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.
- Circuits isolated and fittings removed by our electricians
- Floors, joinery and doorways protected and screened
- Board cut into manageable sections and lowered, not dropped
- Frame, hangers and anchors removed and debris cleared
How we carry out ceiling removal and strip out
Strip out starts with the services, not the board. Light circuits are isolated and fittings taken down, AC grilles and flexible ducts are disconnected and capped, and anything staying live is tagged. Floors are covered and the room is sealed with plastic sheeting. Board is then scored into sections and lowered by hand, since a whole sheet pulled down brings a cloud of dust and whatever is lying on top of it. The steel frame is unscrewed, hangers are cut and anchors taken out of the slab.
The top of an old ceiling in Dubai holds years of fine sand and dust drawn into the void, plus rubble from earlier trades, and it all comes down with the board. Without screens it spreads through the property and into the AC returns. Hidden hazards are the other concern: live cables resting on the board, a drain line supported by the frame, sprinkler pipes close above. In a tower the strip out is coordinated with building management, and the site visit identifies permits, waste routes and what must stay in place.
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 ceiling removal and strip out in Al Barsha South
What does ceiling removal and strip out include?
Old gypsum or tile ceilings are taken down in a controlled order, with lights, grilles and detectors disconnected first and the slab left clean for the next trade. The work includes circuits isolated and fittings removed by our electricians; floors, joinery and doorways protected and screened; board cut into manageable sections and lowered, not dropped.
Can the AC and sprinklers stay in while the ceiling comes down?
The AC units, ducts and sprinkler pipes hang from the slab and normally stay. Grilles, diffusers and light fittings are fixed to the ceiling itself, so they come out and are stored or disposed of as you instruct. Cables are made safe and left coiled for reuse.
How is the dust controlled?
The room is sealed with plastic sheeting and taped doorways, AC returns in the area are covered, and board is lowered in pieces instead of being pulled down. A vacuum with a fine filter runs during the work, and the slab, walls and floor are vacuumed before the screens come down.
How much does ceiling removal and strip out cost in Al Barsha South, Dubai?
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 ceiling removal and strip out in Al Barsha South, Dubai?

How long does ceiling removal and strip out take?
Typically quoted per project, typically 1 to 2 days for a repair and 2 to 5 days for a new ceiling in one room. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Do you carry out false ceiling work in Al Barsha South, Dubai?
Yes. Our ceiling team covers all of Dubai. At the site visit we measure the room, look above the existing ceiling where we can and check what your building or community requires before work starts.
Why has my ceiling stained or started to sag?
Almost always water: a blocked AC drain line, a leaking pipe or a bathroom above. Gypsum board softens when wet, so we trace and stop the source before any board is replaced.
Can you repair one section, or does the whole ceiling need replacing?
Most damage is repaired locally. We cut back to sound board, fix new board to the frame, tape and skim the joints, then repaint the whole ceiling face so the finish is even.
