Last reviewed:What the published figures say about Nantwich
This is what the council and the Valuation Office Agency publish that can matter here. The Nantwich conservation area dates from 1969 [S10]. The appraisal year shown is 2012 [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 Nantwich 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].
Plumbing work can need building regulations approval
Fitting a kitchen or bathroom in a Nantwich 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]. Installing a bathroom that involves plumbing can need building regulations approval [S2]. Building regulations and planning permission are separate [S2].
Cutting tiles can make silica dust [S4]. This page does not explain how to cut tiles. When in doubt about a job in Nantwich, ask the council before work starts.
How to get tiling quotes you can compare
For any tiling quote, these checks apply:
- Use a written contract, as TrustMark advises [S3].
- Check the trader's insurance [S1].
- Look for whether VAT applies [S1].
- Use the GOV.UK council finder to confirm your council [S6].
- Aim for at least three quotes [S1].
- Have each quote put in writing [S1].
- TrustMark tells homeowners to get three quotes [S3].
- Query any quote that is far lower [S1].

A sample tiling job, made up for this page
This example is made up and is not a real post from Nantwich. 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.
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 |
If one tiling quote is far lower than the others, ask what it leaves out.

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 Nantwich bathroom need building regulations?
A bathroom that involves plumbing can need approval. That approval is not the same as planning permission. Tiling on its own is not on that list. If your house in Nantwich is listed, ask the council. The GOV.UK council finder names your council.
What should a Nantwich tiling quote include?
Look for the room. It should also cover the prep and who buys the tiles. Look for whether VAT applies. TrustMark says to use a written contract.
How many Nantwich tiling quotes are sensible?
At least three is sensible. TrustMark also says to obtain three quotes. Each should be in writing. Check each trader's insurance. Ask about any much lower quote.
Do old houses in Nantwich change a tiling job?
Older houses can need more prep. If it is listed, ask the council. There is no housing total for Nantwich alone on this page. These housing counts are borough-wide. They are the stock at 31 March 2024.
What does Profile reviewed mean for Nantwich?
Profile reviewed is not a check on the business. Checking insurance and qualifications is still up to you. If something looks wrong, you can report a quote or a business from your job page.
