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.
- Board type, layers and stud size taken from the tested detail
- Joints staggered between layers and every joint filled
- Pipe, cable and duct penetrations sealed as the detail shows
- Photographs of each layer kept before it is covered
How we carry out fire rated ceilings and partitions
A fire rated wall or ceiling is a tested assembly, and it only performs if it is built the way it was tested. The drawing names the board, the number of layers, the stud or channel size, the screw spacing and the sealant. We follow that sheet exactly: frame fixed to floor and slab with the stated fixings, first layer of board screwed off, second layer with its joints staggered from the first, and every joint and screw head filled. A rated partition runs to the underside of the slab, not just to the false ceiling.
These systems are rarely let down by the board. They are let down by the holes. A cable tray pushed through later, a pipe sleeve left open, a recessed light with no enclosure: each one breaks the barrier. The MELLS installs to the manufacturer's tested detail and the approved drawing, and inspection and approval belong to the authority or the building's consultant. The approvals the building, the master developer or the authority asks for are identified at the site visit and The MELLS prepares the paperwork.
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.

Fire Rated Ceilings and Partitions in Mirdif: what we plan for
Mirdif is one of Dubai's established family districts, east of the airport, with streets of private villas built from the 1990s onwards, the townhouses of Shorooq and Mushrif Village, and apartments at Uptown Mirdif, Ghoroob, Mirdif Hills and Mirdif Tulip. Al Warqa, Al Mizhar, Al Rashidiya, Nad Al Hamar and Al Khawaneej surround it with larger private villas.
Many homes here are twenty to thirty years old, so AC ducts, water tanks, roofs and bathrooms have had time to collect what newer communities have not seen yet. Mature gardens bring leaf litter and irrigation marks, and dust settles quickly on sills, roofs and outdoor furniture. In villas of this age the AC ducts, drain lines, water heaters, pumps and rooftop tanks are usually due for attention. We inspect first and report what is urgent and what can wait.
Most streets are open, with no community gate, and we park at the villa. Apartment communities such as Ghoroob, Uptown Mirdif and Mirdif Hills need a work permit from building management, which we arrange.

Questions about fire rated ceilings and partitions in Mirdif
What does fire rated ceilings and partitions include?
Fire rated board, steel frame and sealant are installed layer by layer to the manufacturer's tested detail and the approved drawing, ready for inspection by others. The work includes board type, layers and stud size taken from the tested detail; joints staggered between layers and every joint filled; pipe, cable and duct penetrations sealed as the detail shows.
Does The MELLS issue the fire approval for the wall or ceiling?
We do not. Our part is to build the system to the manufacturer's tested detail and the approved drawing, and to keep photographs of each stage. Inspection and acceptance are carried out by the authority or by the building's consultant, and we attend that inspection if asked.
Can fire rated board go on an ordinary frame?
The rating belongs to the whole assembly, not to the board alone. Fire rated board on the wrong studs, with the wrong screw spacing or unsealed gaps, is not the tested system. Frame, fixings, layers and sealant all have to follow the same detail.
How much does fire rated ceilings and partitions cost in Mirdif?
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 fire rated ceilings and partitions in Mirdif?
The MELLS provides fire rated ceilings and partitions in Mirdif, 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 fire rated ceilings and partitions 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 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.
Do you carry out false ceiling work in Mirdif?
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.
How do your crews get access to Mirdif?
Most streets are open, with no community gate, and we park at the villa. Apartment communities such as Ghoroob, Uptown Mirdif and Mirdif Hills need a work permit from building management, which we arrange.
Do you work in older villas in Mirdif?
Yes. Much of our work in Mirdif, Al Warqa and Al Mizhar is in villas twenty years old or more, where the supervisor checks ducts, tanks, roofs and bathrooms at the site visit and writes what was found into the quotation.
How do I choose a company for fire rated ceilings and partitions in Mirdif?
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 Mirdif 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.
