The centre of Madinah sits about 589 m above sea level, which places the city on a high inland plateau rather than near the coast. For companies with an annual maintenance contract, this matters because the altitude and the open, dry terrain around the city shape how buildings age. Sun and dust work on rooftops, façades and external units throughout the year, so our preventive visits focus on sealing, drainage outlets and the condition of exposed surfaces before the hot months arrive.
Each maintenance visit is priced at SAR 150–400 per visit, and the exact figure depends on the size of the site, the number of systems to be checked and the access required. Because the price is set per visit rather than per job, a contract lets a company spread its costs evenly across the year instead of facing large, unplanned repair bills. Where surfaces have already weathered badly, restoration is quoted separately at SAR 50–150 per m², so the crew can record damage early and address it while it is still small and inexpensive to fix.
Owners who manage this contract well tend to avoid a few common mistakes. They do not wait for a fault to appear before booking a visit, because dust and heat often cause damage quietly for months. They do not treat external areas as separate from the main building, since roof drains and wall joints affect the interior too. They also avoid leaving access arrangements until the day of the visit, which delays the work and leaves problems unresolved. A clear schedule agreed at the start of the year keeps the site in steady condition and makes every visit count.
For companies, an annual contract sets the scope, the visit schedule and the reports in writing.

Questions from Madinah
What is the difference between standard spraying and integrated pest management?
Standard spraying treats visible symptoms only, while integrated pest management includes diagnosis, sealing entry points, and multiple methods for longer-lasting results.
Could the leak be caused by weak waterproofing rather than the pipes?
Yes, damage to the waterproofing layer beneath the bathroom floor is one of the most common causes of leaks, especially in older buildings. In this case, water seeps through the tile joints into the screed and then down to the ceiling below. A specialized inspection can distinguish this from a pipe leak.
What is the difference between drain unblocking and drain cleaning?
Unblocking removes an existing blockage that prevents drainage, while cleaning is a preventive procedure that removes deposits and grease from pipes before they cause a blockage.
What is the first step of preventive maintenance (for companies (annual contract))?
We start with schedule (agreed per asset and season), then visits (carried out as scheduled).
