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.
Joinery work in the canton of Basel-Stadt
In Basel-Stadt, people mostly live in older apartment buildings run by property management companies or shared between co-owners. Joiners restore panelled flat entrance doors, tall narrow windows, parquet floors and stairwell woodwork. On both sides of the Rhine, old houses hide heavily worn timber staircases whose treads are replaced one by one. In Riehen, mansions and villas surrounded by gardens call for bespoke bookcases, fine kitchens and the renovation of conservatories or shutters. With parking scarce in the city, delivery of the pieces must be organised in advance. In a protected district, ask your municipality.
- In an older Basel building, the property management company must approve the replacement of a flat entrance door in writing, as its appearance is usually uniform from floor to floor.
- For a mansion in Riehen, have the wooden shutters overhauled at the same time as the windows to keep a consistent whole.

Frequently asked questions
What should I tell the joiner about my door project in Basel-Stadt?
Specify where the door will go, whether it is interior or exterior, and the dimensions of the opening. Describe the wood species, finish, hardware and any requirements for sound or thermal insulation. Photos of the existing frame help the joiner assess whether it can be reused.
Can existing timber fittings be repaired instead of replaced?
Photographs of the whole item and damaged sections help distinguish surface wear from loose joints or deeper damage. Explain how it is used and whether it still moves correctly. The joiner can assess repair options and compatibility with the existing timber and hardware.
What should I compare in joiner quotes?
Compare the timber or board specification, hardware, finish and fitting work. State whether the existing item is removed and whether surrounding decoration is included. For repairs, ask which components are retained and how the new finish will meet the old surface.
How should I prepare for the joiner visit or work?
Clear access for measuring and describe stairs, lifts and narrow passages used for delivery. Keep samples or photographs of the finish you want. Approve dimensions, door movement and hardware before workshop production, especially where furniture fits between existing walls.
