Grab bars provide essential support in bathrooms and other high-risk areas, preventing slips and falls that affect thousands of Kenyans annually. In urban hubs like Nairobi, where multi-story apartments and aging populations are common, these fixtures have become a must-have for safety. Bestcare Facilities Management leads in delivering reliable grab bar installation services across Nairobi and Kenya, combining expert craftsmanship with local knowledge. Our teams handle everything from site assessments to final installations, tailored to residential homes, hospitals, hotels, and offices.
Demand for grab bar services surges in areas like Westlands, Parklands, and Karen, where elderly residents and families prioritize accessibility. According to Kenya’s National Council for Persons with Disabilities, falls account for over 40% of home injuries among seniors. Installing grab bars reduces this risk by up to 70%, offering firm handholds near toilets, showers, and bathtubs. Bestcare’s service stands out by using corrosion-resistant materials suited to Kenya’s humid climate, ensuring longevity without rust or weakening.
Why Choose Professional Grab Bar Installation?
Homeowners often attempt DIY installations, but this risks structural damage or insecure fittings. Our certified technicians evaluate wall types—whether concrete, plaster, or tiled—and select anchors that hold up to 250kg. We adhere to ISO 9001 standards and local regulations from the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), guaranteeing installations pass safety inspections.
In public facilities, compliance is non-negotiable. Hotels in Nairobi’s CBD and hospitals in Mombasa install grab bars to meet the Persons with Disabilities Act 2003, avoiding fines up to KSh 500,000. Bestcare provides bulk installations with minimal disruption, using dust-free tools and protective sheeting. For private clients, we offer aesthetic options like brushed nickel finishes that blend with modern Kenyan interiors.
Types of Grab Bars and Custom Solutions
Grab bars come in various designs to fit diverse needs. Wall-mounted straight bars suit standard toilet areas, while angled or L-shaped models support transfers from wheelchairs. Folding grab bars save space in compact Nairobi apartments, flipping up when not in use. Suction-cup versions offer temporary fixes for renters, though we recommend permanent fixtures for safety.
Bestcare customizes based on user profiles:
-
Elderly care: Offset bars near bathtubs for seated stability.
-
Hospitality: ADA-compliant 42-inch vertical bars in showers.
-
Commercial: Heavy-duty 1.5-inch diameter bars for high-traffic restrooms.
We also integrate smart features, like glow-in-the-dark strips for nighttime visibility, ideal for Kenya’s frequent power outages.
The Installation Process Step-by-Step
Our process ensures efficiency and precision.
-
Free Consultation: Schedule a site visit via call or WhatsApp. Technicians measure spaces and assess load-bearing walls.
-
Design Selection: Choose from our catalog or custom specs, with 3D mockups for visualization.
-
Material Sourcing: High-grade stainless steel (grade 304) or reinforced plastic, sourced from KEBS-approved suppliers.
-
Installation Day: Drill pilot holes, secure with toggle bolts or chemical anchors, and silicone-seal for waterproofing. Takes 1-4 hours per bar.
-
Testing and Handover: Load-test to 150% capacity, provide usage guide, and issue warranty certificate.
Post-installation, we offer maintenance checks every six months to tighten fittings amid Kenya’s seismic activity.

Benefits Beyond Safety
Grab bars enhance property value in Kenya’s booming real estate market. Apartments with accessibility features fetch 15-20% higher rents in areas like Kilimani. They promote independence, reducing caregiver burden and hospital visits—vital as Kenya’s over-65 population grows 5% yearly per KNBS data.
Bestcare integrates installations with other services like bathroom remodeling or ramp fitting, creating seamless accessibility upgrades. Clients in Westlands report zero falls post-installation, praising our responsive teams.
