Will a mixer fit through my estate gate?

Check the height, not the width. The decorative arches on the newer Kiambu Road schemes are the commonest thing that stops us, and a loaded mixer is tall. Measure the clear height under the arch and send it with your enquiry. It takes a minute and it prevents a truck arriving that physically cannot enter.

The estate roads are not finished yet. Can you still deliver?

In dry conditions usually, on unbound murram with care. After sustained rain, generally not with a full load, because a loaded mixer will rut an unbound road badly and may bed down in it. On phased developments the practical answer is a fixed discharge point on made ground with a pump from there, set up once and used for every phase.

Plumber in Kiambu Road, Nairobi

We cover Kiambu Road including Ridgeways, Thindigua, Edenville, Membley, Runda Mhasibu, Fourways Junction, Riverside Kiambu. The Kiambu Road corridor from Muthaiga North to Kiambu town. New gated schemes with estate roads often built after the houses.

What is different about plumbing in Kiambu Road

The gated schemes along Kiambu Road were built for private cars, and their decorative gate arches stop a truck mixer on height rather than width.
Estate roads in these developments are frequently laid last, so early-phase pours happen on unbound murram that will not carry a loaded axle when wet.
Townhouse schemes at Thindigua and Edenville pour in repeated phases, so the same access problem recurs weekly and is worth solving once with a fixed discharge point.

Concrete supply along Kiambu Road

The Kiambu Road corridor is Nairobi’s newest housing at scale, and its access problems are the problems of developments still being built.

The gate arch

The decorative gate structures on these schemes are the single most common reason a delivery here fails, and it is always height. A loaded truck mixer is a tall vehicle and the arch was designed around a private car with a roof box.

Send the clear height with the enquiry. It is a one-minute measurement that avoids a truck arriving at a gate it cannot pass with concrete already going off inside it.

Roads built last

In phased schemes the estate roads are frequently among the last things surfaced, so early pours happen on unbound murram. Dry, that carries a loaded mixer with care. Wet, it does not, and a bedded truck on a half-built estate road blocks every other trade on the site.

Solve it once

Because townhouse schemes pour repeatedly over months, the sensible answer is to establish a fixed discharge point on made ground near the entrance and pump from there for every phase. Set up once, priced once, and it removes the same argument recurring every week for a year.
