Kenya’s long and short rainy seasons bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and — in some highland areas — hail storms that can cause significant damage to buildings across Nairobi and the wider country. Lifted roof sheets, broken ridge capping, damaged gutters, collapsed boundary walls, fallen trees on structures, shattered windows, and flooded rooms are among the most common storm damage scenarios that property owners face every rainy season. The challenge with storm damage is twofold — addressing it safely and preventing further damage from ongoing rain while permanent repairs are being planned and executed.
Professional storm damage repair begins with a rapid response to make the building watertight and structurally safe, followed by a thorough damage assessment, and finally the systematic execution of permanent repair works. The ability to mobilise quickly, work safely at height, and coordinate multiple trades — roofing, carpentry, masonry, plumbing, and glazing — under a single managed service makes an experienced storm damage contractor invaluable in the chaotic aftermath of a storm event.
Types of Storm Damage Repair Services
Emergency Temporary Weatherproofing applies tarpaulins, polyethylene sheeting, and temporary battening to damaged roof areas immediately after a storm, preventing further water ingress into the building while permanent repairs are assessed and scheduled.
Roof Repair and Replacement addresses storm-damaged roof sheets, tiles, ridge capping, fascia boards, soffit boards, and roof structural timbers, from localised section repairs to full roof replacement where damage is extensive.
Guttering and Drainage Repair restores storm-damaged and displaced gutters, downpipes, and rainwater drainage systems that are critical for directing water away from the building after heavy rainfall.
Facade and Wall Repair addresses storm damage to external walls — rendering and plasterwork, boundary walls, retaining walls, cladding systems, and glazed facades damaged by wind-borne debris.
Window and Door Replacement replaces storm-damaged window panes, window frames, and door assemblies, with temporary boarding provided immediately following breakage to secure the building.
Tree and Debris Removal safely removes storm-fallen trees, branches, and debris from buildings and grounds using chainsaws, rigging, and lifting equipment.
