Does a restaurant roof in Baqiq really need waterproofing, and what will it cost? The centre of Baqiq sits about 83 m above sea level, and roof work here is priced per square metre by the type of system used. Liquid roof waterproofing typically falls between SAR 8 and SAR 25 per m², while a bitumen membrane runs from SAR 15 to SAR 35 per m². XPS boards are listed at SAR 12 to SAR 30 per m², and spray foam at SAR 20 to SAR 45 per m². These ranges let an owner compare options before anything is decided on site.
The inspection starts with the roof surface itself, where the technician checks for cracks, ponding, and failed old coatings. Any cracks found are measured, because crack injection is charged per metre at SAR 40 to SAR 120 per m. Where a restaurant has an internal water tank or a kitchen area with heavy wash-down, the tank internal coating (SAR 25 to SAR 60 per m²) and epoxy coating (SAR 35 to SAR 90 per m²) are noted as separate items. The visit ends with a written list of the areas, the measurements, and the system recommended for each section of the roof.
Before the visit, gather the roof area drawings or a rough sketch with dimensions, and list any leaks you have noticed, including where they appear inside the restaurant. Note which parts of the roof are used for equipment, storage, or foot traffic, since that affects the choice of surface. If there is an existing tank on the roof, make sure it is accessible and empty enough to inspect. Having these details ready means the inspection can focus on the work itself and the quotation can match your actual roof.
For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.
