11th Month Warranty Inspection Service, Nairobi Kenya

ByBestcare Facilities Management Services

Most builders offer a one-year defects warranty, and once it expires, repair costs shift to the homeowner. An 11th Month Warranty Inspection catches issues while the builder is still obligated to fix them. Bestcare Facilities Management offers 11th Month Warranty Inspection services across Nairobi and Kenya, timed to make the most of your remaining warranty period before it closes for good.

What Is an 11th Month Warranty Inspection

This inspection is a full property assessment carried out shortly before a builder's warranty period ends. It's designed to identify defects that may not have been obvious at handover but have surfaced after a year of normal use and weather exposure.

Why an 11th Month Warranty Inspection Matters

Some defects, like settling cracks, minor leaks, or fixture failures, only appear after a property has been lived in for several months. Without this inspection, homeowners often miss the window to have these issues repaired at no cost, and end up paying for them out of pocket once the warranty period has quietly expired.

What This Inspection Covers

Structural and Settling Issues

Walls, floors, and ceilings are checked for cracks or movement that may have developed since handover.

Electrical and Plumbing Performance

Wiring, sockets, water lines, and drainage are tested to confirm they are still functioning as expected after a year of daily use.

Roofing and Waterproofing

Roofing and waterproofing are reassessed for leaks that may not have shown up until the rainy season tested them properly.

Fixtures and Finishes

Doors, windows, cabinetry, and finishes are checked for defects that have emerged through everyday wear and use.

Warranty Documentation Review

Existing warranty terms are reviewed to confirm which defects found are likely to qualify for builder-covered repair.

How the Process Works

  1. We schedule the inspection well ahead of your warranty deadline.
  2. Our inspectors document every defect with notes and photographs.
  3. Findings are cross-checked against your warranty coverage terms.
  4. A claim-ready report is compiled for submission to the builder.
  5. We advise on timelines to have repairs completed before expiry.

11th Month Warranty Inspection Cost Estimates

Property Type Estimated Cost (KES)
One-bedroom apartment 8,000 – 12,000
Two to three-bedroom apartment 12,000 – 18,000
Standalone bungalow 15,000 – 25,000

Pricing may vary depending on property size and condition.

Common Defects Found After One Year

A year of normal living reveals problems that simply weren't visible at handover. Settling cracks often appear in walls and ceilings as a new building's structure adjusts to full occupancy. Minor roof leaks show up once the property has been through a full rainy season. Door and window frames may swell, stick, or misalign as timber and fittings settle into place. Fixtures like taps, switches, and cabinet hardware often show early wear that qualifies for warranty repair if it's reported in time, rather than dismissed as ordinary use.

Who Should Book an 11th Month Warranty Inspection

Any homeowner whose builder warranty is approaching its end date should book this inspection, particularly buyers of homes less than a year old who haven't yet had a professional defects check done.
