What is included
Curtains steamed on their tracks and blinds cleaned slat by slat, without the cost and risk of taking them down. Curtains filter the dust that comes through every window and balcony door. We clean them where they hang, so there is no shrinkage, no rehanging and no bare windows.
- Dropped hems stitched back by hand with matched thread
- Open side seams closed and fraying edges secured
- Torn heading tape replaced or restitched to the right pleat spacing
- Weight cord and corner weights replaced so the curtain hangs straight
How we carry out curtain hem and heading repair
Curtains are pulled by the same edge every day, and that wear shows in a few predictable places. Hems drop where the stitching has rubbed through on the floor. Side seams open near the top. Heading tape tears at the hooks, so a pleat sags and the whole curtain leans. Weight cord, which keeps sheers and linings hanging straight, goes missing after a careless wash. Our team checks each curtain while it hangs, so the problem is seen as it actually looks at the window.
Small repairs are done on site at a table set up in the room, using thread matched to the fabric. Hems are stitched back by hand with a blind stitch that does not show on the face. Seams are closed and fraying edges secured. Heading tape is replaced or restitched with the hooks spaced to match the track. New weight cord is threaded through the hem of sheers. Larger work, such as a full rehem on heavy interlined curtains, may go to a workroom, and the quotation states where it is done.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site visit and written quotation. A supervisor visits, measures and records every room, surface and extra. The written quotation that follows sets out the scope, with no hourly meter and nothing added on the day.
- Protect and prepare. Lifts, floors and furniture are protected and delicate finishes are logged on a surface register before any product is opened.
- Dry before wet, top before bottom. Dust is lifted with HEPA filtered vacuums from ceilings and fittings downwards. Each zone is then wet cleaned with chemistry matched to its finish.
- Detail work and floors. Tracks, switches, skirtings, handles and glass are finished by hand. Floors are machine scrubbed last so nothing is walked back in.
- Inspection and report. The supervisor signs all fourteen checks, photographs the result and sends you the report within the hour.

Curtain Hem and Heading Repair in Dubai Islands: what we plan for
Dubai Islands is Nakheel's group of islands off Dubai's northern coast, near the mouth of Dubai Creek, planned with beaches, marinas, hotels and residential neighbourhoods. Bay Villas brings beachfront, waterfront and garden villas with townhouses and semi detached homes, with handovers expected from 2027.
Open water on every side means salt on glass and outdoor metal, sand blown onto terraces, and high humidity in the warmer months, which makes mould in closed rooms a real risk.
Contractor access is arranged through the community and the building teams. Early on, the developer sets the dates for handover inspections.

Questions about curtain hem and heading repair in Dubai Islands
What does curtain hem and heading repair include?
Loose hems, open side seams, torn heading tape and missing weight cords repaired so curtains hang straight again, often done during a curtain cleaning visit. The work includes dropped hems stitched back by hand with matched thread; open side seams closed and fraying edges secured; torn heading tape replaced or restitched to the right pleat spacing.
Can the repair be done without taking the curtains to a workroom?
Most small repairs, such as a dropped hem, an open seam or a few torn hook pockets, are done on site in the same visit. Heavy interlined curtains needing a full rehem or new heading are better handled at a workroom, and the quotation says which applies.
Why do my sheers hang crooked after washing?
Usually the weight cord in the hem has bunched up or been lost, or the fabric has shrunk unevenly. Replacing the cord and pressing the hem often straightens them. Sheers that have shrunk a lot may need the hem let down or reset.
How much does curtain hem and heading repair cost in Dubai Islands?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size of the property and number of rooms; condition, and how long since the last deep clean. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides curtain hem and heading repair in Dubai Islands?
The MELLS provides curtain hem and heading repair in Dubai Islands. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 58 656 3001.
How long does curtain hem and heading repair take?
Typically 2 to 4 hours for most homes. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Is steam safe for blackout and silk curtains?
Blackout linings are cleaned at low temperature. Silk and velvet are cleaned with low moisture methods after a test.
How often should curtains be cleaned?
Once or twice a year in Dubai, and more often near the coast or next to construction.
Do you take the curtains down?
No. They are cleaned in place, which avoids shrinkage and rehanging. Heavily soiled or lined curtains can be taken for an off site wash if needed.
How do your crews get access to Dubai Islands?
Contractor access is arranged through the community and the building teams. Early on, the developer sets the dates for handover inspections.
How do we stop mould while the villa is empty?
Leave the AC running at a warmer setting, keep wardrobes slightly open and book a check after a long closure. We treat any growth at the cause.
How do I choose a company for curtain hem and heading repair in Dubai Islands?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (14 Point Standard signed by the supervisor, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
Can you come to Dubai Islands at short notice?
Yes. Crews travel from our Barsha Heights base, and urgent work in Dubai is attended within two hours between 08:00 and 19:00, Monday to Saturday.
