Arabic term or phrase: عمل مدة السطوح وتصوينه
Hi all,

Please see the phrase in the title - عمل مدة السطوح وتصوينه
This is an item in a list of obligations of a house seller towards the buyer (as part of a contract for selling the house), i.e. this is a work the buyer has to do before selling the house.

I couldn't find what تصوين is (Google autocorrects to تصويت) and I also don't understand what مدة could be in that context.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Explanation:

(roof laying works and securing of edges)

It depends on how the roof looks like or what type. Assuming this is a flat roof, then:

مَدَّة السطح - بالفتح، تعني
spreading, laying, levelling
مَدّة المادة التي تُفرش على أرضية السطع لوقايته من تسرب المطر والحرارة وتسويتها

تصوين من صون وصوان أي أنه تكون له جوانب مرتفعة لمنع السقوط ، تسمى أيضاً تصوينة
securing of edges
