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.
Parquet flooring work in the canton of Basel-Stadt
In Basel-Stadt, a large share of homes are in old buildings in Gundeldingen, St. Johann or Kleinbasel, where an oak or pitch pine parquet waiting to be restored is often discovered under carpet or lino. Old floors sometimes creak, and the parquet fitter can screw down or reglue the boards before sanding. In rented flats, the property management company generally sets the expected finish at the move-out inspection. In Riehen, villas and grand residences tend to receive high-end new floors, in chevron or wide planks. Before touching the floor of a listed building in the centre, check with the municipality.
- Under an old carpet, have the floor inspected, as a salvageable original parquet often avoids the need for a new one.
- To silence a creaking floor, ask for the boards to be fixed before sanding, not afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
How can I describe my existing wood floor in Basel-Stadt?
Give the room areas and any known board specification, such as solid or engineered wood, along with the current coating and previous treatments. Photograph worn areas and transitions from a safe position. Ask the fitter to identify the floor and the permitted treatment before choosing sanding or a new finish.
Can worn parquet be restored without replacing it?
The remaining wear layer, board condition and previous treatment determine which repairs or sanding are possible. Send photographs and any known flooring specification. A site inspection can distinguish surface wear from damage requiring local board replacement or work on the underlying base.
What should I compare in parquet and floor coverings quotes?
Compare board repairs, sanding, finishing and skirting work against the same area. For new parquet, check timber grade, laying method and any acoustic layer. Ask for product-care instructions and conditions for using the rooms after the specified treatment.
How should I prepare for the parquet and floor coverings visit or work?
Plan where furniture will go while the room is clear and identify heavy fitted items that cannot move. Keep records of earlier oils or coatings if available. Agree transitions, thresholds and protection of adjoining rooms before restoration or laying starts.
