If you need an electrician in Chorley, K Volts Electrical Solutions can help. We are a Preston-based team with over nine years of experience, serving homes and businesses across Chorley and the surrounding villages with safe, tidy and fairly priced electrical work.
From Victorian terraces to Buckshaw Village new-builds
Chorley has an unusually wide spread of property types. Around the town centre and the Flat Iron Market you will find stone and brick terraces with wiring that is often decades old, while Buckshaw Village and other modern estates on the edge of town are full of recent builds that now need extras added.
In the older streets, we typically carry out part rewires, replace outdated fuse boards and bring kitchens and bathrooms up to current regulations. Chimney breasts, thick walls and original floorboards make cable routes tricky, so we plan each job carefully to keep disruption and redecorating to a minimum.
In newer homes the work is different. Owners ask us for EV chargers, outdoor sockets, garden lighting, extra circuits for a home office and smart-home wiring. We fit all of it neatly and test everything before we leave.
Typical electrician jobs in Chorley include:
- Part and full rewires for older Chorley properties
- EV charger installation for new-build homes
- Consumer unit upgrades with RCD protection
- Kitchen, bathroom and extension wiring
- Outdoor power and garden lighting
Chorley has a strong community of self-builders, renovators and young families moving into the town from further afield, and many of them are juggling several trades at once. We are used to working alongside plumbers, plasterers and kitchen fitters, turning up when we say we will and leaving a clear record of what has been installed and tested.
Landlord and commercial electrical testing in Chorley

Electrician in Chorley: your questions answered
How much notice do you need for work in Chorley?
It depends on how busy we are, but we aim to visit and quote quickly. For urgent faults, call 07585 686 087 and we will do our best to fit you in.
Can you install an EV charger at my Chorley home?
Yes. We survey your supply, consumer unit and parking position first, then install a suitable charger and test it. We can also upgrade your consumer unit if it needs it.
Do older Chorley houses always need a full rewire?
No. We test the existing wiring and explain the options. Many houses only need a partial rewire in the worst areas plus a new consumer unit.
Do you provide landlord certificates in Chorley?
Yes. We issue EICRs for rental properties, list any remedial work, and can complete that work so your certificate is satisfactory.
