Conservation, housing counts and building control for Alderley Edge

The points below are taken from council and Valuation Office Agency pages. Designation years for Alderley Edge in the council's table include 1974 [S10]. The table also shows 1998 [S10]. The appraisal year shown is 2022 [S10]. The Davey Lane conservation area dates from 1989 [S10].

The Valuation Office Agency counts 188,880 properties across the council area [S8]. That is the stock at 31 March 2024 [S8]. The same table counts 14,100 properties built between 1930 and 1939 [S8]. These counts cover the whole borough. None of them is a count for Alderley Edge alone. The agency rounds its counts to the nearest 10 [S9].

The council's building control team is on 01270 375256 [S7]. The council's building control page says building regulations approval is separate from planning permission [S7].

Plumbing work can need building regulations approval

A new bathroom in Alderley Edge that involves plumbing can need building regulations approval [S2]. That approval is different from planning permission [S2]. Fitting a kitchen or bathroom in a Alderley Edge home does not usually need a planning application [S5]. Owners of a listed house should check with the council [S5]. An extension is a different question [S5].

Cutting tiles can create silica dust [S4]. Cutting methods are not covered here. When in doubt about a job in Alderley Edge, ask the council before work starts.

Get at least three written quotes

For any tiling quote in Alderley Edge, these checks apply:

  • Agree a written contract [S3].
  • Aim for at least three quotes [S1].
  • Ask about insurance, then check it [S1].
  • Look for whether VAT applies [S1].
  • Use the GOV.UK council finder to confirm your council [S6].
  • Get every quote in writing [S1].
  • Ask why if one quote is much lower [S1].
  • TrustMark's advice is to get three quotes [S3].

Jobs you might post

These are examples, not taken from real job posts.

  • A shower area. Check whether tanking is in the price.
  • Bathroom wall tiles. Note which walls are part of the job.
  • A splashback. Say how long the run is.
  • A kitchen floor. Say what surface is there now.

A made-up tiling job

The example below is made up. The bathroom walls need new tiles. The quote for the shower should name any tanking, and the old tiles should be taken out of the house. It is not a real post from Alderley Edge.

Frequently asked questions

Does QuoteZila check the businesses?

No. We don't check insurance, qualifications or registrations, so please check these yourself before you hire. You can report a quote or a business from your job page.

Does a Alderley Edge bathroom need building regulations?

It can, if the bathroom involves plumbing. Building regulations are separate from planning. Tiling by itself is not one of the listed projects. If your house in Alderley Edge is listed, ask the council. You can find the council through GOV.UK.

What should a Alderley Edge tiling quote include?

The quote should say which room it covers. Check the prep work and who supplies the tiles. Whoever tiles your Alderley Edge home, TrustMark says to use a written contract. It should state whether VAT applies.

How many Alderley Edge tiling quotes are sensible?

Aim for at least three quotes. TrustMark also says to obtain three quotes. Ask for each in writing. Check the insurance of any tiler you might hire in Alderley Edge. A much lower quote needs an explanation.

Do old houses in Alderley Edge change a tiling job?

An older house can need more prep. If it is listed, ask the council. The housing counts on this page are for the whole borough. They show the stock at 31 March 2024. This page prints no housing total for Alderley Edge itself.

What does Profile reviewed mean for Alderley Edge?

Profile reviewed is not a check on the business. You still need to check insurance and qualifications yourself. If something looks wrong, you can report a quote or a business from your job page.
