Steel Fabrication Tips in Nairobi

Practical advice from Vickies Chuma Craft Fabricators on steel gates, security doors, windows, railings, pergolas and custom metalwork in Nairobi and Kenya. Learn what affects design, strength, price, finish and installation time.

Steel Gates: Sliding or Swing?

Sliding gates save space along the fence line. Swing gates suit entrances with room to open safely. Price depends on size, design, heavy-gauge steel, hardware, finish and installation. Typical projects may range from KSh 35,000 to KSh 200,000 after measurements.

Security Doors: Strength and Finish

We fabricate single and double steel doors to size for homes, shops and offices. Frames, hinges, locks, steel thickness and design affect security and cost. Grey Crown primer, a client-selected top coat and powder coating options help protect the finish. Typical prices may range from KSh 18,000 to KSh 55,000.

Steel Windows and Burglar Proofing in Nairobi

Custom steel windows provide security, ventilation and a durable finish for homes, offices, shops, schools and apartments in Nairobi, Ngong, Karen, Kiambu, Kajiado and Kitengela.

Window options: casement steel windows for easy opening, sliding steel windows for space-saving layouts, fixed steel windows for light and ventilation, and custom burglar-proof window grills for added security.

What affects the price? Window size, steel gauge, opening style, grill pattern, glass choice, frame design, rust protection and installation. Prices are best confirmed after measurements so the quotation matches the actual opening and design.

Finish and installation: We apply grey Crown primer followed by the client’s preferred colour. Powder coating is also available where suitable. Our team fabricates and installs custom steel windows and burglar-proof grills to fit the property.

Pergolas, Car Sheds and Tank Towers

Pergolas provide outdoor shade, car sheds protect vehicles, and water tank towers require stable bases, bracing and anchoring. Design, height, roofing, tank capacity and site conditions affect the cost. Most projects take approximately 7–15 working days.

Custom Metal Beds in Nairobi

We make strong, modern metal bed frames for homes, hostels, hotels, schools and rental properties. Beds can be made in single, 4x6, 5x6, 6x6 and custom sizes.

Prices start from KSh 9,000 to KSh 45,000, depending on the bed size, design, steel quantity, headboard details, finish and installation requirements.

Choose a simple practical frame or a decorative custom design. We apply grey Crown primer followed by the client’s preferred colour, with powder coating available where suitable. Contact us for measurements, delivery and a quotation.

Custom Steel Curtain Rails in Nairobi

We make durable steel curtain rails for homes, offices, hotels, apartments and rental properties. Choose a single curtain rail for one curtain layer or a double curtain rail for combining sheers with blackout or decorative curtains.

Prices start from KSh 900 for a single rail and KSh 1,500 for a double rail. The final price depends on the rail size, steel quality, design, brackets, finish and installation requirements.

Our curtain rails are made to measure and finished for a clean, strong and lasting installation. Send us your window measurements or request a quotation for custom steel curtain rails in Nairobi, Ngong and surrounding areas.

On-Site Welding Repairs — Fundi Mlangoni

Our on-site welding repair service brings a skilled fundi mlangoni to your home, business, construction site or rental property. We handle broken gates, loose hinges, damaged grills, security doors, curtain rails, bed frames, railings and other small steel repairs.

On-site work is convenient when transporting the item to a workshop is difficult. The welder first checks the damage, tools, materials and access required before starting the repair. For larger jobs, we explain the work and quotation clearly before fabrication or installation.

A welder is paid from approximately KSh 1,200 to KSh 3,000 per day, depending on the workload and location. The total repair cost may also include transport, replacement steel, hinges, locks, paint, welding rods and other materials.

Send a photo, location and short description of the problem on WhatsApp so we can advise on the next step and arrange an on-site assessment.
