Homes and heating jobs in Wigan
Van is based in Wigan, so town-centre and WN1–WN3 calls usually get the earliest slots.
Wigan is the borough hub and has the widest range of housing we work on. Within a short drive you can go from Victorian terraces round Whelley to 1930s semis toward Beech Hill and then to modern apartments near the Wallgate quarter, close to Wallgate railway station and the Grand Arcade. Each of those needs a different plan for where the boiler sits, how the flue leaves the building and how the pipework is run.
Combi boilers are what most Wigan homes have, so combi faults and like-for-like combi swaps make up a large part of our week here. A straightforward swap is normally a one-day job at any Wigan postcode. We also see a steady number of older tank-fed systems, where owners want to know whether to keep a cylinder or convert to a combi, and homes with sludge and cold radiators that need the system cleaned before anything else is changed.
Sudden loss of hot water is one of the most common calls we take in Wigan. Where there is no heating or hot water and someone vulnerable lives in the property, we put that call first. We also look after light-commercial sites across the borough for small business owners and facilities managers.
