Find a tiler in Disley
Tilers covering Disley should be asked for a written quote, and Cheshire East housing counts on this page are borough figures rather than a town total, and QuoteZila is starting in Cheshire, beginning with Crewe, Nantwich and Sandbach. QuoteZila is free for customers and local businesses.
Last reviewed:Local housing figures and conservation for Disley
The points below are taken from council and Valuation Office Agency pages. Designation years for Disley in the council's table include 1973 [S10]. The table also shows 1996 [S10]. The appraisal year shown is 2006 [S10]. The Higher Disley 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 16,080 properties built between 1973 and 1982 [S8]. These counts cover the whole borough. None of them is a count for Disley 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
If a bathroom job in Disley includes plumbing, it can need building regulations approval [S2]. That approval is different from planning permission [S2]. Fitting a kitchen or bathroom in a Disley 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].
Tiles contain silica, and cutting them can make dust [S4]. This page does not explain how to cut tiles. When in doubt about a job in Disley, ask the council before work starts.

A made-up tiling job
Here is a made-up example, not a real post from Disley: new tiles for the bathroom walls, any tanking in the shower named in the quote, and the old tiles taken out of the house.
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 Disley 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 Disley bathroom need building regulations?
If the job includes plumbing a bathroom, approval can be needed. Building regulations are separate from planning. Tiling on its own is not listed. If your house in Disley is listed, ask the council. The GOV.UK council finder names your council.
What should a Disley tiling quote include?
The quote should say which room it covers. Check the prep work and who supplies the tiles. It should state whether VAT applies. TrustMark advises a written contract for any job in Disley.
How many Disley tiling quotes are sensible?
At least three is sensible. TrustMark also says to obtain three quotes. Ask about any much lower quote. Get them in writing. Check the insurance of any tiler you might hire in Disley.
Do old houses in Disley 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. The stock date is 31 March 2024. There is no housing total for Disley alone on this page.
What does Profile reviewed mean for Disley?
The Profile reviewed label is not a check. 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.
