Last reviewed:Housing age and consent in Wistaston
Here is what the official pages say about the village and the borough around it. Wistaston is not named on the council's conservation area list. The council's conservation area table is the source for that [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 Wistaston 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].
When a tiling job needs approval
Installing a bathroom 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 Wistaston home does not usually need a planning application [S5]. If your house in Wistaston is listed, ask the council first [S5]. Extensions are treated differently [S5].
Tiles contain silica, and cutting them can make dust [S4]. This page does not give cutting instructions. If you are not sure which rules apply to your home in Wistaston, ask the council.
How to get tiling quotes you can compare
A few checks make tiling quotes in Wistaston easier to compare:
- Use a written contract, as TrustMark advises [S3].
- The GOV.UK finder names the council for your address [S6].
- TrustMark tells homeowners to get three quotes [S3].
- Ask about insurance, then check it [S1].
- Look for whether VAT applies [S1].
- Query any quote that is far lower [S1].
- Collect at least three quotes [S1].
- Get every quote in writing [S1].

A made-up tiling job
This example is made up and is not a real post from Wistaston. 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.
Comparing quotes line by line
| 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 Wistaston tiler it comes from.

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 Wistaston bathroom need building regulations?
It can, if the bathroom involves plumbing. Building regulations are separate from planning. Tiling by itself is not one of the listed projects. If your house in Wistaston is listed, ask the council. The GOV.UK council finder names your council.
What should a Wistaston 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 Wistaston home, TrustMark says to use a written contract.
How many Wistaston tiling quotes are sensible?
Try to get at least three. TrustMark gives the same advice. A much lower quote needs an explanation. Check the insurance of any tiler you might hire in Wistaston. Each should be in writing.
Do old houses in Wistaston change a tiling job?
Older houses can need more prep. If it is listed, ask the council. The counts here cover the whole borough. They show the stock at 31 March 2024. There is no housing total for Wistaston alone on this page.
What does Profile reviewed mean for Wistaston?
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.
