Last reviewed:Conservation, housing counts and building control for Goostrey
The points below are taken from council and Valuation Office Agency pages. Goostrey is not named on the council's conservation area list. The council's conservation area table is the source for that [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 Goostrey 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
A new bathroom in Goostrey that involves plumbing can need building regulations approval [S2]. Building regulations and planning permission are separate [S2]. Fitting a kitchen or bathroom in a Goostrey 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].
Tiles contain silica, and cutting them can make dust [S4]. This page does not explain how to cut tiles. If you are not sure which rules apply to your home in Goostrey, ask the council.

An example job note (made up)
This example is made up and is not a real post from Goostrey. 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 |
| 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 Goostrey 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 Goostrey bathroom need building regulations?
A bathroom that involves plumbing can need approval. Building regulations approval is different from planning. Tiling on its own is not on that list. If your house in Goostrey is listed, ask the council. You can find the council through GOV.UK.
What should a Goostrey 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. Whoever tiles your Goostrey home, TrustMark says to use a written contract.
How many Goostrey 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 Goostrey. Get them in writing. A much lower quote needs an explanation.
Do old houses in Goostrey change a tiling job?
Older houses can need more prep. A listed house should check with the council. This page prints no housing total for Goostrey itself. These housing counts are borough-wide. They show the stock at 31 March 2024.
What does Profile reviewed mean for Goostrey?
It is a label, not a check. 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.
