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.

Roofing work in the canton of Vaud

In the canton of Vaud, roofing requests range from Lausanne apartment buildings run by a property management company to villas along La Côte. In Lausanne, the roofs and dormers of older buildings are often repaired while residents remain in place, which calls for a well-protected site. Around Nyon and Morges, many villas from past decades are undergoing complete renewal with insulation. In the Gros-de-Vaud and the Broye, farmhouses and sheds represent large surfaces. In the Vaud Alps, chalets must hold up under the snow. Before transforming a roof, talk to your Vaud municipality.

  • For an occupied building, ask for a plan to protect entrances and balconies while the old tiles are being removed.
  • In a villa on La Côte, use the renovation to check the loft insulation and the condition of the metal flashings.

Frequently asked questions

What should I check before a roof renovation in Vaud?

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.
