Your project in the canton of St. Gallen

The canton of St. Gallen almost entirely surrounds the two Appenzells and stretches from Lake Constance to Lake Zurich. The city of St. Gallen is known for its old town with oriel-windowed houses and for many buildings from its textile era. Rapperswil and Jona, on the shore of Lake Zurich, combine a historic centre with newer residential districts. Wil and Gossau are busy regional centres, while in the Rhine Valley, Altstätten and Buchs lie close to the Austrian border. The Toggenburg, around Wattwil, is a hilly landscape of farms and timber chalets. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. For an old house in a town centre, ask your municipality whether the planned work requires approval. Give the municipality and postcode and describe building access, whether the project is in town, by the lake or in the Toggenburg.

  • For an oriel-windowed house in St. Gallen's old town, attach photos of the façade and windows.
  • In the Toggenburg, say whether the house is isolated and how it can be reached in winter.
  • On the shores of Lake Zurich or Lake Constance, describe access to the plot and the space available for materials.

Small repairs in the canton of St. Gallen

The canton of St. Gallen is large and varied, between the embroidery city, the shores of Lake Constance and the valleys of the Toggenburg. In St. Gallen, old buildings with decorated oriels and old-town apartments require adjustments to doors, windows and parquet. In Rapperswil-Jona, recent apartments and villas with lake views bring requests for assembly, fixing and terrace maintenance. In the Rhine Valley, around Altstätten or Buchs, family homes need small jobs on gates, fences and sheds. In the Toggenburg, towards Wattwil, farmhouses and timber houses call for careful light joinery.

  • In an old building in St. Gallen, state the floor and access so the craftsman can bring in tools without difficulty.
  • For a timber house in the Toggenburg, have shutters and window frames checked after the autumn rains.

Frequently asked questions

How should I prepare for a handyman's visit in St. Gallen?

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.
