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 Palm Jumeirah: what we plan for
Palm Jumeirah is two different places for a service crew. The fronds are lined with Garden Homes and Signature Villas, each backing onto a private beach. The trunk and crescent hold apartment buildings such as Shoreline, Golden Mile, Tiara, Oceana and Marina Residences, along with branded residences and hotels.
Salt air reaches every surface on the Palm. It leaves a film on glass, dulls metal and breaks down exterior paint faster than inland. Beach sand is walked indoors daily, and summer humidity encourages mould around AC vents and in bathroom silicone. Coastal air shortens the life of outdoor AC units, pumps and fittings, so we check for corrosion at every service and wash condenser coils.
Each frond has its own security gate where contractors are registered against the villa number. Apartment buildings require a work permit from building management and a service lift booking. Exterior work on villas needs approval from the master developer.

Questions about majlis ceilings in Palm Jumeirah
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 Palm Jumeirah?
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 Palm Jumeirah?
The MELLS provides majlis ceilings in Palm Jumeirah, 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.
Do you carry out false ceiling work in Palm Jumeirah?
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.
How do your crews get access to Palm Jumeirah?
Each frond has its own security gate where contractors are registered against the villa number. Apartment buildings require a work permit from building management and a service lift booking. Exterior work on villas needs approval from the master developer.
Do we need Nakheel approval for work in Palm Jumeirah?
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 Nakheel or the community management in Palm Jumeirah 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 majlis ceilings in Palm Jumeirah?
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 Palm Jumeirah 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.
