Wigan has seen a lot of new housing built around Standish, Orrell and Leigh in recent years. These homes have modern installations, so most requests are for upgrades: extra sockets, garden lighting, outdoor power and chargers for electric cars.
In the older terraces of Pemberton, Ince and Hindley, the picture is different. Wiring and boards that are decades old often need a professional inspection, and rewires are common when homes are renovated or let.

Wigan electrician FAQs
Will adding sockets affect my new-build warranty?
Warranties vary, so check yours. Work by a qualified electrician who certifies the installation is normally acceptable, but some developers ask to be told about alterations.
Do extensions need a new circuit?
Often. Depending on what's in the new space, an electrician may extend existing circuits or add new ones. Either way, the work should be certified.
Do Wigan electricians cover Leigh and Atherton?
Many work right across the borough. Your postcode determines who receives your request.
Homes and wiring in North West England
The North West's rows of Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and city-centre blocks of flats each bring their own electrical work. Terraces with solid walls and suspended timber floors are commonly rewired room by room or in one go, while city-centre flats tend to need lighting upgrades, fault finding and work coordinated with building managers. Rented homes make up a large part of the market, so landlord safety reports are in steady demand.
Much domestic electrical work in England must meet Part P of the Building Regulations. Choose an electrician who can certify notifiable work through a competent person scheme, and keep the certificates with your property documents. How to choose an electrician.
