What is included
False ceiling and gypsum works for homes, offices and shops: new ceilings, partitions, light coves, access panels and repairs after leaks. In Dubai the ceiling void carries the AC ducts, drain lines and wiring, so most ceiling damage starts with a leak or with a panel cut open for access. We find and stop the cause first, then frame, board, joint and paint so the repair blends with the ceiling around it.
- Green board fixed with corrosion resistant screws
- Cut edges and screw heads sealed before jointing
- Access panel placed below the AC unit, valves and traps
- Antifungal primer and a washable top coat applied
How we carry out moisture resistant ceilings
Green board has a treated core and face paper that take up far less water than standard board. It is screwed to a galvanised frame at closer centres than in a dry room, because damp board sags between supports sooner. Cut edges are the weak point, so they are sealed before the joints are taped and filled in three coats with a compound made for wet areas. The perimeter is finished with a flexible sealant where the ceiling meets tiled walls. Primer and a washable, mould resistant paint complete the surface.
Moisture resistant does not mean waterproof. The board copes with shower steam and cooking vapour; it will still fail under a dripping AC drain or a leaking trap from the bathroom above. In Dubai the worst cases are internal bathrooms with a weak or disconnected extract fan, where warm wet air sits against a ceiling chilled by the AC duct behind it and condenses. The site visit tests the fan, looks above the ceiling for leaks and checks that ordinary board was not used the first time.
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.

Questions about moisture resistant ceilings in Botanical District, Al Barari
What does moisture resistant ceilings include?
Bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and pool rooms get green moisture resistant board on a galvanised frame, jointed and painted so steam does not soften the ceiling. The work includes green board fixed with corrosion resistant screws; cut edges and screw heads sealed before jointing; access panel placed below the AC unit, valves and traps.
Is green board waterproof?
No. It resists humidity and the occasional splash, and it holds its shape in a steamy room. Standing water or a steady drip from above will still break it down, so any leak is traced and stopped before a new ceiling goes up.
Why does mould keep coming back on my bathroom ceiling?
Mould needs moisture that lingers. If the extract fan is weak, ducted to nowhere or switched off with the light, steam stays on the ceiling for hours. Fixing the ventilation matters as much as the board and paint, and we check both on the same visit.
How much does moisture resistant ceilings cost in Botanical District, Al Barari?
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.
