Quick answer

GeraHome lets households in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret book ID-verified cleaners, plumbers, electricians, painters, pest-control technicians, and movers in under five minutes — pricing shown in KSh, checkout via M-Pesa, Airtel Money, T-Kash, or card.

Regulation and worker verification

GeraHome providers submit a National ID, a certificate of good conduct from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), NHIF and NSSF numbers, and, where applicable, trade certifications — for example Energy & Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) accreditation for electricians. Customer data is processed under the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 and we hold an ODPC data controller registration.

Typical prices in KSh (Nairobi 2026)

  • Standard cleaning (2-bedroom): KSh 1,800–2,500
  • Deep clean / end-of-tenancy (3-bedroom): KSh 4,500–7,500
  • Plumber call-out (Nairobi): KSh 1,500 call-out + KSh 800/hr
  • Electrician call-out: KSh 2,000 call-out + KSh 1,000/hr
  • Handyman hour: KSh 800–1,200
  • Pest control (1BR flat): KSh 3,500–6,000
  • Movers (studio → 1BR): KSh 6,000–12,000

Paying with M-Pesa and other rails

M-Pesa is the default. After the job is confirmed complete, tap "Pay now", enter your Safaricom number, and approve the STK push — no paybill to remember, no fumbling for change. Airtel Money and T-Kash work the same way. Visa, Mastercard, and bank card rails are also supported for households that prefer them.

Coverage across Kenya

Nairobi: Westlands, Karen, Kilimani, Lavington, Kileleshwa, Runda, Eastlands (Embakasi, Donholm, Pipeline, Umoja). Mombasa: Nyali, Bamburi, Old Town. Plus Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, Ruiru, Kiambu. New counties added based on demand.

Competitive landscape

Lynk is a well-known Kenyan marketplace for home services; informal WhatsApp groups and local fundi networks also dominate the market. GeraHome's differentiators: instant M-Pesa checkout, transparent tiered KSh pricing before booking, DCI good-conduct verification on every provider, and cross-product bundles (e.g. post-op GeraClinic visit + GeraHome elderly-care shifts).

  2. Pick a time slot in the next 90 minutes or schedule ahead.
