Bird control in Makkah: the local context
The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Team note on Makkah: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins..
Pigeons and crows are the most common bird problem in villas in Makkah. Droppings build up on flat roofs, parapets, water tanks and balconies, and nesting in gaps under eaves and around air-conditioning units can block drainage and damage finishes over time. Because villas often have several roof levels and open terraces, the problem tends to appear in the same spots every season, so a visit usually starts with a close look at the roof edges and ledges where birds settle and roost.
The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level, and that matters for planning. Bird control is priced at SAR 30–85 per metre, so the length of ledge, parapet and roof edge that needs protecting drives the cost more than anything else. Proofing work is typically scoped by measuring the linear metres of exposed edges and any enclosed gaps, then deciding which areas need netting or spikes. Where birds have already nested, a follow-up visit at SAR 105–265 per visit is usually needed to confirm the site is clear and that no new access points have opened up.
Before the visit, ask for a clear measurement of the areas to be treated, listed by roof level, so you can compare the quote to the metres involved. Ask whether the price covers removal of existing nests and droppings, and whether a follow-up visit is included or charged separately at SAR 105–265 per visit. If you want ongoing cover, ask about an annual pest-control contract, which runs at SAR 525–1,575 per month. Also check whether the same team can handle rodent control at SAR 210–525 per visit or a standard pest-control visit at SAR 160–420 per visit, so one provider can cover the villa's other pest issues.
Villas often have several lines and tanks; we test them one at a time so the cause is clear.

Questions from Makkah
What does finishing work typically include?
It covers plastering, painting, flooring, stone or marble walls, ceilings, gypsum, doors, windows, and final electrical and plumbing installations. You can request full or partial finishing, with the scope clearly defined in the price quote.
Is it possible to renovate the building without evacuating the residents?
In many cases it can be carried out in phases without a full evacuation if the damage is limited. However, for extensive structural renovation, a temporary evacuation may be recommended to ensure safety, and the contractor will explain this in their proposal.
Does waterproofing require removing existing tiles?
It depends on the site condition. Sometimes surface waterproofing can be applied over tiles, while deep leaks require tile removal to treat the layer underneath. A technician will determine the best option after inspection.
