Before we start: what we know about Taif

Team note on Taif: 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 Taif sits about 1673 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).

Taif sits at a high altitude, and the centre of the city is about 1673 m above sea level according to SRTM open elevation data. That height means the climate and building conditions here differ from those in coastal Saudi cities, so a restaurant's insulation work starts with a close look at the roof, walls and kitchen areas rather than a standard template. Our technician first checks the surfaces that will receive spray foam, because the cost and the approach depend on the exact area and condition. Spray foam for this type of work is priced at SAR 25–45 per m², and the final figure depends on the thickness needed and the state of the surface underneath.

Several items are left to the site visit, because they can only be judged on the ground. The technician will look for cracks, which may need crack injection at SAR 40–115 per metre, and will decide whether the roof needs liquid waterproofing at SAR 10–25 per m² or a bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m². Where a cold room or a tank sits on the premises, the tank internal coating is priced at SAR 25–55 per m², and XPS boards, at SAR 10–30 per m², may be considered for certain wall or floor sections. None of these choices is made until the technician has measured the space and checked how moisture moves through it.

To help the technician prepare, please note the areas you plan to insulate, any past leaks or damp patches, and the times when the kitchen is quietest so that work can be scheduled without disrupting service. Share photographs of the roof and any cracked walls before the visit, and mention whether the basement or bathrooms are included in the job, since basement waterproofing at SAR 50–145 per m² and bathroom waterproofing at SAR 15–40 per m² are separate line items. Clear information at the start means the site visit can focus on measurement and recommendations, and you receive a quotation that reflects your restaurant's actual needs in Taif.

For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.

Signs worth paying attention to

The following signs are worth checking before they grow:

• Leaks from the panel joints
• A hot metal-sheet roof or hangar
• Thermal and water insulation needed together

The most common causes

• Joints in metal sheets and sandwich panels.
• A common cause: no UV protection on the surface.

Tools and methods, and when we use them

How the work is done, step by step

1. Survey: Joints, fixings and gutters are checked.
2. Preparation: The surface is cleaned and dried.
3. Spraying in layers: Foam is applied in passes to the agreed thickness.
4. Protection: A UV-resistant top coat protects the foam.
