A full-service offering built around Nairobi's real needs
Forgebswift's core service catalogue covers the tasks that Nairobi residents and small business owners deal with repeatedly: maintenance, installations, inspections, and light project work. We operate across most of the city's major zones — CBD, Westlands, Kilimani, Kasarani, Embakasi, and Langata — and can coordinate access to suppliers in Industrial Area when specialist materials are needed. Every service engagement begins with a site assessment or a detailed phone consult so we understand what you actually need before we touch anything. We carry the tools, source the materials, and complete the work to a documented standard.
Core services we deliver
Each entry is a defined service with a quoted price — not an open-ended engagement.
Maintenance & repairs
General maintenance tasks for residential and commercial premises: plumbing checks, electrical faults, door and window repairs, and minor structural fixes. We assess, quote, and complete — often on the same day for standard jobs.
Installations
Supply and installation of fittings, fixtures, and equipment. We source materials from vetted Nairobi suppliers, confirm compatibility before purchase, and install to manufacturer specification. A test and sign-off check closes every installation job.
Inspections & reports
Pre-tenancy, pre-purchase, and annual condition inspections for Nairobi properties. We deliver a written report with photographic evidence within 48 hours of the site visit — a document you can use with a landlord, agent, or insurer.
Project coordination
For tasks that span multiple trades or visits, we act as the single point of contact: scheduling sub-contractors, tracking materials, and keeping you updated at each stage. Priced per milestone, not per hour — so costs stay predictable.
Recurring contracts
Monthly or quarterly service plans for landlords, SMEs, and property managers who need consistent upkeep without re-quoting each time. A dedicated contact person handles your account throughout the contract period.
“Forgebswift handled a pre-purchase inspection on a Kilimani apartment I was considering. The written report they delivered 36 hours later flagged two issues the agent had not mentioned. That report saved me a serious amount of money on the negotiation.”
— Stella Wanjiru, Kilimani
What we do not cover — and why that matters
Forgebswift focuses on the services described above. We do not undertake large structural construction, full electrical rewiring of buildings, or specialised HVAC installation — those require licensed contractors with different certifications. If your project falls outside our scope, we will tell you plainly rather than overpromise and underdeliver. In some cases we can refer you to vetted specialists in the Nairobi market who we have worked alongside over the years. Honest scoping at the start is the single biggest factor in a job going well.
