Annual maintenance for villas in Arqa, Riyadh, starts with the location itself. The centre of Arqa sits at 24.6841, 46.5826, about 9.9 km from the centre of Riyadh, and the neighbourhood covers an approximate radius of 3.8 km. Our technicians therefore begin each contract by confirming the property's exact position within that area, since distance from the city centre and local conditions shape what needs attention first. The centre of Arqa sits about 686 m above sea level, according to SRTM open elevation data, which means the site visit will also note how the property's roof, drainage and external walls face the elements at this height.
Drainage is checked early for a practical reason. The nearest wadi channel is about 2 km from the centre of Arqa, according to OpenStreetMap, so the technician will look at gutters, downpipes, boundary drainage and the ground falling away from the foundations. Water is only one matter for the site visit to settle. The condition of the roof coverings, the state of external paintwork, the safety of electrical fittings, the performance of air-conditioning units, plumbing fixtures, and any signs of cracking or damp are all judged on the day, because each property has its own history and use. The technician will decide what is urgent, what can wait for the next scheduled visit, and what needs a quotation.
To help the technician arrive prepared, please note any previous repairs, recent leaks, changes to the layout, and the areas you use most. Clear access to the roof, the plant room, the water tanks and the external boundary saves time on the visit. Keep a record of any work done in the past year and mention any appliances that are misbehaving. Maintenance visits are charged at SAR 160–420 per visit, and where restoration is recommended, it is priced at SAR 55–160 per m². Knowing the approximate size of the affected areas in advance helps the technician give a realistic estimate before any work begins.
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.
