What is included
AC ducting sized, fabricated and installed for villas, apartments, offices, shops and restaurants, with joints sealed, ducts insulated and airflow balanced. A ducted AC is only as good as the ductwork hidden above the ceiling. Ducts that are too small are noisy and starve the far rooms, and in Dubai humidity any gap in the insulation sweats and drips onto the ceiling below. Our own technicians work out the airflow each room needs, then fabricate, hang, seal and insulate the ducts and balance the system before handover.
- Hood size and extract rate taken from the cooking equipment
- Duct made with liquid tight joints and laid to a slight fall
- Access doors fitted at bends and along straight runs
- Route and discharge point agreed with the building first
How we carry out kitchen exhaust ducting
The extract rate is worked out from the cooking equipment under the hood, and the duct and fan are sized from that. The duct is made from heavier steel than AC duct, with joints that are welded or sealed liquid tight so grease cannot seep out. It is hung with a slight fall back towards the hood or a drain point, and access doors are fitted at each change of direction so the inside can be reached for cleaning. Make up air is planned with it, or the kitchen pulls air from the dining room.
A kitchen extract built like an AC duct is a hazard: grease collects at every lapped joint, leaks onto the ceiling and cannot be cleaned out. With no access doors, the cleaning crew can only reach the first metre. The route through a tower or a mall and the point where the air is discharged need the consent of the building, and often of the landlord as well. That is identified at the site visit, and we prepare the drawings and paperwork they ask for.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey and diagnosis. A technician inspects the system or surface, takes readings and photographs, and explains what was found in plain language.
- Written quotation. You receive a written quotation against a defined scope before any work starts. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately.
- Protected, supervised work. The work area is protected and isolated, and the job is carried out by our own technicians under a named supervisor.
- Testing. Every job ends with a measured test suited to the discipline, so the result is a reading and a photograph and not an opinion.
- Report and warranty. The completed report reaches you within the hour. Any failed point is put right free of charge within 48 hours.

Kitchen Exhaust Ducting in Jumeirah Bay & La Mer: what we plan for
Jumeirah Bay Island is a low density island off the Jumeirah coast, home to the Bulgari Resort and Residences and a small number of private mansions. Along the same shoreline, La Mer, Port de La Mer and Sur La Mer offer beachfront apartments, townhouses and villas, and Pearl Jumeirah is a peninsula of custom built waterfront homes.
Everything here is within a few hundred metres of open sea. Salt spray coats glass and metal, onshore wind carries fine sand, and humidity is high for much of the year. Salt air attacks outdoor equipment, so condenser coils, pool plant and exterior fittings are inspected for corrosion on every visit.
Access to the island and to the gated residences is controlled by security, and branded residences coordinate contractors through their management office. We provide staff details, insurance and method statements in advance.

Questions about kitchen exhaust ducting in Jumeirah Bay & La Mer
What does kitchen exhaust ducting include?
Kitchen exhaust ducting is a separate grease rated system: heavy steel duct from the hood to the discharge point, with access doors for cleaning and a fan sized to suit. The work includes hood size and extract rate taken from the cooking equipment; duct made with liquid tight joints and laid to a slight fall; access doors fitted at bends and along straight runs.
Can the kitchen exhaust be connected to the AC ducting?
No. Cooking fumes carry grease and heat, so the extract runs as its own system from hood to discharge with its own fan. It shares nothing with the supply and return ducts that cool the premises.
Where can the exhaust discharge?
That is decided with the building, not by us alone. Towers and malls usually provide a dedicated riser or a set discharge location, and villas have more options. We confirm the point and the route at the site visit before anything is fabricated.
How much does kitchen exhaust ducting cost in Jumeirah Bay & La Mer?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size and type of the system or surface; present condition and ease of access. 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 kitchen exhaust ducting in Jumeirah Bay & La Mer?
The MELLS provides kitchen exhaust ducting in Jumeirah Bay & La Mer, Dubai. 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 55 444 0084.
How long does kitchen exhaust ducting take?
Typically agreed at the site visit and planned around your trading hours. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Does the ceiling have to come down?
Not always. Tile ceilings lift out and go back. In a gypsum ceiling we cut openings where the work is and close them afterwards, leaving access panels under the unit and at the dampers.
Do you install AC ducting in Jumeirah Bay & La Mer?
Yes. We install, replace and alter AC ducting in villas, apartments, offices, shops and restaurants across Dubai. A site visit measures the ceiling void and the AC unit before the scope is put in writing.
Why is water dripping from the ceiling under my AC duct?
Most often the insulation or its vapour barrier has a gap, so humid air reaches the cold metal and condenses. A blocked drain line can look the same from below, so we check both before any repair is proposed.
How do your crews get access to Jumeirah Bay & La Mer?
Access to the island and to the gated residences is controlled by security, and branded residences coordinate contractors through their management office. We provide staff details, insurance and method statements in advance.
Do we need Meraas approval for work in Jumeirah Bay & La Mer?
Cleaning, AC servicing and repairs inside the home only need the gate or building pass, which the resident arranges. Exterior painting, waterproofing, fit out and any change to the facade, roof or garden structures need a no objection certificate from Meraas or the community management in Jumeirah Bay & La Mer before work starts. We prepare the method statement, drawings, insurance and trade licence documents the approval asks for.
How do I choose a company for kitchen exhaust ducting in Jumeirah Bay & La Mer?
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 (a measured test for every job, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
Can you come to Jumeirah Bay & La Mer 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.
