Some “factory” listings on Google Maps are fake. One “Royal Mabati Eldoret” listing points to a completely different company’s website. Maisha Mabati’s real profile sits unclaimed. Here is how to make sure you are talking to the real factory before your money leaves your phone.
How to spot a fake mabati factory →Common questions about mabati prices
How much is gauge 30 mabati now?
This month, box profile gauge 30 runs KSh 480 to 650 per metre, corrugated gauge 30 is KSh 400 to 500, and roman tile gauge 30 is KSh 630 to 780. Exact prices depend on brand, finish and length. See our verified price index for the full breakdown.
How many sheets do I need for a 3-bedroom house?
A typical 3-bedroom roof is about 120 square metres. Using 3-metre box profile sheets, you need roughly 55 to 65 sheets plus ridges and nails. It varies with pitch and overhang, so use our free roof calculator for a figure matched to your house.
Which mabati brand is best in Kenya?
There is no single best brand. By real Google reviews, mid-size factories like Capital (4.7) and Boma (4.6) out-rate the giants Royal (4.2) and MRM (4.3). The best brand for you depends on price, delivery to your county and the profile you want. See our factory ranking.
What is the difference between gauge 28 and gauge 30?
The gauge number is the sheet thickness, and a lower number means thicker steel. Gauge 28 is thicker than gauge 30, so it is quieter in rain, lasts longer and costs more. Gauge 30 is the standard house choice; step up to gauge 28 for coastal or permanent homes.
Do mabati factories deliver upcountry?
Yes. Most factories deliver countrywide, usually free above a minimum order, with timing from 1 to 2 days around Nairobi to 4 to 7 days for remote counties. Delivery is arranged by the factory, not by Mabati.ke. Confirm the delivery cost and timing before you pay.
How do I order mabati without getting cheated?
Confirm the gauge and length in writing, check the price against this month’s verified range, and make sure the factory’s Google listing is claimed and reviewed before paying a deposit. Send us your list on WhatsApp and we connect you to a vetted factory at the real price, with no markup.
