Seal Every Junction: Roof Flashing Installation by Bestcare
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney, a skylight, a parapet, or any other protrusion, there is a junction that must be sealed to prevent water entry. Flashings are the specialist waterproofing elements that perform this sealing role — and they are critical to the waterproof performance of the entire roof system. Bestcare Facilities Management provides expert roof flashing installation services in Nairobi, Kiambu, and throughout Kenya, ensuring every roof junction is sealed correctly and durably.
Roof flashing installation is one of the most technically demanding aspects of roofing work. Incorrect flashing geometry, wrong material selection, or poor fixing technique can all lead to early failure and persistent leaking. Bestcare’s technicians are specifically trained in flashing installation and bring the right tools and materials to every project.
Flashing Types Bestcare Installs
Step Flashings — Installed at the junction between a roof slope and a vertical wall, typically in lead or aluminium.
Apron Flashings — Installed across the lower edge of a chimney or vertical projection where it meets the roof slope.
Valley Flashings — Metal liners installed in roof valleys to channel water collected from two converging slopes.
Parapet Flashings — Capping flashings installed on top of parapet walls and at the roof-to-parapet junction.
