Short answer

Most Gerrards Cross households live in detached houses, often with large gardens and long fences. The town grew fast between the wars and after 1945. Two conservation areas cover the Common and the older centre. Jobs here are often gates, fences, sheds, painting and small repairs.

Handymen in Gerrards Cross by service

What homes are in Gerrards Cross?

Mainly detached houses. In the 2021 Census, 57.2 per cent of the 3,408 households in Gerrards Cross ward lived in a detached house. That is more than double the England share.

Social renting is low, at 6.1 per cent. Private renting is higher, at 20.2 per cent, and 18.2 per cent of households lived in a purpose-built flat.

Another 67 households lived over a shop or in another commercial building.

When was most of the town built?

In three waves. In the Gerrards Cross area, 16.9 per cent of homes on the Council Tax list date from 1919 to 1939. Another 30.1 per cent are from 1945 to 1972.

Building has carried on. Some 24.2 per cent of homes date from 2000 or later.

HSE links asbestos to buildings built or refurbished before 2000. In the older homes, ask how the firm will check first.

Which conservation areas are in Gerrards Cross?

Buckinghamshire Council publishes one appraisal for the Gerrards Cross Common and Gerrards Cross Centenary conservation areas.

In these areas, you need permission to clad outside walls. A satellite dish must not face a road.

Most work to trees there also needs 6 weeks notice to the council. That includes cutting back large branches.

What are the rules for gates and fences?

The 1 metre and 2 metre limits apply. A gate or fence next to a road used by vehicles can be up to 1 metre high without permission. Elsewhere it can be up to 2 metres.

Some estates have planning conditions that remove these rights. Check your planning history before you replace a front fence.

A handyman who puts up a fence over the limit does not get the permission for you. That is your job as owner.

What jobs should go to a registered trade?

Gas and some electrical work. Only a Gas Safe registered engineer may work on a gas boiler, fire or hob for pay.

Garden lighting on a new circuit, or a new supply to a garden office, is notifiable under Part P.

Some 34.4 per cent of Gerrards Cross households had a mortgage in 2021. A buyer may ask to see certificates for electrical or gas work when you sell.

Questions

Can a handyman wire an electric gate in Gerrards Cross?

Fitting the gate is fine. A new outdoor circuit to power it is notifiable work. Use a registered electrician for that part.

Is Gerrards Cross in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Our check put the town outside it. Check your own address on the Natural England map.

Do I need consent to paint my front door in a conservation area?

Usually not, for a house. Painting is permitted development under Part 2 Class C. A listed building may need consent.
