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.
- Slat spacing and direction set out on the ceiling first
- Carrier rails hung level from the slab on threaded rods
- Black acoustic fleece laid behind open slats
- Lift out sections formed below AC units and valves
How we carry out wooden and slatted ceilings
Slats run one way and the carriers run across them, so the frame is hung first from the slab on threaded rods and levelled by laser. Solid timber and veneered board are left in the air conditioned room for several days before fixing so they settle to its humidity. Each slat is clipped or screwed from behind to keep the face free of fixings. Open slatted designs get a black fleece above, which hides the void and absorbs sound. Lights and sprinkler heads are lined up with the gaps, not cut through a slat.
Wood moves. Fitted tight in a cool, dry room and then left through a summer with the AC off, long boards swell, bow and push at their end joints. Small gaps at the walls and at each length give that movement somewhere to go. Weight matters too, because a timber ceiling is heavier than gypsum and must hang from the slab, never from an existing false ceiling. The site visit checks what runs through the void and whether a wood effect aluminium slat would serve better near a kitchen or terrace door.
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.

Wooden and Slatted Ceilings in Town Square: what we plan for
Town Square is a large family community off Al Qudra Road, built by Nshama around a central park and Reel Cinemas square. Rows of townhouses such as Zahra, Hayat, Safi, Naseem, Noor and Sama sit beside mid rise apartment buildings including Zahra Breeze, Jenna, Warda, Rawda and UNA.
Open desert lies on two sides of the community, so wind carries fine sand into window tracks, balconies and AC filters. Many homes are still in their first years, and builder's dust, paint spots and silicone marks are often left behind from handover. AC units work hard this close to the desert, so filters and coils clog quickly. We clean them in the same visit and check the drain lines.
Townhouse streets are open to visitors with no gate pass. Apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a service lift booking, and we arrange both.

Questions about wooden and slatted ceilings in Town Square
What does wooden and slatted ceilings include?
Timber, veneered and wood effect slats or planks are fixed to a concealed carrier frame below the slab, with acoustic fleece behind and removable sections for access. The work includes slat spacing and direction set out on the ceiling first; carrier rails hung level from the slab on threaded rods; black acoustic fleece laid behind open slats.
Is real wood a good idea in a Dubai ceiling?
Indoors, in a room that stays air conditioned, real timber and veneer behave well. Near bathrooms, kitchens, terraces and pool areas the humidity swings are too wide, and a wood effect aluminium or laminate slat keeps its shape far better.
Do slatted ceilings help with echo?
Open slats with fleece and mineral wool behind them absorb a useful amount of sound, which is why they are used in restaurants and lobbies. Closed planks with no gaps reflect sound much as a painted ceiling does.
How much does wooden and slatted ceilings cost in Town Square?
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 wooden and slatted ceilings in Town Square?
The MELLS provides wooden and slatted ceilings in Town Square, 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 wooden and slatted ceilings 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.
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 Town Square?
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.
How do your crews get access to Town Square?
Townhouse streets are open to visitors with no gate pass. Apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a service lift booking, and we arrange both.
Do you cover every part of Town Square?
