Fit Out & Renovation
Apartment Fit Out Services in Dubai
In a tower, the building is as much a stakeholder as you are.
Full apartment upgrade, with building approvals handled.
Coordination is what runs a project late
Delays are almost never about the work itself. They are about a date that moved, a decision nobody asked for, or a trade arriving before the one in front finished.
- One programme, sequenced and shared with you
- Approvals handled with the community and authority
- Weekly written update, not a phone call
The services decide the finish
Everything you will look at for the next decade sits on top of MEP that gets covered up in week three. That is the week to get it right.
- MEP set out and signed off before closing up
- Photographic record of everything covered
- As built information handed over at the end
Snagged by us before you see it
A handover list written by the client is a failure of supervision. We snag it, fix it, and then invite you to look.
- Internal snag completed before handover
- Defects closed, not logged and left
- Warranty and maintenance guidance provided
Before anything is quoted
We look at the property before we put a number on it
A price list cannot see your marble, your ducts, or the wall the afternoon sun hits. So we come and look. A senior member of the team surveys the property, and you receive a written quotation the same day, itemised, with what is included and what is not.
No obligation. If we are not the right company for the job we will say so, and tell you who is.
- 01The survey
We look at the property, not a price list. Usually the same day you ask.
- 02The written quote
Fixed, itemised, and sent the same day. What is included, and what is not.
- 03The work
A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. Our own equipment and materials.
- 04The walkthrough
We walk the property with you before the team leaves. Anything not right is dealt with then.
About this service
What is apartment fit out and what does it include?
Working hours, lift bookings, material access, noise restrictions and an NOC that takes longer than anyone expects.
Renovating an apartment is a fundamentally different exercise to renovating a villa, and the difference is almost entirely administrative. Building management controls when you can work, how materials reach the unit, where waste goes, and whether you can proceed at all. Contractors unfamiliar with tower work routinely discover this after the programme is agreed, and the project stops while approvals are chased. Meanwhile you have neighbours on all six sides who will report noise outside permitted hours.
We start with approvals, not construction. NOCs, method statements, insurance documentation, lift and access bookings and waste routing are all handled before a programme is confirmed, so the dates we give you are dates that will hold. Work is scheduled within permitted hours, dust is contained at the unit entrance, common areas are protected and cleaned daily, and your neighbours are given notice of anything disruptive.

The building sets more of the scope than the design does
Structural walls that cannot move, a riser you cannot extend, a slab you cannot core and an owners association with rules on hours and noise. Those are established at survey, and a design drawn without them is a design that gets revised expensively later.
- Structure, risers and slab confirmed before design
- Owners association approvals obtained by us
- Acoustic treatment where the building requires it
- Waste and delivery routes agreed with building management
How the process works
Consultation and survey
We visit, understand what you want, and measure what is actually there rather than assuming.
Scope, drawings and price
You receive a written specification, drawings and a fixed price before anything is demolished.
Approvals started first
NOCs, community, developer and authority approvals are handled by us before the programme is confirmed.
Sequenced execution
Trades run against one programme under one project manager, with weekly progress and photographs.
Variation control
Nothing is added without your written approval. There are no costs you did not agree to.
Snagging and handover
Full snagging list completed, professional deep clean, documentation and warranties handed over.

View serviceFrequently asked questions
How much does apartment fit out cost in Dubai?
There is no fixed rate card. Price follows the size and condition of the property, so a senior member of the team surveys it first and you get a written, itemised quotation the same day. The figure on that quotation is the figure you pay.
Who does apartment fit out near me in Dubai?
MELLS covers ninety communities across Dubai and works in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises. Message +971 58 656 3001 on WhatsApp with your community and we will confirm availability.
What is the best apartment fit out company in Dubai?
Judge any company on three things: whether the team is directly employed or subcontracted, whether the quote is fixed in writing before work starts, and whether a supervisor walks the property with you at the end. MELLS does all three as standard.
How quickly can you start apartment fit out?
Survey usually the same day you ask, quotation the same day, and work scheduled within forty eight hours in most cases. Urgent call outs are handled the same day where the team is free.
Is apartment fit out safe for children and pets?
Yes. Products are selected for occupied family homes as the default, re entry times are told to you before we leave, and anything stronger is only ever used with your agreement.
How do I get a quote from MELLS?
Message us on WhatsApp on +971 58 656 3001 or call the same number. A senior member of the team surveys the property and you receive a written itemised quotation the same day.
Which areas of the UAE does MELLS cover?
Ninety communities across Dubai for residential work, and Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises.
How is a deep clean different from a regular cleaning visit?
A regular visit maintains what is already clean. A deep clean resets the property, including the areas a routine service is not expected to reach: behind and under appliances, inside cabinets, along tracks and skirting, into upholstery and grout. Different equipment, different products, considerably more time.
How often should a Dubai home be deep cleaned?
Twice a year for most homes, typically before and after summer. Households with children, pets, or anyone with allergies usually benefit from quarterly. Move in, move out and post renovation cleans sit outside that cycle.
How often do AC ducts actually need cleaning?
Every eighteen to twenty four months for a typical Dubai property, and sooner after any renovation or if anyone in the home has asthma or allergies. Filters and vents need attention far more often, roughly quarterly.
Are your products safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use products selected for occupied family homes as the default, and full chemical free steam cleaning is available for households that prefer it. Pest control products are DM approved and applied by licensed technicians, and we always tell you when an area is safe to reoccupy.
Do you bring your own equipment and materials?
Yes. Our teams arrive fully equipped with professional grade machinery, products and materials. Nothing of yours is used.
Ready to book apartment fit out?

The difference
Why a cheap apartment fit out job is expensive
The gap is not the price. It is what is actually reached, and whether anyone can show you it was.
The low cost visit
- A price given over the phone, sight unseen
- A small crew, in and out inside a few hours
- Subcontracted labour you have never met before
- The hard to reach areas quietly skipped
- One product used on every surface in the property
- Booked again within weeks because nothing was resolved
The MELLS method
- A senior surveyor attends before any figure is given
- A crew sized to the property, with a named supervisor
- Directly employed, vetted, trained staff, nothing subcontracted
- A written checklist covering the areas nobody else reaches
- Products chosen per surface, stone treated as stone
- Photographs on completion and a walk through with you
