We've been offered free CWI as part of another scheme. The company doing it came out a few weeks ago to do the checks to see if it would actually be free for us, but they didn't check routing of wires.
It has just occurred to me that about 1.5m (maybe 2m) of our cables from the CU run in the cavity to the first floor - we had the floorboards up upstairs in the Autumn for plumbing work and you can see where they come back in. There are no cables coming out from the CU so I can only surmise they go straight out the back of it, into the cavity.
The house was built-in the late 50s/early 60s and from what I've read this was quite normal. However CWI was not around then.
The wiring seems pretty new - there's manufacturing dates of 2012 and 2013 on it and the CU is MCB based (but doesn't look brand new)...
