These notes come from council and Valuation Office Agency pages. Designation years for Holmes Chapel in the council's table include 1987 [S10]. The table also shows 2024 [S10]. An appraisal has been published [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 Holmes Chapel 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 Holmes Chapel includes plumbing, it can need building regulations approval [S2]. Building regulations and planning permission are separate [S2]. Fitting a kitchen or bathroom in a Holmes Chapel home does not usually need a planning application [S5]. Owners of a listed house should check with the council [S5]. Extensions are treated differently [S5].
Cutting tiles can create silica dust [S4]. Cutting methods are not covered here. If you are not sure which rules apply to your home in Holmes Chapel, ask the council.

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 Holmes Chapel 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 by itself is not one of the listed projects. If your house in Holmes Chapel is listed, ask the council. The GOV.UK council finder names your council.
What should a Holmes Chapel tiling quote include?
It should name the room. The prep and who buys the tiles should be clear. Whoever tiles your Holmes Chapel home, TrustMark says to use a written contract. Make sure it says if VAT is included.
How many Holmes Chapel 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 Holmes Chapel. Ask for each in writing. A much lower quote needs an explanation.
Do old houses in Holmes Chapel change a tiling job?
Older houses can need more prep. If it is listed, ask the council. This page prints no housing total for Holmes Chapel itself. The counts here cover the whole borough. They show the stock at 31 March 2024.
What does Profile reviewed mean for Holmes Chapel?
It is a label, not a check. Insurance and qualifications stay your own checks. You can report a quote or a business from your job page if something looks wrong.
