Is a crack in a restaurant's concrete floor or wall something you can leave until the next renovation? In Riyadh, that is a question worth answering early, because cracks in a busy kitchen or dining room tend to grow, collect dirt, and create hazards for staff and guests. The centre of Riyadh sits about 637 m above sea level, and the city's dry climate and large daily swings in temperature put steady stress on concrete slabs, walls and external paving. Our service addresses this directly: a maintenance visit costs SAR 160–420 per visit, and restoration is priced at SAR 55–160 per m², so you can start with a small, low-cost check and scale up only if the damage requires it.

The inspection begins with a walk through the premises to map every visible crack, noting its width, length, direction and whether it runs through a load-bearing section or a wet area such as a kitchen drain line. The technician then checks whether the crack is still moving, which is important because an active crack needs a different repair from one that has settled. Floors in food areas are checked for loose or hollow sections that may sound different when tapped. Where cracks sit near walls, doorways or service entrances, the team looks for signs of uneven settlement. At the end of the visit, you receive a plain written summary of what was found, which areas can wait, and which need work soon, so you can plan around opening hours rather than being forced to close.

Before the visit, clear the areas being inspected as far as you can, especially under counters, around cold rooms and along the wall edges where cracks are most often found. Let the team know which zones are used for food preparation, since repair materials and working hours may need to be scheduled around service times. Keep any earlier invoices, drawings or notes about past repairs, because they show where the building has been patched before and help avoid repeat work. If there are leaks, damp patches or changes in floor level, mark them or take photographs so they can be checked on site. With this preparation, the inspection moves quickly and you leave with a clear, costed picture of your restaurant's concrete condition.

For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.
