Picture the head of a school in Dammam, responsible for a campus where pigeons and sparrows gather on roof edges, ledges and air-conditioning units. Droppings build up on walkways, the noise disrupts lessons, and parents start asking what is being done. For a school, the problem is not only hygiene but also the duty to keep children, staff and visitors safe, so the response needs to be planned rather than improvised.
Dammam's location explains why this matters here. The city centre sits about 12 m above sea level, and the coast is only about 4.3 km away, so many campuses sit in a flat, built-up area where birds easily find sheltered roosting spots on tall buildings and rooftop plant. Nearby water and open ground attract birds back year after year, which means a one-off clean-up rarely solves the issue. Schools should expect the problem to return unless the roof edges, gaps and feeding areas are dealt with together.
A practical approach starts with a survey of the whole site, marking every roost, nesting spot and place where droppings collect. Next, block access by fitting bird-proofing measures to ledges, openings and plant areas, which is usually the largest single cost, typically priced at SAR 30–80 per m. Clean the existing droppings safely, following hygiene precautions, and remove food sources such as bins left open near play areas. Then agree a maintenance schedule: an annual pest-control contract, at SAR 500–1,500 per month, can cover regular inspections, while follow-up visits, at SAR 100–250 per visit, check that the measures are holding. Keep a simple log of visits and repairs so the school can show parents and inspectors what has been done.
For schools, the larger jobs are planned for weekends and holidays.

Questions from Dammam
How long does waterproofing take?
It depends on the area, the material type, and the surface condition. Residential roofs are usually completed within a few days, including preparation and testing.
Are the disinfectants used for sterilization safe for drinking water?
Yes, disinfectants specifically designed for drinking water tanks are used at specified concentrations, and the tank is rinsed thoroughly afterward to remove any residue. We recommend asking about the type of materials before starting.
Is it possible to carry out thermal insulation on an old roof?
Yes, it is possible after inspecting the roof, treating cracks, and removing damaged layers. The contractor determines after the site visit whether the roof needs additional preparation before the insulation is installed.
