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.
Small repairs in the canton of Valais
In Valais, sunshine and temperature swings leave their mark on buildings. In Sion and Martigny, tenants and apartment owners call on a handyman to adjust doors, change handles, redo bathroom seals or fix shelves. In Crans-Montana and Zermatt, many chalets and second homes need attention between seasons: locks, larch balconies, shutters and blinds. In the villages, old mazots and stone houses call for careful work on wooden doors and staircases. In Monthey and Brig, family homes add needs for assembly work and outdoor maintenance, from garden gates to terrace railings. The dry climate also causes wooden elements to shrink and loosen.
- For a Valais chalet let during the season, schedule small repairs in spring or autumn, between periods of occupancy.
- Have south-facing larch balconies checked, as their screws and boards warp under the intense sunshine.

Frequently asked questions
How should I prepare for a handyman's visit in Valais?
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.
