Last reviewed:Housing age and consent in Mobberley
Here is what the official pages say about the village and the borough around it. The Mobberley conservation area dates from 1976 [S10]. The appraisal year shown is 2006 [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 Mobberley 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
A new bathroom in Mobberley that involves plumbing can need building regulations approval [S2]. Building regulations approval is not the same as planning permission [S2]. Fitting a kitchen or bathroom in a Mobberley home does not usually need a planning application [S5]. A listed house is different, so ask the council [S5]. An extension is a different question [S5].
Cutting tiles can create silica dust [S4]. Cutting methods are not covered here. When in doubt about a job in Mobberley, ask the council before work starts.
Ask for written quotes and compare them
Before you choose who does the tiling in Mobberley, work through these checks:
- Ask why if one quote is much lower [S1].
- Look for whether VAT applies [S1].
- Use the GOV.UK council finder to confirm your council [S6].
- Get every quote in writing [S1].
- Use a written contract, as TrustMark advises [S3].
- TrustMark's advice is to get three quotes [S3].
- Aim for at least three quotes [S1].
- Check insurance yourself [S1].

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 Mobberley bathroom need building regulations?
It can, if the bathroom involves plumbing. That approval is not the same as planning permission. Tiling on its own is not on that list. If your house in Mobberley is listed, ask the council. You can find the council through GOV.UK.
What should a Mobberley 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. Whoever tiles your Mobberley home, TrustMark says to use a written contract.
How many Mobberley tiling quotes are sensible?
Aim for at least three quotes. TrustMark gives the same advice. Check the insurance of any tiler you might hire in Mobberley. Each should be in writing. Ask about any much lower quote.
Do old houses in Mobberley 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. They are the stock at 31 March 2024. This page prints no housing total for Mobberley itself.
What does Profile reviewed mean for Mobberley?
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.
