Oldham's housing grew up around its cotton mills, so much of the rented stock in Glodwick, Werneth, Coldhurst and Westwood is stone or brick terracing built before 1919. Chadderton, Royton and Shaw have more interwar and post-war semis, and Saddleworth villages such as Uppermill and Delph have older cottages, some of them in rural spots with long driveways or limited parking.
Many older Oldham homes have been rewired at some point, but not always completely. Electricians often find an older lighting circuit left in place after the sockets were replaced, or outbuildings and cellars fed by cable that does not meet current standards.
Does an EICR in Oldham include cellars and extensions?
Yes. An EICR covers the whole fixed installation, including cellars, rear extensions and outbuildings supplied from the house. In older Oldham terraces these are often where wiring is oldest or most altered, so please make sure they can be reached safely on the day of the inspection.
