Your project in the canton of Basel-Stadt
Basel-Stadt is an urban canton made up of the city of Basel and the municipalities of Riehen and Bettingen. On both banks of the Rhine, Grossbasel and Kleinbasel combine old townhouses, early twentieth-century apartment buildings and contemporary architecture. The old town, with its steep lanes and inner courtyards, can make vehicle access tricky. Greener Riehen has mainly villas, while hilltop Bettingen keeps a village feel. In such a dense setting, parking, scaffolding and rubble removal need forward planning. The local language is German, but your request can be written in English without difficulty. For any work on an old building or in the old town, check with your municipality beforehand. State the district or municipality, postcode and parking arrangements or access to the building's courtyard.
- In the old town, describe the width of the street and whether there is a lift.
- For a flat in a rental building, say whether the owner or the property management company has given their agreement.
- Mention whether there is space in the courtyard to store materials during the work.
Doors and windows in the canton of Basel-Stadt
For doors and windows in Basel-Stadt, identify each opening, its dimensions, frame material and present condition. Explain whether the aim is repair, replacement, reduced draughts, noise control or a change of access. Provide photographs and any known heritage or appearance requirements before a material or glazing specification is selected. Acoustic performance depends on the complete opening and installation, so describe the noise experienced and the change you want assessed. If shared façades or rented premises are affected, identify the person coordinating decisions and the approvals already obtained.
- In a rented home in Basel, inform the property management company before any window change, even for a single cracked pane.
- For an old solid-wood front door, first ask for an assessment of restoration before considering complete replacement.

Frequently asked questions
How should I choose new windows in Basel-Stadt?
Compare frame materials such as wood, plastic, aluminium or wood-aluminium, depending on appearance and maintenance. Look at the glazing, the thermal and acoustic performance and the security features. Ask the installer how the old frames will be removed and the new ones sealed.
Can new glazing be fitted while retaining the existing frame?
The frame's condition, dimensions and hardware determine whether this is practical. Explain the problem and provide photographs of the complete opening. Ask for an inspection of seals and surrounding construction; changing the glass alone will not address every source of draughts or moisture.
What should I compare in doors and windows quotes?
Compare frame and glass specifications, opening functions, removal and installation. Check sealing, internal and external making good, and work on blinds or shutters. Ensure performance claims relate to the specified assembly and ask what documentation and maintenance information will be provided.
How should I prepare for the doors and windows visit or work?
Photograph the opening inside and outside from safe positions. Note furniture, blinds and access restrictions that affect fitting. Agree final measurements and frame colour before manufacture, and discuss how rooms will be protected while the old openings are removed.
