As domestic electricians in Wigan that residents trust, we understand that rewiring your home is a significant investment.

Our team approaches each project with meticulous attention to detail, from initial planning to final testing.

We’ll assess your current usage patterns and future requirements, designing an electrical system that accommodates modern technology demands.

Whether your property has dangerous old wiring, you’re experiencing frequent electrical faults, or you’re renovating, our rewiring service creates a safe foundation for your home’s electrical needs for decades to come.

Several signs indicate your Wigan home might require rewiring.

If you have fabric-covered cables, round pin plugs or old-style fuse boxes with wooden backs, these are clear indicators of outdated systems.

Frequent tripping of circuit breakers, flickering lights, burning smells, or discoloured sockets suggest potentially dangerous faults.

Many local properties built before the 1980s still contain original wiring that doesn’t meet current regulations.

A house rewire isn’t just about compliance—it’s essential protection against electrical fires and shocks, particularly important in Wigan’s older housing stock where damp issues can compound electrical hazards.

How long does a house rewire take?

A typical 3-bedroom Wigan home rewire takes 5-10 days depending on occupancy. We work efficiently to minimise disruption, completing works in phases if you're living in the property during renovations.

Will you need to lift floorboards during a rewire?

Yes, accessing floorboards and possibly creating small holes in walls is necessary to run new cables throughout your home. Our team works carefully to minimise damage and can advise on how best to prepare your property.

Do I need to move out during a house rewire?

While not strictly necessary, most customers find it more comfortable to vacate during the main works. We can discuss scheduling options that work around your circumstances and can complete the rewire in stages if needed.

How much does a house rewire cost in Wigan?

Rewiring costs vary based on property size, condition, and specifications. A typical 3-bedroom semi in Wigan ranges from £3,000-£5,000. We provide detailed, transparent quotes following a free home assessment.

How often should a house be rewired?

The electrical regulations recommend rewiring every 25-30 years. Older Wigan properties with original wiring should be inspected, especially if you notice warning signs like frequent fuse trips or flickering lights.
