The Wigan borough is large and takes in Wigan town, Leigh, Atherton, Tyldesley, Hindley, Ince, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Standish and Orrell. Much of the older rented housing is terraced, built for mining and mill families, with interwar council-built semis and modern estates around the edges, especially in Standish, Leigh and Golborne.
Former council houses that have been bought and let privately are common here. Many were rewired in the 1970s or 1980s, which means the cable may be fine but the consumer unit and protection devices may not meet today's recommendations.
Will an older rewire in Wigan fail an EICR?
Not necessarily. Many Wigan homes were rewired decades ago with sound cable but no RCD protection. Missing RCDs are often coded C3 or C2 depending on the circuit and situation. Only C1, C2 or FI observations make the report unsatisfactory, and the electrician will explain each code.
A lot of Wigan homes were rewired decades ago with sound cabling but without RCD protection, which protects against electric shock. A lack of RCDs on socket circuits is a common observation on reports. The electrician will explain what the code means for your property and whether action is required.
