Your project in the canton of Ticino
For a project in Ticino, specify the municipality, postcode, present use of the property and the changes you want to make. If materials must be carried along a footpath or through steps, give the distance, clear widths and available delivery point. For an apartment, describe access through the building and who coordinates shared areas. For a conversion or exterior work, provide existing plans and any planning or heritage restrictions already known. Photographs should show the actual walls, roof and access. State your preferred language for the exchange with the selected contractor.
- For a rustico in a valley, say whether it can be reached by car or only by footpath.
- For a lakeside second home, say who can let tradespeople in while you are away.
- Say whether you are happy to communicate in Italian, as this makes contact with local firms easier.
Roofing work in the canton of Ticino
In Ticino, roofs reflect the contrast between lakeside towns and mountain villages. In Lugano and Locarno, rental buildings and condominiums often have flat roofs or low-pitched tiled roofs, maintained under the supervision of a property management company. In the valleys, stone houses and rustici carry very heavy granite slab roofs, which require a robust structure and specialist skills. Violent late-summer storms bring large quantities of water in a short time. Many second homes also stand empty for part of the year. Any alteration should be prepared with your Ticino municipality.
- For a rustico with granite slabs, have the roof structure checked before any repair, as the weight of the covering is considerable.
- If your house stands empty for part of the year, arrange a gutter check after major storms.

Frequently asked questions
What should I check before a roof renovation in Ticino?
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.
