What Rochdale wiring is usually like
Rochdale has some of the oldest housing stock we work in, long Victorian terraces through the town, Wardleworth and Castleton, stone cottages up towards Littleborough, Wardle and Norden and postwar estates in Heywood and Kirkholt. Age plus weather is the theme here: damp reaching old cabling in cellars, outbuildings and under stone floors and outdoor circuits that were never properly weatherproofed. On an EICR in this area, moisture-related insulation failures are the most common reason for a fail, so we test circuit by circuit rather than assuming the fault is where the symptom shows.
