Your project in the canton of Solothurn
The canton of Solothurn extends along the foot of the Jura and the Aare. The town of Solothurn, with its churches and Baroque houses, has an old town where getting around by vehicle is difficult. Olten, a railway hub, and Grenchen, shaped by watchmaking, have rental blocks and districts of family homes. Zuchwil and Biberist form a more residential suburban area, while Balsthal opens onto the Thal valley and its farms. In the north, Dornach lies within Basel's orbit. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can still be written in English. In the old town or for a change to a façade, it is essential to check with your municipality. Give the municipality, postcode and delivery access restrictions, especially if the building is in an old town.
- In Solothurn's old town, say whether access is via a pedestrian street or a courtyard.
- For a family home in Grenchen or Olten, give the year of construction and any work already carried out.
- For a farmhouse in the Thal, describe access to the building and the parts to be renovated.
Roofing and sheet metal work in the canton of Solothurn
In the canton of Solothurn, the baroque old town of Solothurn has tiled roofs with many dormers and copper or zinc sheet metal work that must be carefully maintained. In Olten, apartment buildings and former industrial buildings with large roofs require regular monitoring of drainage and waterproofing. On the heights of the Solothurn Jura, exposed farms and houses face more snow, frost and wind, which puts strain on chimney junctions and verges. A roof renovation can also include better insulation. For visible work near the cathedral, contact the municipality first.
- For an apartment building, plan gutter maintenance before winter with the property management company to prevent overflowing onto balconies.
- On the heights, have the flashings around chimneys checked, as frost and wind open paths for water there.

Frequently asked questions
What information helps assess a roof leak in Solothurn?
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.
