Our Masonry Services and Brick Laying Offerings
Bestcare Handyman offers a range of masonry services and brick laying solutions tailored to Nairobi’s construction needs. Below, we describe each service in detail.
Brick and Block Wall Construction
We construct sturdy walls using red clay bricks, concrete blocks, or interlocking blocks for boundary walls, partitions, and building exteriors. Our masons ensure precise alignment and strong mortar bonding, delivering walls that withstand environmental stress and enhance security.
Foundation and Slab Laying
Our foundation and slab laying service provides a solid base for buildings, using reinforced concrete and proper curing techniques. We excavate, level, and lay foundations for homes, extensions, or commercial structures, ensuring stability and compliance with structural standards.
Stone Masonry and Cladding
For decorative and durable finishes, we offer stone masonry and cladding using natural stones like granite or machine-cut stones. This service is ideal for feature walls, fireplaces, or building facades, adding elegance and resilience to properties.
Plastering and Rendering
We provide plastering and rendering to smooth and protect masonry surfaces. Using cement-based or gypsum plaster, we create even, weather-resistant finishes for interior and exterior walls, improving aesthetics and durability.
Masonry Repairs and Restoration
Our repair service fixes cracks, water damage, or weathered masonry, restoring structural integrity. We also rehabilitate old brickwork, replacing damaged bricks and re-pointing mortar joints to extend the lifespan of walls and structures.
