Do I really need an annual maintenance contract for my property in Al Zhra, Makkah, or can I wait until something breaks? Al Zhra is a neighbourhood whose centre lies at 21.4270, 39.7980, about 7.5 km from the centre of Makkah, and its built area spans an approximate radius of 1.2 km. The centre sits about 315 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data. Because the district is compact and sits at this height, many owners find that a planned yearly check is easier to manage than repeated emergency call-outs. A maintenance visit in the area is priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, while restoration work is quoted at SAR 55–160 per m², so a contract lets you budget for routine checks rather than face large repair bills after a fault has spread.

Once the contract is in place, the inspection follows a set sequence. The technician begins with a walk-through of the property to note any visible wear, damp patches, cracks, or signs of water leaking from roofs and pipework. Next, the key systems are tested, including electrical points, water supply and drainage, and any fixed appliances or fittings covered by the agreement. The visit then ends with a written summary listing what was checked, what is working well, and which items need attention. Where restoration is needed, the technician measures the affected area so the owner receives a clear basis for the work, and any urgent safety concerns are flagged at once so they can be dealt with before the next scheduled visit.

To make the most of each visit, prepare a few things beforehand. Clear access to the areas to be inspected, including roof hatches, utility cupboards, and under-sink spaces, so the technician does not lose time moving items. Gather any previous maintenance records, warranty papers, and details of recent repairs, since these help the technician understand the history of the property. Note any problems you have noticed since the last visit, such as slow drains, flickering lights, or stains on ceilings, and write them down with the approximate location. Finally, make sure someone who knows the property is present or reachable by phone during the visit, so decisions about access and approval for any restoration work can be made quickly.

If water is flowing, close the main valve first, then call or message with photos.
