Short answer
Wallingford is an old Thames town with about 150 listed buildings in its conservation area. Six Article 4 directions cover streets in the centre, so many outside changes need planning permission. Low land by the river is floodplain. A handyman here needs to work with care on old fabric.

Which Wallingford streets have Article 4 directions?
Six groups of streets. South Oxfordshire District Council lists Beansheaf Terrace and Croft Terrace, and part of Castle Street.
It also lists Kinecroft Terrace and Church Lane, and St John's Green. St Peter's Street with the east end of the High Street is covered too.
The last is St Leonard's Lane with the south end of Thames Street. In these streets, ask the council before any change to a front.
How many listed buildings are in Wallingford?
About 150 in the conservation area, the council appraisal says. Two are listed at Grade I and eleven at Grade II*.
The council first designated the conservation area on 22 January 1969.
Listed building consent covers changes inside and out. Ask the council before any work on a listed building.
Is Wallingford at risk of flooding?
Some parts are. The council appraisal describes flat, low-lying floodplain beside the River Thames.
Check your address on the GOV.UK long term flood risk service. Keep air bricks, gutters and drains clear.
In the Wallingford and Brightwell area, 16.5 per cent of homes date from before 1919, the VOA says.
Who lives in Wallingford homes?
A mix of ages. In the 2021 Census, 21.5 per cent of residents were 65 or over.
Some 16.2 per cent of the 3,703 households were one person aged 66 or over. Terraced houses held 26.2 per cent of households.
In a terrace, talk to your neighbour before work on a shared wall, gutter or fence. Agree in writing who pays for what.
Owners lead here too: 34.8 per cent of households owned their home outright in 2021.
What should a Wallingford handyman leave to others?
Gas and notifiable electrics. By law, only a Gas Safe registered engineer may work on a gas boiler, fire or hob.
GOV.UK says new circuits and electrics near a bath or shower fall under Building Regulations.
Flats are a fair share of homes here. In 2021, 16.9 per cent of households lived in a purpose-built flat, so check your lease before outside work.
