Is our block's parking worth relaying or rebuilding?

Depends where it was built. The Garden City area developments were paved properly and usually just need settled bays lifted and relaid. The older Mirema and Zimmerman blocks frequently have a base too thin for the traffic, and relaying alone will not hold.

Plumber in Kasarani, Nairobi

Q: Why does the delivery side of Thika Road matter?

Because crossing it means a specific interchange and, at peak, a substantial delay. A tipper dispatched to the wrong side loses most of a morning, and on a phased job that pushes the whole week. We confirm the approach before booking materials.

We cover Kasarani including Mirema, Zimmerman, Garden City, Kahawa West, TRM area, Thome, Roysambu border. Off Thika Road and Kamiti Road. Deliveries come via the service lane; crossing the highway adds significant time.

What is different about plumbing in Kasarani

Kasarani deliveries run via the Thika Road service lane, so a tipper booked for the wrong side of the highway loses most of a morning.
Mirema and Zimmerman blocks have shared parking that must stay usable, so forecourts are paved in phased sections.
Garden City area developments were paved to a better standard, so work there is usually relaying settled bays rather than rebuilding the base.

Paving in Kasarani

Kasarani divides into two paving jobs: newer developments built to a decent standard, and older blocks where the base was never adequate.

Which side of the highway

Deliveries run via the Thika Road service lane, and crossing the carriageway means a specific interchange and real delay at peak.

A tipper dispatched to the wrong side loses most of a morning, which on a phased job pushes the whole week. We confirm the approach before booking anything.

Relay or rebuild

The Garden City area developments were paved to a reasonable specification, and settled bays there genuinely just need lifting and relaying.

The older Mirema and Zimmerman blocks are different: the sub-base was thin for the traffic, and relaying the same blocks onto the same base returns you to the same problem. We open a trial hole and tell you which situation you have rather than quoting the cheaper option by default.

Phasing

Shared parking has to stay usable, so forecourts are done in sections. It lengthens the programme and it is the only arrangement that works in an occupied block.

What we are usually called out for in Kasarani

Cabro paving Cabro laid on an engineered base with edge restraint, the two things that decide whether it lasts. Repairs and relaying Lifting, correcting the base and relaying, usually with the blocks you already have. Kerbs and edging Haunched kerbs and edging, the restraint without which paving spreads regardless of block quality. Drainage and falls Falls, channels and outfalls designed before laying, because paving concentrates water it did not create.
