Is a bitumen membrane the right roof protection for a restaurant in Hafr Albatin, and what will it cost? Bitumen membrane for this kind of work is priced at SAR 15–35 per m², which gives an owner a clear starting range before any survey is done. The centre of Hafr Albatin sits about 312 m above sea level, and that location is the reason the roof is worth planning carefully, since a restaurant roof carries kitchen extraction units, grease-laden air, and frequent foot traffic for maintenance. Comparing the membrane with other options helps set expectations: liquid roof waterproofing is listed at SAR 8–25 per m², and XPS boards at SAR 12–30 per m², so the membrane sits in the middle of the range for a roof that needs a durable sheet layer.
The inspection usually starts with a walk across the full roof area to measure the surface and mark any low points, ponding spots, cracks, and areas around pipes, vents, and parapets where water tends to collect. The inspector checks the existing membrane or screed for blistering and lifted edges, then looks at the drainage outlets to confirm they are clear and sit at the correct level. Where cracks are found, the inspector notes their length in metres, since crack injection is priced at SAR 40–120 per metre and may be needed before the new layer goes down. The output is a measured sketch of the roof with the problem areas marked, which becomes the basis for a quotation.
Before the visit, the owner should clear access to the roof, remove loose items and planters, and make sure the kitchen extraction and rooftop equipment can be identified so that no work is done around them unprotected. Gather any previous roofing records, warranty papers, and repair invoices, as these show what has already been done and where leaks have appeared before. Note any staining or dampness seen inside the restaurant, including the storage area and walk-in cold room, and the date each was first noticed. Having the dimensions of the roof and a clear idea of which areas trouble the business most will let the inspection focus on the right places.
For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.
