Nairobi’s two rainy seasons, March to May and October to December, expose weak roofs, balconies, bathrooms and basements. Good waterproofing stops leaks, damp and mould before they damage plaster and structure. Below are four providers with their services, contacts and locations.

Bestcare publishes a price guide on its site, putting leak detection and minor roof repairs at roughly KES 3,500–8,000 per location. Treat this as a starting point, since larger roofs and full coating systems cost more.

Before hiring any contractor, request a site inspection, a written quote and a warranty. Cheap quotes that skip surface preparation are the most common cause of repeat leaks.
