Last reviewed:What the published figures say about Audlem
Here is what the official pages say about the village and the borough around it. The Audlem conservation area dates from 1969 [S10]. The appraisal year shown is 2008 [S10]. The Woore Road conservation area dates from 1981 [S10]. The Cox Bank conservation area dates from 1994 [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 29,830 properties built before 1900 [S8]. These counts cover the whole borough. None of them is a count for Audlem 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].
When a tiling job needs approval
Fitting a kitchen or bathroom in a Audlem home does not usually need a planning application [S5]. Owners of a listed house should check with the council [S5]. Building an extension is a separate matter [S5]. A new bathroom in Audlem that involves plumbing can need building regulations approval [S2]. Building regulations and planning permission are separate [S2].
Cutting tiles can make silica dust [S4]. This page does not explain how to cut tiles. If you are not sure which rules apply to your home in Audlem, ask the council.

Jobs you might post

- Retiling bathroom walls. Say which walls are included.
- A shower area. Check whether tanking is in the price.
- New kitchen floor tiles. Note the surface underneath 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 Audlem.
How to compare the quotes
| Line | What to check | If the line is blank |
|---|---|---|
| Rooms | Which room was priced | Ask them to name it |
| Prep | Whether old tiles go | Ask for a prep line |
| Tiles | Who buys the tiles | Ask for the range |
| Tanking | What sits in the shower | Ask for a yes or no |
| Waste | Who takes debris away | Ask who removes it |
| VAT | How the figure is written | Ask if VAT applies |
A much lower quote needs an explanation, whichever Audlem tiler it comes from.

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 Audlem bathroom need building regulations?
If the job includes plumbing a bathroom, approval can be needed. That approval is not the same as planning permission. Tiling on its own is not listed. If your house in Audlem is listed, ask the council. The GOV.UK council finder names your council.
What should a Audlem tiling quote include?
The quote should say which room it covers. It should also cover the prep and who buys the tiles. Look for whether VAT applies. TrustMark advises a written contract for any job in Audlem.
How many Audlem tiling quotes are sensible?
Aim for at least three quotes. TrustMark gives the same advice. Ask about any much lower quote. Each should be in writing. Check the insurance of any tiler you might hire in Audlem.
Do old houses in Audlem change a tiling job?
An older house can need more prep. A listed house should check with the council. The housing counts on this page are for the whole borough. The stock date is 31 March 2024. There is no housing total for Audlem alone on this page.
What does Profile reviewed mean for Audlem?
Profile reviewed is not a check on the business. Checking insurance and qualifications is still up to you. You can report a quote or a business from your job page if something looks wrong.
