Your project in the canton of Vaud

The canton of Vaud stretches from the shores of Lake Geneva to the Vaud Alps. Lausanne, built on steep slopes, has many older rental buildings, condominium flats and streets where parking is difficult. On the Riviera, Vevey and Montreux combine Belle Époque buildings with villas overlooking the lake, while the slopes of Lavaux are covered in terraced vineyards. Nyon and Morges combine old towns and residential districts. Yverdon-les-Bains, at the end of Lake Neuchâtel, and Payerne, in the Broye, open onto more rural surroundings. In the Chablais and the Alps, around Aigle, chalets and mountain houses contend with snow. For a façade, windows or an extension, approval may be required, so check with your municipality. State the municipality and postcode, the type of property and access to the rooms or outdoor areas concerned.

  • In Lausanne, describe the slope of the street, the floor and parking options for a works vehicle.
  • For a winegrower's house in Lavaux, describe access via the vineyard paths and the space available.
  • For a chalet in the Vaud Alps, give the altitude and the period when the road is clear.

Small repairs in the canton of Vaud

In the canton of Vaud, small repairs vary between towns, vineyards and the Pre-Alps. In Lausanne, apartment buildings on the slopes generate many jobs when tenants change: holes to fill, handles, interior blinds, kitchen hinges. In Montreux and Vevey, old apartments with lake views have French windows and parquet that often need adjusting. Around Morges and Nyon, villas and village houses call for repairs to gates, fences or pergolas. In the Chablais, towards Aigle, winegrowers' houses have cellars and old doors to maintain. If a visible exterior element is involved, ask the municipality which procedures apply.

  • Before leaving a Lausanne home, have fixing holes filled and broken parts replaced to make the key handover easier.
  • In a winegrower's house in Lavaux or the Chablais, ask for the cellar door to be planed or adjusted, as it swells in the cool damp.

Frequently asked questions

How should I prepare for a handyman's visit in Vaud?

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.
