Before we start: what we know about Buraydah
Team note on Buraydah: 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.. The centre of Buraydah sits about 606 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Restaurants in Buraydah most often run into trouble on their flat roofs, where kitchen extraction units, air conditioning plant and foot traffic for maintenance all wear down the surface over time. Ponding after rain, lifted seams at the edges and cracks around rooftop fixtures are the usual signs that water is getting beneath the finish. A bitumen membrane, priced at SAR 15–35 per m², is a common choice for this kind of roof because it forms a continuous layer that can be laid over the existing deck and bonded at laps and upstands.
The local setting shapes how that membrane is specified. The centre of Buraydah sits about 606 m above sea level, so the site is inland rather than coastal, but roofs there still face strong sun and wide temperature swings between day and night. For a restaurant roof, the installer should look at how the membrane will handle heat-driven expansion around kitchen exhaust hoods and the drains that carry grease-laden water. Where the roof is also used as a plant platform, it helps to plan walkways and protection boards so the membrane is not punctured by equipment being moved in and out.
Before arranging a visit, ask the contractor to confirm the current roof condition, including whether there are existing blisters, soft spots or old repairs that need cutting back. Ask which parts of the roof are included in the quote, especially the upstands at parapets, the drain outlets and any penetrations for ducts and pipes. It is also sensible to ask how access will be arranged during opening hours, since a restaurant cannot easily close its kitchen extraction for long. Finally, ask whether the price per square metre covers preparation and materials or only the membrane itself, so the figure you receive can be compared fairly with other offers.
For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.
