Concrete cracks in restaurant floors and kitchens are usually the first problem owners notice, and they tend to appear in the areas that take the most daily punishment: back-of-house prep zones, walk-in cooler thresholds, and the strip where mop water pools near drains. In Alkharj, the centre of the town sits at roughly 439 m above sea level, and that matters for how we approach a job. Daytime heat on exposed slabs can be intense, so hairline cracks often widen through repeated expansion and contraction before anyone sees a real problem. A restaurant kitchen that runs hot ovens and fryers for long hours adds its own stress, so the repair plan has to account for both the temperature swings and the constant foot traffic.
Because of that, we do not treat every crack the same way. A surface-level hairline in a dining area may only need a clean and seal, while a crack under a heavy equipment base or along a drain line needs the damaged concrete cut back to sound material before any filler goes in. For a basic check-and-seal visit, expect a maintenance charge of SAR 150–400 per visit, which covers inspection, cleaning, and sealing of small defects. Where the damage covers a wider area and needs full restoration, the rate is SAR 50–150 per m², and the final figure depends on the depth of the damage, the surface finish you want to keep, and how many kitchen hours can be lost to the work.
Before the visit, it helps to have a few details ready. Tell us which rooms are affected, how long the cracks have been visible, and whether any of them sit near a drain, a cooler, or a load-bearing equipment base. Note whether the floor is tiled, polished, or bare concrete, and whether the area can be closed during service hours. Photos taken in daylight, with a coin or tape measure in frame for scale, help us estimate the job before we arrive. With those details in hand, we can tell you whether a maintenance visit will hold or whether a full restoration is the safer option for your kitchen.
For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.

Questions from Alkharj
Does an underground tank require waterproofing even if it is new?
Yes, concrete is naturally porous, which can lead to leaks or groundwater seepage. Applying epoxy or cementitious insulation from the start maintains water quality and protects the structure from corrosion.
Do you need to evacuate the building during renovation work?
It depends on the type and scope of the work. Surface work such as plastering and painting usually does not require evacuation, while partial or full evacuation may be advised in cases of structural reinforcement, and the contractor determines this after inspection.
