Your project in the canton of Geneva
For a project in Geneva, give the municipality and postcode, the rooms or building elements involved and the outcome you want. Describe the actual access: floor, lift, vehicle approach, parking and space for deliveries. Say whether the home or business premises will remain in use during the work. In a rented property or condominium, identify which areas are private and which are shared, and who coordinates decisions about them. If the project changes the exterior or concerns a protected building, check the applicable requirements with the competent authority before starting. Photos, existing plans and any approval documents already available help define the work without assumptions about a neighbourhood’s buildings.
- In a rental building or condominium, say whether the property management company or the co-owners have already given their agreement.
- For a flat in town, give the floor, whether there is a lift and what parking is available.
- For a villa in the Geneva countryside, describe access to the garden if machinery needs to get in.
Roofing and sheet metal work in the canton of Geneva
In the canton of Geneva, the older apartment buildings of the historic districts often have mansard roofs covered with slate or zinc, with dormers and built-in gutters that require precise expertise. Many of these buildings are condominiums or run by a property management company, which plans the roofing work and coordinates access. In Cologny, villas near the lake are exposed to the bise, which can lift poorly fixed tiles and verge flashings. The flat roofs of more recent complexes require monitoring of waterproofing and drainage. Scaffolding placed on the street is prepared by checking with the municipality.
- After an episode of strong bise, have the verges and ridges inspected, as displaced elements are hard to see from the street.
- In a condominium, attach the photos and roof plan provided by the property management company to your request to make the professional's visit easier.

Frequently asked questions
What information helps assess a roof leak in Geneva?
Describe where water is visible indoors, when it appears and any recent storm damage or repairs. Safe photographs and earlier roof documents help explain the situation. Keep people away from dangerous wet areas and do not climb onto the roof or touch wet electrical equipment.
How can I describe a roof leak without inspecting the roof myself?
Record where and when moisture appears indoors and take photographs only from safe positions. A visible interior stain may be away from the entry point. Mention recent storms or previous repairs; the contractor needs to inspect roof details to establish the cause.
What should I compare in roof repair and sheet metal work quotes?
Compare work on the roof covering with work on gutters, flashings and other metal joints. Ask how access, temporary protection and disposal are handled. A targeted leak repair and broader roof renewal need separate descriptions and a clear account of the areas included.
How should I prepare for the roof repair and sheet metal work visit or work?
Keep occupants away from unsafe wet areas, especially near electrical equipment. Provide access information for the attic and surrounding property without opening damaged roof elements. Gather earlier roofing documents and agree any shared-building access with the caretaker or manager.
