We are tenants. Can joinery be removed at the end of the lease?

Yes, if it is designed that way from the start. Reversible fixings, a sub-frame rather than direct wall anchoring, and services left in their original positions. It costs a little more and it means the landlord's wall is intact when you go: which is usually the condition of being allowed to fit anything at all.

Why does installation need booking so far ahead?

Vetting. Every fitter on a Gigiri site near the UN Complex needs clearance, and that cannot be arranged at the gate. It also means we cannot simply add people to recover a slipped programme, so we build float in rather than promising a date we might not hold.

Plumber in Gigiri, Nairobi

We cover Gigiri including UN Avenue, UN Crescent, Rosslyn, Nyari East, Nyari West, Red Hill, Ridgeways, Thigiri Ridge. Off Limuru Road and UN Avenue. Fitters are vetted and cleared before installation week, not on the day the load arrives.

What is different about plumbing in Gigiri

Gigiri properties near the UN Complex need our fitters vetted before installation week, so a delayed panel delivery cannot simply be caught up later.
Diplomatic tenancies around Rosslyn frequently require joinery to be reversible, so fixings are designed to come out without damaging the wall behind.
Nyari kitchens are commonly specified against a landlord's standard schedule rather than to the tenant's own preference.

Joinery in Gigiri

Gigiri is the most administratively constrained area we install in, and almost none of the constraint is technical. The joinery is ordinary. Getting a team onto the property is the project.

Vetting sets the programme

Every fitter working near the UN Complex needs clearance in advance. That is manageable when planned and impossible at short notice, and it has one consequence worth stating plainly: we cannot add people to catch up.

So a Gigiri programme carries realistic float from the start. We would rather quote a longer honest installation window than a short one we know we could not recover if a panel delivery slipped.

Reversible by design

Many Gigiri properties are diplomatic tenancies where the occupant changes every few years and the landlord’s condition is that the property comes back as it was.

That is a design requirement, not an afterthought. A sub-frame rather than direct anchoring, fixings that withdraw cleanly, services left where they were. Built that way, joinery lifts out at the end of a lease and the wall behind is intact.

Landlord schedules

Nyari and much of the surrounding stock is let furnished to a landlord’s standard specification. The tenant may have strong preferences and the schedule may not permit them.

We work to whichever governs, and we will tell a tenant early if what they want is outside the schedule. Before a design has been paid for rather than after.
