Areas We Cover

Skelmersdale — new town housing, ageing consumer units.

Skelmersdale was built as a new town from 1961, designed to house overspill population from Liverpool. That means a lot of the housing stock — semis and terraces across estates like Digmoor, Tanhouse and Birch Green — dates from a fairly concentrated period, which shows up in a fairly consistent pattern of electrical issues.

What We See Locally

A lot of properties from that era have been rewired at least once since, but many still have older-style fuseboards without full RCBO protection, or consumer units that are simply due an upgrade. It's one of the areas where we do a steady amount of fuseboard work alongside general testing.

With the M58 running along the south of the town, Skelmersdale is a straightforward run from Ormskirk, so scheduling isn't usually an issue even for larger jobs across a few properties.

  • Common fuseboard age across 1960s/70s-built estates
  • Landlord EICR & PAT work across rental stock
  • Straightforward access via the M58 from our Ormskirk base
  • Comfortable working across ex-council and new town housing types
