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.
- Pattern centred on the room and on the seating layout
- Chandelier point anchored to the slab with its own support
- Layers, mouldings and cornices built up in sequence
- Cove lighting tested before the final coat of paint
How we carry out majlis ceilings
The centre of the room is found first, because a majlis is read from the middle outwards. The design is chalked on the slab, the frame for each level is hung on threaded rods, and a steel bracket or hook is anchored into the concrete for the chandelier before any board goes on. Trays are boarded from the highest level down. Cornices and mouldings are fixed with adhesive and screws, mitred at the corners and filled. Our electricians pull the wiring for the cove strips and chandelier, and painting comes last.
A crystal chandelier can weigh as much as a person, and it must never hang from the gypsum or its frame. That single point is where a majlis ceiling most often goes wrong. Large rooms bring a second problem: long runs of board move as the room swings between closed up heat and full AC before guests arrive, so joints are reinforced and movement gaps are hidden in the steps. The site visit measures the room and void, asks for the chandelier weight and checks where AC grilles can sit without spoiling the pattern.
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.

Majlis Ceilings in Al Furjan: what we plan for
Al Furjan is a newer community of villas and townhouses, among them Quortaj and the Dubai Style Villas, with a growing band of apartment buildings such as Masakin Al Furjan, Murano Residences and the Azizi and Candace blocks. Discovery Gardens next door is older and lower: garden apartment buildings grouped into themed clusters, including Zen, Mogul, Mediterranean and Cactus. The Gardens is a similar low rise apartment quarter, and Jebel Ali Village is a villa district.
Apartment plots are still being built across Al Furjan, so cement dust settles on balconies and in AC filters. In Discovery Gardens the cause is different. Mature trees and daily irrigation bring leaf litter, insects and damp shade to the lower floors, and older window seals let fine dust through. AC units in the older apartments often have blocked drain lines that stain the ceiling below. The line is flushed, the tray cleaned and the coil washed. Villa systems in Al Furjan are serviced zone by zone in one visit.
Villa streets in Al Furjan have parking outside the house. Apartment buildings ask for a work permit and a service lift booking, which The MELLS arranges. In Discovery Gardens the blocks are low and the lifts small, so compact equipment is sent.

Questions about majlis ceilings in Al Furjan
What does majlis ceilings include?
Majlis ceilings are usually the most detailed in the house: layered trays, deep cornices, a central feature for the chandelier and concealed lighting round the border. The work includes pattern centred on the room and on the seating layout; chandelier point anchored to the slab with its own support; layers, mouldings and cornices built up in sequence.
Can the ceiling carry a heavy chandelier?
The ceiling does not carry it at all. A fixing sized for the weight is anchored directly into the concrete slab and passes through the gypsum, which only trims around it. Give us the chandelier weight and we choose the anchor and bracket to suit.
How long does a majlis ceiling take?
A detailed majlis runs longer than a plain room because each layer has to be framed, boarded and filled before the next begins, and compound needs to dry between coats. The programme is set out in the written quotation after we have seen the room and the design.
How much does majlis ceilings cost in Al Furjan?
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 majlis ceilings in Al Furjan?

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.
Do I need approval to change a ceiling?
Some buildings and communities ask for a work permit, particularly where sprinklers, smoke detectors or AC grilles sit in the ceiling. This is checked at the site visit, and we prepare whatever documents they request.
How soon can a new ceiling be painted?
Jointing compound has to dry fully, usually overnight between coats in an air conditioned room. Painting follows once the joints are sanded flat and primed.
How do your crews get access to Al Furjan?
Villa streets in Al Furjan have parking outside the house. Apartment buildings ask for a work permit and a service lift booking, which The MELLS arranges. In Discovery Gardens the blocks are low and the lifts small, so compact equipment is sent.
Do you cover Discovery Gardens and The Gardens as well as Al Furjan?
Yes. Apartment teams work in the Discovery Gardens clusters and The Gardens, and villa crews in Al Furjan and Jebel Ali Village. Give the cluster and building number when you book so that the crew arrives at the right block.
How do I choose a company for majlis ceilings in Al Furjan?
