Tell us what needs doing
A photograph and two lines is genuinely enough to start. For a roof, a picture of the ceiling stain and one of the roofline from the ground usually tells us more than a paragraph will. We will come back with what is likely wrong and roughly what it involves before anyone visits.
Please do not climb onto the roof to take the photograph. A picture from the garden is fine, and a roof that is already leaking is not a safe place to be standing.
Useful things to include
- Which part of Nairobi the property is in, and whether it is a house or a flat
- For a roof: mabati, tile or flat, and roughly how old
- Whether it is leaking now, or leaked last season and stopped
- Whether anything stands on the roof, such as a tank or a solar heater
- For joinery: the room, the rough dimensions, and what is there now
- If it is a managed building or a gated estate, any access or works-hours rules
What happens next
We read the enquiry, tell you what we think the problem is, and say whether it needs an inspection before a price can honestly be given. For most roof leaks it does, because a leak can be one perished washer or forty metres of failed ridge and nothing in a photograph separates the two. There is no charge for a written quotation.
Where we work
Across Nairobi, with 12 areas set out in detail on this site, from Karen and Runda to Westlands, Kilimani and the Kiambu Road corridor. If the property is outside those, say where it is and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right people for it.
