Al Shafya sits at about 24.5468, 39.6464, roughly 8.2 km from the centre of Madinah, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km, so most villas here are served from the city side rather than from a neighbouring district. The centre of Al Shafya sits about 676 m above sea level, which is a useful starting point for any annual contract because elevation shapes how roofs, drainage and exterior surfaces behave over the year. The first items we check on every contract are therefore the roof and rainwater outlets, the external walls and the boundary drainage, since these are where elevation and open exposure tend to show wear first. A maintenance visit in this area is priced at SAR 150–400 per visit, and the final figure depends on the scope agreed for that specific villa.

What is left to the site visit is the part that cannot be judged from a map. The technician will walk the property, look at the actual condition of the surfaces, and decide whether any section needs restoration. Restoration is priced at SAR 50–150 per m², so the area measured on site, and the state of the material, will set the cost of any work beyond routine checks. We do not promise a result before the inspection, and we will not quote restoration until someone has seen the surface in person. Access to roof hatches, store rooms and outdoor areas should be arranged in advance so the visit covers everything the contract includes.

To help the technician arrive prepared, it is worth recording the villa's coordinates or location within Al Shafya, noting any areas that have been problematic since the last visit, and keeping a list of previous repairs with approximate dates. Please also tell us which spaces are occupied during the day, whether pets or children need to be kept clear of work areas, and where water and power shut-offs are located. Any earlier invoices or photographs of the property are useful, because they show how the building has changed over time. With this information on hand, the visit can focus on the work that matters most for your villa.

In a villa, tanks, the roof and the yard lines are usually yours to look after, so it helps to know where the main valve and tank hatches are.
