Handyman & General Maintenance Services in Dubai
Every home has a list. Most of it has been there a year.
The list of small jobs you have stopped noticing.
Where a bad decision stays hidden longest
Plumbing, electrical and mechanical work is where an owner is least equipped to judge what they are being told, and where the wrong call stays buried in a wall for years. We show you the fault, explain the options, and quote before we touch it.
- You see the fault before you approve the fix
- Written quote, no parts added afterwards
- One team, so no trade blames another
Diagnosed before anything is replaced
Replacing a part that was not the fault is the most expensive outcome in this trade, and the most common one.
- Cause established before parts are ordered
- Photographs of the fault, shared with you
- Second opinion welcomed, not resisted
One contract instead of six
Most villas are running separate contractors for AC, plumbing, electrical and general maintenance, all blaming each other. One team removes that entirely.
- Single point of contact for the property
- One schedule, one invoice, one accountability
- Records kept so history is not lost
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 handyman & general maintenance and what does it include?
A door that catches, a cupboard that no longer closes flush, a light that has needed a bulb since March.
None of these are worth a call on their own, which is exactly why they accumulate. The threshold for making a phone call is higher than the annoyance of any single item, so the list quietly grows until it becomes the background texture of living in the house. And there is a second cost that nobody accounts for: small faults are how large ones start. A door that catches is a hinge working loose. A tap that drips is a seal failing. A tile that sounds hollow is one that has already debonded.
We handle the whole list in one visit. Send us the items in a WhatsApp message, photos are ideal, and we will bring the right materials and one technician who can do all of it rather than three visits with three trades. Half day and full day rates are available, which is almost always the sensible way to clear a backlog, and we will tell you if something on the list actually needs a specialist rather than pretending otherwise.

How the process works
Describe the fault
Tell us the symptom and when it started. We will tell you what it is likely to be before we arrive.
Diagnosis before quote
We find the root cause first, using detection rather than opening walls speculatively.
Explained in plain language
You are told what the fault is, what caused it, what the repair involves and what it costs.
The work carried out
Licensed technicians, correct materials, and concealed work photographed before it is closed up.
Tested and documented
The repair is tested on completion and you receive a written record of what was done.
We stay accountable
The same team holds your property history, so the next visit does not start from nothing.
Areas we cover in Dubai

View serviceFrequently asked questions
How much does handyman and general maintenance 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 handyman and general maintenance 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 handyman and general maintenance 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 handyman and general maintenance?
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 handyman and general maintenance 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 handyman & general maintenance?

The difference
Why a cheap handyman and general maintenance 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
