Does a hotel or serviced apartment roof in Baish need waterproofing, and what will it cost? The centre of Baish sits about 84 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), and roof work here is priced by area. Liquid roof waterproofing is typically SAR 8–25 per m², while a bitumen membrane runs SAR 15–35 per m² and XPS boards cost SAR 12–30 per m². For a building with several roof sections, these per-square-metre rates let an owner compare options and plan a budget before any work starts.
A site visit begins with a walk across the full roof to find where water is getting in. The inspector checks the surface for cracks and blistering, then looks at the parapets, drains and the joints where the roof meets walls or rooftop structures. Where a crack is found, it is measured in metres, because crack injection is charged per metre at SAR 40–120 per m. Any water tanks on the roof are also examined, since internal tank coating is priced at SAR 25–60 per m². The inspector then recommends a system that suits the condition of the roof, rather than a single fixed solution for every building.
To make the visit productive, the property owner should prepare a few things in advance. Gather any previous waterproofing records, repair invoices and warranty papers for the roof. Note the dates and locations of past leaks, especially those seen in guest rooms or apartments below, since this helps trace the source. Make sure access to the roof is clear, with the roof hatch or stairway unlocked and any rooftop equipment identified. If the building has a basement or bathrooms that have also shown damp, list those areas too, because basement waterproofing (SAR 50–150 per m²) and bathroom waterproofing (SAR 15–40 per m²) can be reviewed on the same visit.
For hotels and serviced apartments, rooms are handled in batches to keep units available.
