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.
Façade work in the canton of Basel-Stadt
In Basel, the red sandstone façades visible on the town hall and many old houses weather and crumble over time: restoring them requires specific expertise. In streets lined with nineteenth-century townhouses, façade specialists mainly deal with decorative renders, cornices and window surrounds. The density of the urban fabric complicates installing scaffolding on the pavement; for the use of the public road, as for any change of appearance, check with your municipality. In Riehen, villas surrounded by gardens lend themselves more readily to external insulation. In apartment blocks run by a property management company, façade work is generally planned for the whole building.
- For a red sandstone façade, ask for a mineral repair mortar of the same colour rather than a cement render that would stand out.
- In a narrow street, ask the specialist how pedestrians and access to shops will be protected during the work.

Frequently asked questions
How is a facade renovation organised in Basel-Stadt?
The company first assesses the condition of the facade and identifies cracks, moisture or damaged render. Scaffolding is then erected, the surfaces are cleaned and repaired, and the new finish is applied. Ask how windows, plants and access to the building will be protected during the work.
Should a facade crack simply be covered with new render?
Describe the crack pattern, age and any observed changes, with photographs from safe ground positions. The cause may need assessment before a finish is renewed. Ask how damaged areas and moisture will be investigated and which repairs are included in the proposed facade treatment.
What should I compare in facade contractor quotes?
Compare cleaning, repairs, render or coating and work at windows or junctions. Check scaffolding, protection and disposal as well as the finish specification. Where insulation is proposed, make sure it is separately described rather than assuming every facade renewal includes it.
How should I prepare for the facade contractor visit or work?
Identify access routes, balconies, planted areas and fixtures requiring protection. Gather information about earlier facade work. Agree arrangements with neighbours or the building manager where scaffolding affects shared areas, and keep windows or vents accessible as specified by the work plan.
