Your project in the canton of Valais

Valais follows the Rhône valley from Brig to Lake Geneva, with side valleys climbing up to mountain resorts. The canton is bilingual: French-speaking Lower Valais, around Sion, Martigny and Monthey, and German-speaking Upper Valais, with Brig and Visp. On the hillsides, vineyards surround villages of stone houses and old wooden granaries. Crans-Montana and Zermatt are home to chalets, holiday flats and hotels; in Zermatt, where cars are not allowed, transporting materials requires special arrangements. At altitude, snow and sunshine influence building techniques and the working season. Wherever you live in Valais, you can write your request in English. For a chalet, a traditional mazot or an alteration in an old town, check with your municipality whether approval is needed. Give the municipality and postcode and, in a resort or at altitude, access periods and transport arrangements to the building.

  • For a chalet in a resort, note the altitude, the state of the road in winter and your availability for the work.
  • In Upper Valais, say whether you are happy to communicate in German.
  • For a village house among the vineyards, describe access via the lanes and the space for unloading materials.

Façade work in the canton of Valais

In Valais, façade specialists deal with sharp contrasts: heat and dryness on the Rhône plain, snow and frost in the resorts. In Martigny, apartment blocks and detached houses on the plain lend themselves well to external insulation, which also protects against summer heat. In Crans-Montana, chalets and holiday apartment buildings, often clad in timber and stone, endure intense sunlight that greys cladding and cracks renders. In the villages, old stone and timber houses require traditional materials, and you should check with the municipality what is permitted before altering a façade. High-altitude work is concentrated in the fine season.

  • For a resort chalet, ask for untreated larch cladding that develops an even patina rather than a finish that flakes.
  • On the Rhône plain, avoid applying render in intense heat: the early morning hours are better for the mortar to set.

Frequently asked questions

How is a facade renovation organised in Valais?

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.
