Last reviewed:Local housing figures and conservation for Bollington
This is what the council and the Valuation Office Agency publish that can matter here. The Bollington conservation area dates from 1976 [S10]. The appraisal year shown is 2006 [S10]. The Cross and Lowerhouse conservation area dates from 1993 [S10]. The Kerridge conservation area dates from 1973 [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 21,120 properties built between 1965 and 1972 [S8]. These counts cover the whole borough. None of them is a count for Bollington 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].
Planning permission and building regulations for tiling
If a bathroom job in Bollington includes plumbing, it can need building regulations approval [S2]. Building regulations approval is not the same as planning permission [S2]. Fitting a kitchen or bathroom in a Bollington 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]. This page does not give cutting instructions. If you are not sure which rules apply to your home in Bollington, ask the council.

A sample tiling job, made up for this page
This example is made up and is not a real post from Bollington. The bathroom walls need new tiles, the shower part of the quote should name any tanking, and the old tiles need to leave the house.
Put the quotes side by side
| 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 |

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 Bollington 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 on that list. If your house in Bollington is listed, ask the council. You can find the council through GOV.UK.
What should a Bollington tiling quote include?
The quote should say which room it covers. The prep and who buys the tiles should be clear. TrustMark advises a written contract for any job in Bollington. Look for whether VAT applies.
How many Bollington tiling quotes are sensible?
Try to get at least three. TrustMark also says to obtain three quotes. Check the insurance of any tiler you might hire in Bollington. Get them in writing. Ask about any much lower quote.
Do old houses in Bollington 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 Bollington alone on this page.
What does Profile reviewed mean for Bollington?
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.
