About this service
What mould removal and remediation actually involves
Wiping mould off a wall makes it invisible and makes the air worse, because disturbing it releases spores into the room.
Dubai buildings give mould everything it needs in specific places: cold surfaces where chilled water pipes and ducts run, wall voids behind bathrooms, AC drain trays that stop draining, and the inside of duct runs during humid months. It grows out of sight and announces itself as a smell, or as staining that keeps returning after painting.
The instinct is to clean it off. That is the worst thing to do first, because scrubbing dry growth aerosolises spores into a room your family is breathing, and in a sealed air conditioned building those spores circulate rather than disperse.
Remediation is a sequence: contain the area, capture what you disturb, remove material that cannot be saved, treat what remains, dry the substrate properly, and identify what wetted it in the first place.
Contained first, then removed
Disturbing mould without containment spreads spores through the rest of the property. The area is sealed and put under negative pressure before anything is touched.
- Area sealed and held under negative pressure
- HEPA filtration running throughout the works
- Air cleared and checked before containment comes down
Find the water before you open the paint
Mould is a symptom. Painting over it without finding what wetted the wall buys a few months at most, and the next growth comes back through the new coat.
- Moisture mapped with meters, not guessed at
- Source identified and reported in writing
- Substrate dried and verified before any finish
Treated, then finished so it does not return
Once the substrate is genuinely dry, the surface is treated and made good with an antifungal system rather than ordinary emulsion.
- Unsalvageable material cut out and disposed of
- Antifungal treatment and primer, then finish coats
- Written report naming the cause and the remedy
What is included
- Moisture mapping across the affected area and the rooms and voids around it
- Containment of the work area before anything is disturbed
- HEPA filtered extraction during removal so spores are captured rather than circulated
- Removal of blown plaster, saturated board and material that cannot be salvaged
- Biocidal treatment of remaining surfaces
- AC drain tray, drain line and duct inspection, since these are a frequent source
- Controlled drying with readings taken until the substrate is genuinely dry
- Written report naming the moisture source and what needs to happen so it does not return
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.
Frequently asked questions
How much does mould removal and remediation 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 mould removal and remediation 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 mould removal and remediation 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 mould removal and remediation?
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 mould removal and remediation 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.
Why not just clean it off?
Because dry brushing or wiping releases spores into the air in a sealed, air conditioned building. Containment and extraction come first for a reason.
Do you find the cause or just remove it?
Both, and the report is the part that matters. Removal without a cause is a service you will buy again in six months.
Is it always a leak?
No. Condensation on cold surfaces is just as common here: chilled water pipework, duct runs and poorly insulated voids all sweat during humid months.
Can mould be inside the AC system?
Yes, and it is one of the more common places we find it. Drain trays that stop draining and damp duct runs are ideal conditions for it.
Do you handle the repair afterwards?
Yes. Plaster, waterproofing, painting and any MEP work sit within our own service lines, so one company carries it through rather than three.
