Renovation work in Passy
Village houses, scattered hamlets and former workers’ housing across the commune: practical renovation, honest budgets, short travel.
Passy is a collection of places rather than a single centre — Chedde, the Plateau d’Assy, Marlioz, the hamlets along the slopes. The housing follows: former industrial housing, village houses, chalets and a few recent developments, with access that varies from one address to the next.
We take on the work that makes these houses last: roofs and gutters, windows and doors, bathrooms and heating, timber repairs and interior refurbishment. Because the commune is close to Sallanches, a site visit or a return for a forgotten detail costs half a day, not a week.
Hamlets, and the housing that came with the factories
Passy is a commune of places: Chedde, the Plateau d’Assy, Marlioz, and the hamlets strung along the slopes. Part of the housing was built for workers, in rows, with small plots and shared access — a building type that renovates well but tolerates no approximation on damp.
The other part is individual houses, often older, with a roof that has been maintained and a ground floor that has never been insulated. The work is unglamorous and useful: drainage, roof, windows, heating.
Roofs before everything
On these slopes, water is the main cause of damage, and the roof is where it enters. A repair is worth doing when the cause is treated at the same time: a failed flashing, a blocked gutter, a chimney that has lost its lead.
Replacing a covering without checking the frame is the other common mistake. It looks new for two winters, then the timber shows what was hidden.

Questions
Frequently asked — Passy
Do you go to the Plateau d’Assy?
Yes, and to Chedde, Marlioz and the hamlets along the commune. Access and parking are checked before the quote, because they change the time a job actually takes.
Can you repair an old roof rather than replace it?
When the structure is sound, yes: replacing broken tiles or slates, treating the frame, redoing flashings and gutters. A partial repair is only worth it if the cause of the problem — a failed flashing, a blocked gutter — is corrected at the same time.
Do you intervene on the Plateau d’Assy?
Yes, as in Chedde, Marlioz and the hamlets of the commune. Access and parking are checked before the quote, because they change the real duration of the site.
