electricians understand these specific requirements, including more frequent testing intervals, enhanced fire detection systems, and additional safety measures. We'll ensure your HMO meets all current standards with appropriate certification.
How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies?
We offer rapid response for urgent electrical issues across the area. Power failures, dangerous faults, and critical repairs get prioritised with same-day or next-day attendance wherever possible. Our emergency service operates outside normal hours because electrical problems don't respect the clock. Call us any time for immediate assistance.

Rated 5.0 by homeowners and landlords
Word of mouth is still where most of the work comes from, and that only happens if the job is done right and the price is what we said it would be.
We needed PAT tests done at short notice and he did a great job. Highly recommend DH Electrical Services and I will definitely be using them again.
Dave was quick to respond and gave a very reasonable price. Lee came to carry out the work and did a very tidy and thorough job on a bank holiday Monday.
Dave and his team are fantastic and I highly recommend them. They have worked on 3 separate jobs for us so far as we slowly modernise our home.
Great service from Dave and his team. Friendly and did a great job. Needed power and plugs installing. Finished in two days. Would definitely recommend.
