Why Choose Our Electricians in Wigan?
Full property rewires require careful planning and skilled execution. Our Wigan electricians handle these projects efficiently, minimising disruption whilst ensuring every aspect meets modern safety standards. We start with a thorough survey of your existing installation, identifying any issues and designing an improved system that serves your needs both now and in the future.
The house rewires process involves installing new consumer units, circuits, cabling, sockets and switches throughout your property. We work methodically, room by room if needed, so you can continue living or working in the space. Evening and weekend appointments are available for your convenience.
Our approach keeps mess and inconvenience to absolute minimums. Cables get routed carefully to avoid unnecessary damage to walls and ceilings. Where we do need to make openings, we patch and make good afterwards. Every new component gets tested rigorously before we issue your Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), giving you complete documentation for insurance and future buyers.
Rewiring also presents an ideal opportunity to add extra sockets, upgrade lighting circuits, or install USB charging points. We’ll talk you through all the options during our initial consultation, helping you make informed decisions about your electrical upgrade.

House Rewires Wigan
Regular pat testing protects both people and equipment by identifying electrical faults before they become dangerous. Our Wigan electricians test all portable appliances in domestic and commercial settings, from kettles and toasters to power tools and office equipment. Each item receives a visual inspection followed by electrical safety tests tailored to its specific type and use.
Testing covers several critical areas. We check protective earth continuity to ensure fault currents can flow safely to ground. Insulation resistance tests verify that cable and component insulation remains intact. We measure leakage current to detect any electrical leakage that could cause shocks or fires. Polarity checks confirm that live and neutral connections are wired correctly.
After testing, every appliance gets a pass or fail label with the next test due date clearly marked. You receive a comprehensive register listing all tested items, their results, and any recommendations. This documentation proves essential for insurance purposes and demonstrates your commitment to safety, particularly important for landlords, offices, and commercial premises.
Failed items get taken out of service immediately. We can often repair minor faults on the spot, or advise whether replacement makes better economic sense. Our systematic approach means nothing gets missed, and you gain complete peace of mind about electrical safety across your property.

Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Wigan
Electrical problems rarely fix themselves. Tripping circuits, flickering lights, and dead sockets all indicate underlying issues that need professional attention. Our fault finding service in Wigan quickly identifies the source of electrical problems using systematic diagnostic techniques and specialist testing equipment.
We start by gathering information about the symptoms. When did the problem first occur? Does it happen at specific times or when certain appliances run? This detective work often points us towards the likely cause before we even pick up a meter. Experience plays a huge role here – we’ve seen thousands of electrical faults over the years and can often predict where issues lurk.
Advanced diagnostic tools help us pinpoint problems accurately. Thermal imaging cameras reveal hot spots that indicate loose connections or overloaded circuits. Insulation resistance testers identify cable damage. Earth loop impedance meters measure protective device performance. We combine technology with expertise to track down even the most intermittent or complex faults.
Once identified, we explain the problem clearly and provide options for repair. Some fixes are straightforward and can be completed immediately. Others might require replacement components or even partial rewiring. We give you honest advice about the best solution for your situation and budget, then carry out repairs carefully to restore safe, reliable power.

Electrical Fault Finding Wigan
Periodic electrical inspection testing keeps your property safe and legally compliant. Our NAPIT registered electricians conduct thorough surveys of domestic, commercial and industrial installations, providing the certification you need to demonstrate safety to insurers, buyers, tenants or regulatory bodies.
Testing involves detailed visual examinations combined with electrical measurements at key points throughout your installation:
- Continuity testing verifies that protective conductors, bonding, and earthing arrangements work correctly, ensuring fault currents can flow safely
- Insulation resistance measurements check the integrity of cable insulation, detecting deterioration before it causes problems
- Polarity tests confirm that all connections are wired the right way round, preventing dangerous situations
- Earth fault loop impedance testing measures how quickly protective devices will disconnect the supply in fault conditions
We issue comprehensive Electrical Installation Condition Reports after every inspection. These documents detail our findings, rate the overall safety status of your electrics, and provide clear recommendations for any necessary improvements. Remedial work gets prioritised by urgency, so you know what needs immediate attention versus what can wait.
Inspection frequencies depend on property type and use. Domestic properties typically need testing every five to ten years, though rental properties require more frequent checks. Commercial premises follow different schedules based on their specific activities and risks. We’ll advise the appropriate testing interval for your situation and send reminders when your next inspection falls due.
