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 work in the canton of Solothurn
In the canton of Solothurn, roofs range from the Baroque buildings in the centre of Solothurn to the workers' houses of Olten and Grenchen. In the old town, tiled roofs and dormers are repaired in agreement with the property management companies, using tiles true to the original buildings. Districts of villas and rental buildings see many energy renovations, with loft insulation and new roof windows. In the Solothurn Jura, towards Balsthal, farmhouses and village houses face a harsher, windier climate. Whether you are planning a dormer, solar panels or a converted roof, your Solothurn municipality will tell you what to prepare.
- For an energy renovation, ask the roofer to coordinate the insulation work with the replacement of the underlay.
- In areas exposed to wind from the Jura, have the verges and ridges checked at least once a year.

Frequently asked questions
What should I check before a roof renovation in Solothurn?
Look for signs of wear such as broken tiles, moss, leaks or damp patches in the attic. Consider improving the roof insulation at the same time. Ask the roofer how the site will be secured and how the house will be protected from rain during the work.
How can roof condition be described without climbing onto it?
Use available roof documents and photographs taken from the ground or a safe interior position. Note visible broken tiles, moisture or recent storm damage. Ask the roofer to inspect the covering and underlying layers; do not walk on the roof to establish the scope yourself.
What should I compare in roofer quotes?
Compare covering, underlay, battens and roof details against the same area. Clarify access equipment, waste removal and temporary protection from weather. Identify roof windows, insulation and sheet metal work separately, and ask how adjoining trades and retained parts are coordinated.
How should I prepare for the roofer visit or work?
Provide attic access information and earlier roofing records. Explain occupied areas and external restrictions affecting equipment. Agree how the building will be protected during opening of the roof, keeping occupants away from unsafe water damage and leaving roof access to the work team.
