How buying works
Step 1: Send the area and your town
On WhatsApp, by phone, or with the calculator. A rough length and width is enough to start.
Step 2: Get a price and a delivery day
We reply during working hours (Mon–Sat 7:00am–6:00pm, Sun by appointment) with the price per m², transport, and when the lorry can come. For laying, we book a free site visit first.
Step 3: Deposit, then delivery
A deposit confirms the order. We deliver to site, or deliver and lay, and you pay the balance when it is done.
Thickness decides everything
Colour does not add strength. Strength comes from thickness, the mix, the pressing and the curing, and from the base underneath.
| Thickness | Duty | Typical use | Indicative load |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50mm | Light |
| Small cars, up to about 10 tonnes |
| 60mm | Medium |
| Up to about 20 tonnes |
| 80mm | Heavy |
| Up to about 40 tonnes |
60mm is the safe default for a Kenyan home compound where a water bowser or materials lorry may come in. Read the full thickness guide

Work out the quantity
Enter the length and width, choose what the area is for, and the calculator recommends a thickness, adds wastage and counts the blocks. Then it sends the whole estimate to us on WhatsApp in one tap.
Open the calculatorSupply and lay
Cabro only performs as well as the base under it. Our laying quote covers the ten steps from setting out to the final sand sweep, and it says plainly what is included and what the site visit will price separately, such as black cotton soil removal.
- Setting out and levels
- Sand bedding, screeding and laying
- Edge cuts and joint sand
- Plate compaction and final sweep
- Clearing off-cuts and packaging from site
Where we deliver
Each town page has notes on the local soil, estate access and what we usually pave there.
Questions we get every day
How is cabro priced?
Per square metre, not per block. A square metre takes roughly 45–50 blocks. Quotes state whether transport, murram, sand and laying are included so you can compare like with like.
What thickness do I need?
50mm for walkways and patios, 60mm for a home compound, driveway or estate road, 80mm for lorries, petrol stations and industrial yards. 60mm is the safe default for a Kenyan home where a water bowser or building-materials lorry will occasionally come in.
Do you deliver to my area?
We deliver across Nairobi, Kiambu, Machakos and Kajiado counties. Transport is quoted per lorry trip by distance. See the towns list for local notes on soil and access.
Do you lay it or just sell it?
Both. You can buy supply-only and use your own fundi, or we supply and lay with the base, sand bedding, compaction and edge restraint included in one quote.
How long does it take?
Stock colours usually ship within 1–2 working days. Laying moves at roughly 40–80 m² per day per team once the base is ready, depending on pattern and how many cuts there are.
Can I pay a deposit?
Yes. A deposit confirms the order and the balance is due before delivery, or on completion if we are laying.
Does colour affect strength?
No. Strength comes from thickness, the concrete mix, pressing and curing — not the pigment. Coloured blocks cost more because pigment costs more, not because they are stronger.
