Last reviewed:Conservation, housing counts and building control for Wilmslow
This is what the council and the Valuation Office Agency publish that can matter here. The Hawthorn Lane conservation area dates from 1980 [S10]. The Highfield conservation area dates from 1988 [S10]. The St Bartholomew area dates from 1988 [S10]. The Styal area dates from 1975 [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 29,830 properties built before 1900 [S8]. These counts cover the whole borough. None of them is a count for Wilmslow 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 a bathroom job in Wilmslow includes plumbing, it can need building regulations approval [S2]. Building regulations and planning permission are separate [S2]. Fitting a kitchen or bathroom in a Wilmslow 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].
Tiles contain silica, and cutting them can make dust [S4]. Cutting methods are not covered here. If you are not sure which rules apply to your home in Wilmslow, 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 Wilmslow bathroom need building regulations?
If the job includes plumbing a bathroom, approval can be needed. Building regulations are separate from planning. Tiling on its own is not listed. If your house in Wilmslow is listed, ask the council. The GOV.UK council finder names your council.
What should a Wilmslow tiling quote include?
The quote should say which room it covers. The prep and who buys the tiles should be clear. Make sure it says if VAT is included. Whoever tiles your Wilmslow home, TrustMark says to use a written contract.
How many Wilmslow tiling quotes are sensible?
Aim for at least three quotes. TrustMark gives the same advice. Each should be in writing. A much lower quote needs an explanation. Check the insurance of any tiler you might hire in Wilmslow.
Do old houses in Wilmslow change a tiling job?
Older houses can need more prep. A listed house should check with the council. There is no housing total for Wilmslow alone on this page. The counts here cover the whole borough. The stock date is 31 March 2024.
What does Profile reviewed mean for Wilmslow?
It is a label, not a check. Insurance and qualifications stay your own checks. If something looks wrong, you can report a quote or a business from your job page.
