Annual maintenance for apartments in Al Zhra, Riyadh, starts with the setting itself. The centre of Al Zhra sits at 24.6863, 46.7303, about 6.3 km from the centre of Riyadh, with an approximate radius of 1.2 km, so most homes here are a short drive from the city core but still in a distinct local area. The centre of Al Zhra also sits about 609 m above sea level, which is worth noting when a technician checks ventilation, drainage and sealed openings, since elevation shapes how air and moisture move through a building over a year. Our first checks therefore focus on the building envelope, the air-conditioning intake and the drainage points that carry water away from the apartment.

Other matters are left to the site visit, because they depend on the particular unit. A technician will look at the condition of the fittings, the state of the wiring at the consumer unit, the seals around windows and doors, and any signs of previous repairs that were carried out without a permit. Each apartment has its own history, so the visit is where the real priorities are set. A maintenance visit is priced at SAR 160–420 per visit, and the final amount depends on what the technician finds and how much time the work takes. Where a surface needs restoration, the cost is SAR 55–160 per m², and the exact figure is confirmed on site after measuring the affected area.

To help the technician, please have a few things ready before the visit. Note any rooms where damp, staining or unusual smells have appeared, and mention any appliance that has been running less well than before. Keep access to the roof hatch, the utility cupboard and the air-conditioning units clear, and let us know if the building management has already carried out work that could affect the apartment. Clear information at the start means the visit covers the most useful ground, and the annual plan can then reflect the actual needs of your home.

In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.
