Bitumen membrane in Tabuk: without breaking
In short: Bitumen membrane (without breaking) in Tabuk starts with the roof, falls and drains survey, then the flood test, before anything is opened. The centre of Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Published price: Bitumen membrane (per m²), SAR 15–35 per m²; anything else is quoted after the inspection.
What is specific about Tabuk for bitumen membrane
Team note on Tabuk: 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 Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Tabuk sits about 762 m above sea level, and that height matters for a bitumen membrane. Before any quote is given, the technician checks the roof or deck for its falls, drainage outlets and the condition of the existing surface, because a membrane laid on a flat or poorly drained area will pool water and age faster. Price is set per square metre at SAR 15–35 per m², so the area measured on the first visit is the main input to the estimate. Surface moisture, loose material and old cracks are also noted at this stage, since they decide whether the membrane can bond properly.
Some points can only be settled at the site visit and are left open until then. These include the exact area to be covered, the number of upstands, parapets and pipe penetrations that need detailing, and whether a crack or joint needs separate treatment, which is priced per metre at SAR 40–115 per m. The technician also decides whether the existing layer can stay or must be removed, and whether insulation boards at SAR 10–30 per m² are needed beneath the membrane. None of these choices can be made from a description alone, so the final scope is confirmed on the roof itself.
To help the technician prepare, it is useful to have the roof plan or a rough sketch with dimensions, the access route and any restrictions on working times, and a note of any past leaks and where they appeared. Tell the technician which rooms lie directly below the roof, whether there is a water tank on the roof, and whether the surface is used for storage or equipment. Clear access to the outlets and a dry day for the visit make it easier to check the falls and the surface properly.
The aim is to locate the cause with instruments first, so any opening is limited to one point.
