Short answer

Buckingham has an old market centre on the River Great Ouse, ringed by homes built since the 1970s. About two thirds of homes date from 1973 or later. Several central streets are in a river flood warning area. The old centre is a conservation area, so check before outside changes.

Handymen in Buckingham by service

How new are Buckingham homes?

Newer than the England average. In the Buckingham North and South areas, 36.2 per cent of homes on the Council Tax list date from 1973 to 1999. Another 32.1 per cent were built in 2000 or later.

The old core still counts. Some 10.5 per cent of homes date from before 1900.

Very few, 4.4 per cent, are from between the wars. So most jobs are on either quite new or quite old houses.

What sort of households live in Buckingham?

Mostly families in houses. In the 2 Buckingham wards, the 2021 Census counted 8,736 households. Of these, 40.9 per cent lived in a detached house.

Flats are rare. Only 8.3 per cent of households lived in a purpose-built flat, against 17.1 per cent for England.

Some 183 households were in shared ownership. If that is you, ask the housing association who repairs what.

Which Buckingham streets are at risk from the Great Ouse?

Several near the river. The Environment Agency flood warning area for low lying land names Nelson Street, Hunter Street, Chandos Road, Well Street, Ford Street and Stratford Road.

A wider warning area adds places such as West Street, Bostock Court and Cornwall's Meadow.

In these streets, keep air bricks clear and know where to turn off your water and power.

Does the conservation area limit small jobs?

For some outside work, yes. Buckinghamshire Council lists a Buckingham conservation area for the historic centre.

Inside it, you need planning permission to clad a wall or to put a satellite dish on a wall facing a road.

Listed buildings need more care. Buckinghamshire Council warns that works without listed building consent can lead to prosecution.

What should Buckingham tenants and landlords know?

Renting is common in parts of the town. In the 2 wards, 16.8 per cent of households rented privately in 2021 and 12.0 per cent rented from a social landlord.

A landlord must have gas appliances checked each year by a Gas Safe registered engineer, HSE says. A handyman cannot do that check or sign the record.

Small jobs between tenancies, such as patching walls, new door handles and sealant, are routine handyman work.

Questions

Can a handyman fit a new gas hob in Buckingham?

No. Connecting a gas hob is gas work. The law says only a Gas Safe registered engineer may do it for pay.

How do I sign up for Great Ouse flood warnings?

On GOV.UK. The Environment Agency runs warning areas for the River Great Ouse at Buckingham.

How do I check if my Buckingham house is listed?

Search the National Heritage List for England, or ask Buckinghamshire Council.
