Your project in the canton of Neuchâtel
The canton of Neuchâtel rises in tiers from the lake to the high plateaus of the Jura. On the lakeshore, the city of Neuchâtel is marked by the yellow stone of its old buildings and its sloping streets, while Boudry and Cortaillod are surrounded by vineyards and residential districts. In the mountains, La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle, watchmaking towns laid out on a grid plan, are lined with large old apartment buildings at an altitude where winter is long. The Val-de-Travers, around Fleurier, and the Val-de-Ruz offer a more rural setting of farmhouses and village houses. Building conditions vary greatly between lakeside and heights. For a façade in an old town or an extension, check with your municipality whether approval is needed. State the municipality, postcode and site access, especially if outdoor work is planned during winter.
- For an old building in La Chaux-de-Fonds or Le Locle, give the floor and describe access via the stairwell.
- On the lakeshore, for a house on a slope, describe the steps or paths leading to the entrance.
- In the mountains, plan outdoor work outside the snow season and say so in your request.
Gates, fences and railings in the canton of Neuchâtel
Neuchâtel combines a mild lakeside climate with a much harsher one in the mountains. On the lakeshore, around Cortaillod, terraced villas overlook the lake and vineyards: retaining walls, garden steps and terraces call for discreet railings that resist humidity. In the Mountains, La Chaux-de-Fonds has rows of watchmaking buildings with continuous balconies and period metal railings that are often worth restoring; the municipality will guide you on protected buildings. In the Val-de-Travers, farmhouses and village houses need fences and gates able to cope with a long, harsh winter, with snow that lies on the ground for a long time.
- In a watchmaking building in La Chaux-de-Fonds, ask for a survey of the continuous balconies so that all the railings can be restored in the same style.
- For a terraced plot above the vineyards, fit a railing at every change of level, however modest.

Frequently asked questions
What should I specify for a made-to-measure gate in Neuchâtel?
Give the width of the opening, the slope of the ground and whether you want a swing or sliding gate. Specify the material, the style and whether you want motorisation or an intercom. Photos of the entrance help the company plan the installation.
What affects the choice between a sliding and a swing gate?
Available side space, ground slope and vehicle access affect how a gate can move. Provide photographs and approximate dimensions of the entrance. Ask the installer to assess foundations, clearances and controls before agreeing a layout, particularly where the gate opens near a shared route.
What should I compare in made-to-measure gates, fences and railings quotes?
Compare structure, finish, foundations and fitting, with motorisation and access controls separately specified. For railings, clarify the support and intended protective function. Ask how the completed installation is checked and which work on paving or adjoining surfaces is included.
How should I prepare for the made-to-measure gates, fences and railings visit or work?
Prepare a sketch of the entrance or edge to protect and mark known boundaries. Explain delivery and vehicle-access constraints. Keep access codes private, and agree permissions for shared property and any required specialist assessment before fabrication or site alterations proceed.
