Services

For most standard residential projects in Mombasa, a complete roof replacement takes between 2 to 5 days.

However, the exact timeline depends on the size of your structure, the roofing material chosen (such as coastal-grade prepainted iron sheets or clay tiles), and the weather. Because heavy coastal downpours can disrupt work, we closely monitor local weather patterns and strategically open and seal sections of your roof to ensure your building interior remains completely dry throughout the process.

Roofing costs vary significantly based on project scope, but we price our services transparently across three main areas:

·         Material Selection: Premium, corrosion-resistant materials (essential for Mombasa’s salty air) have different price points than standard options.

·         Roof Size and Complexity: The total square footage and structural design (e.g., pitch, valleys, and ridges).

·         Service Type: Whether you need a minor structural repair, waterproofing, or a full strip-and-replace.

 Get a Free Estimate: We provide detailed, obligation-free site assessments across Mombasa and Kwale County to give you an exact bill of quantities (BQ) for your project.

Mombasa’s intense monsoon winds and driving rains can take a toll. Look out for these key indicators of storm damage:

• Visible Lifting: Roofing sheets or ridge caps that have loosened or lifted due to strong winds.

• Water Stains: New damp patches on your ceilings or along internal walls immediately after a heavy downpour.

• Structural Sagging: Visible dipping along the roofline, which often points to waterlogged, weakened timber trusses underneath.

• Excessive Rust: Accelerated corrosion triggered by stagnant rainwater pooling in damaged sections near the ocean air.

While regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your roof, a full replacement is usually necessary if you notice:

• Widespread Corrosion: Extensive rust eating through your iron sheets, a common issue in humid coastal environments.

• Persistent Leaks: If you are fixing leaks every rainy season and water keeps finding new ways in, the underlying structure or material has failed.

• Aging Infrastructure: The roofing material has surpassed its natural lifespan and can no longer withstand local weather conditions.

• Compromised Timber: Severe rot or termite damage in the supporting timber framework that makes the roof unsafe.

Yes, absolutely. In fact, we highly recommend it for properties along the Kenyan coast.

The combination of intense heat, high humidity, and salt spray accelerates wear and tear. Our scheduled maintenance plans typically include biannual inspections (ideally right before the long and short rainy seasons). We clear debris from gutters, check flashing seals, tighten loose fixings, and treat early signs of corrosion to help you avoid costly emergency repairs later on.
