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.
Parquet flooring work in the canton of Vaud
In the canton of Vaud, older flats in Lausanne, below the station or towards the Cité, often have oak herringbone parquet that property management companies have sanded and lacquered between leases. On the Riviera, in Vevey and Montreux, grand houses and flats with views over Lake Geneva receive new floors in oak or wide light planks. In the Vaud Alps, around Aigle and the resorts, chalets are fitted with solid spruce or larch floors. Further north, renovated farms around Payerne or Yverdon-les-Bains offer large areas to cover. In a condominium, take care over sound insulation, and a protected building also warrants a question to the municipality.
- For a herringbone floor in Lausanne, ask for the joints to be filled with sanding dust for an even result.
- In a chalet in the Vaud Alps, prefer oiled mountain timber, which is easy to refresh after winter.

Frequently asked questions
How can I describe my existing wood floor in Vaud?
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.
