Qatar’s climate is unique—long, hot summers, high humidity along the coast, and occasional dusty winds can take a toll on buildings. Whether you own a villa, apartment, or commercial property, regular maintenance is essential to protect your investment, maintain safety, and ensure year-round comfort.
Protect Your Building from Heat Damage
- Use UV-resistant exterior paints to prevent fading and cracking.
- Install heat-reflective window films or double-glazed windows to reduce interior heat buildup.
- Inspect and maintain roof insulation to keep interiors cooler and cut energy costs.
Manage Humidity and Condensation
- Regularly service air conditioning units to prevent mould growth and water leaks.
- Install dehumidifiers in closed spaces to reduce excess moisture.
- Check for signs of condensation damage on walls, ceilings, and furniture.
Prevent Dust and Sand Damage
- Seal windows, doors, and vents to minimise dust infiltration.
- Clean air filters in HVAC systems monthly during dusty seasons.
- Use dust-resistant paints and easy-to-clean surfaces indoors.
Maintain Plumbing and Water Systems
- Inspect pipes for corrosion or scaling, which can occur due to Qatar’s mineral-rich water.
- Schedule water tank cleaning every 6–12 months to maintain water quality.
- Ensure proper drainage to prevent water pooling and mosquito breeding.
Care for Outdoor Spaces
- Choose heat- and drought-resistant plants for landscaping.
- Maintain shaded areas and pergolas to protect outdoor furniture.
- Apply protective coatings on metal structures to prevent rust.
Regular Safety Inspections
- Test electrical systems for overloads and faulty wiring.
- Keep fire extinguishers and smoke alarms in working condition.
- Inspect elevators, parking systems, and emergency exits in commercial properties.
Schedule Annual Professional Checks
Even with regular upkeep, professional inspections can catch issues early—such as roof leaks, foundation cracks, or structural wear—before they become costly repairs.
