About this service
What wooden floor polishing and restoration actually involves
A wooden floor in Dubai is not failing because it is old. It is failing because of what the air does to it.
Humidity here swings hard. Interiors sit at low humidity for months under continuous air conditioning, then take a sharp rise when doors open in a wet winter month. Timber moves with that, and boards that were laid without the right expansion allowance cup, gap or lift at the edges.
On top of that, fine sand walked in from outside acts as sandpaper underfoot, wearing through the lacquer along the traffic routes long before the rest of the floor shows anything. That is why a floor often looks fine at the edges and grey down the middle.
Restoration means taking the finish back to bare timber, repairing what has moved, and putting down a system that suits the conditions rather than whatever was cheapest on the day it was laid.
Cut back through the stone, then hardened
Diamond grinding, honing and polishing works the stone itself rather than laying a coating over it. The shine is the marble, so it does not peel, cloud or wear off in traffic lanes.
- Diamond grinding, honing and polishing in sequence
- Crystallisation to harden the surface
- Sealed against water and oil staining
Edges, thresholds and skirting included
The middle of a floor is the easy part. What gives a polish away is the perimeter, the door thresholds and the stair nosings.
- Perimeters and thresholds worked by hand
- Stair nosings and risers included
- Adjacent joinery protected throughout
Maintained so it does not need doing again
Most marble is ruined by the wrong daily cleaner, not by traffic. We leave you with a maintenance routine and the right product for it.
- Correct pH neutral products left on site
- Maintenance routine written down for your team
- Scheduled top up rather than a full re-polish
What is included
- Survey of board type and thickness, because engineered boards have a limited wear layer and can only be sanded so many times
- Dust contained sanding through progressive grits with extraction at the machine
- Cupped, lifted and damaged board repair or replacement, colour matched where we can
- Gap filling where movement has opened joints
- Stain or tone matching to the rest of the property if only part of the floor is being done
- Hard wax oil or high traffic lacquer, chosen for the room's use and the building's humidity
- Skirting and threshold protection throughout, and the site left clean
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 wooden floor polishing and restoration 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 wooden floor polishing and restoration 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 wooden floor polishing and restoration 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 wooden floor polishing and restoration?
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 wooden floor polishing and restoration 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.
Can engineered wood be sanded?
Usually once or twice, depending on the thickness of the wear layer above the ply. We measure it at the survey. Sanding through the veneer cannot be undone.
How much dust does it make?
Far less than people expect. Extraction runs at the machine and the room is sealed. It is not a dustless process, but it is not the disaster it used to be.
How long is the floor out of use?
Typically two to four days for a room depending on the finish and the drying conditions. Hard wax oil is usable sooner than lacquer but needs longer before rugs go back down.
Do you match an existing floor?
We can get close on tone, but timber varies and an older floor has aged. We show you a test area on your own boards before committing.
Is oil or lacquer better in Dubai?
Lacquer wears harder in high traffic. Oil is easier to repair in patches without redoing the whole floor. Which is right depends on the room.
