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.
Small repairs in the canton of Basel-Stadt
In Basel-Stadt, the housing stock is dense, old and mostly rented. In buildings in Grossbasel or Kleinbasel, small repairs often concern creaking parquet, front doors to adjust, double casement windows whose bolts stick, or damaged mouldings. Shared cellars and lofts also bring requests for shelving, storage partitions or compartment locks. In Riehen, villas and semi-detached houses with gardens generate more outdoor work, such as fences, gates or garden sheds. In a building run by a property management company, check who is responsible for the repair before calling in a craftsman.
- In a rented home in Basel, inform the property management company before having a craftsman work on a front door or window.
- For old parquet that creaks, ask for discreet fixing from below or between the boards rather than replacement.

Frequently asked questions
How should I prepare for a handyman's visit in Basel-Stadt?
List all the small jobs you want done so they can be handled in a single visit. Have any parts or items to install ready, such as shelves, curtain rails or light fittings. Clear the work areas and tell the handyman about any access restrictions.
Which small jobs should be separated from a handyman request?
Describe every task, including the surface or item involved. Work on electrical installations, gas equipment, load-bearing parts or other specialised systems may need a different trade. Ask the provider to confirm the accepted scope rather than assuming one visit can cover every repair.
What should I compare in handyman and small repairs quotes?
Compare the complete task list, materials, fixings and disposal. Specify whether you supply parts or need them sourced. Ask how unsuitable surfaces or missing components discovered during the visit will be handled, and agree approval before additional work is undertaken.
How should I prepare for the handyman and small repairs visit or work?
Make the work areas accessible and keep the listed parts available. Photograph the relevant wall, door or item without removing covers from installations. Mention drilling restrictions, hidden services or fragile finishes so the method and required specialist input can be assessed.
