Last reviewed:Housing age and consent in Middlewich
Here is what the official pages say about the town and the borough around it. Middlewich itself is named, with no appraisal [S10]. The canal stretch dates from 1992 [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 14,100 properties built between 1930 and 1939 [S8]. These counts cover the whole borough. None of them is a count for Middlewich 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].
Bathrooms, kitchens and building regulations
If the bathroom job 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 Middlewich home does not usually need a planning application [S5]. If your house in Middlewich is listed, ask the council first [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 Middlewich, ask the council.

A made-up tiling job
This example is made up and is not a real post from Middlewich. 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 Middlewich tiler it comes from.
