What is included
Light fixing and lighting installation for homes, offices and shops, from one replaced fitting to downlights, LED strip, pendants and outdoor lights. Most lighting faults in Abu Dhabi trace back to a fitting screwed into gypsum board alone, a driver with no headroom, or a joint that humidity has reached. Our own technicians isolate the circuit at the distribution board, prove it dead with a tester and work to the manufacturer's instructions. Any approval the building or the community asks for is identified at the site visit, and we prepare the paperwork.
- Circuit isolated at the distribution board and proved dead
- Old fitting removed and the cable ends inspected for heat damage
- New fitting fixed to the slab, a joist or a rated anchor
- Lamp, switch and earth connection tested before handover
How we carry out light fixing and replacement
The breaker for the lighting circuit is switched off, and a tester on the terminals confirms the cable is dead before anyone touches it. The old fitting comes down and the cable ends are looked at closely: brittle insulation or a browned terminal block means the last lamp ran hot. The new fitting is fixed to the slab, a joist or a rated anchor, the conductors are terminated in a proper connector, and the earth is made off even where the old fitting left it tucked away unused.
Most of the loose lights we are called to were screwed into gypsum board with a plastic plug. They hold for a year or so, then the board crumbles around the screw and the fitting hangs on its cable. In Abu Dhabi apartments the other common find is a joint wrapped in tape above the ceiling, left by a previous tenant. The site visit looks at the ceiling type, the weight of the new fitting and whether the existing switch suits it.
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.

Light Fixing and Replacement in Corniche Road: what we plan for
The residential stretch of Corniche Road is a line of apartment towers facing the beach and the open sea, from Etihad Towers and Nation Towers at the western end to buildings such as Al Reef Tower, Bel Ghailam Tower, Wave Tower and Saraya One further along. Homes run from studios to large penthouses, many with full height glazing and balconies over the water.
Wind off the Gulf carries salt and fine sand straight onto Corniche facades and balconies. Glass loses its clarity within a week, aluminium frames pit, and balcony drains clog with sand. Upper floors catch strong wind, so sliding doors and their seals wear faster and let dust through. Most Corniche towers supply chilled water to fan coil units in each apartment. Coils, trays and filters are cleaned, drain lines flushed and the thermostat checked, so the unit stops dripping onto ceilings and smelling stale.
Every tower on the Corniche needs a work permit from building management and a booked service lift before work starts. Parking for service vans is limited, so loading times are agreed with the building. These rules are identified at the site visit, and we prepare the paperwork the building asks for.

Questions about light fixing and replacement in Corniche Road
What does light fixing and replacement include?
A failed or unwanted light is taken down, the cable and fixing point are checked, and the new fitting goes up on a proper anchor before the circuit is tested. The work includes circuit isolated at the distribution board and proved dead; old fitting removed and the cable ends inspected for heat damage; new fitting fixed to the slab, a joist or a rated anchor.
Can you fit a light I bought online?
As long as it suits the supply voltage and the room, yes. We look at the weight, the driver and the rating at the site visit. A fitting with no earth terminal or no markings at all is one we will advise against putting up.
Why did my new light stop working after a few weeks?
The usual causes are a driver that overheats in a closed ceiling void, a loose connection behind the fitting, or a dimmer on the circuit that the lamp was never made for. We test each of them before replacing anything.
How much does light fixing and replacement cost in Corniche Road?
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 light fixing and replacement in Corniche Road?
The MELLS provides light fixing and replacement in Corniche Road, Abu Dhabi. 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 light fixing and replacement take?
Typically 1 to 3 hours for a few fittings, longer for whole rooms. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Can a heavy chandelier hang from a gypsum ceiling?
Not from the board itself. The weight has to go to the slab or a joist through a fixing rated for the load, with the gypsum only covering it. We open a small access above the position, set the anchor and close the ceiling around the rose.
Is a permit needed for lighting work in a tower or mall in Corniche Road?
Towers and malls normally ask for a work permit, and a retail unit has to follow the landlord fit out guide. We identify what applies at the site visit and prepare the paperwork the building or the landlord asks for.
Should every light in a room be the same colour?
Within one room, yes. Warm white suits living rooms and bedrooms, and neutral white suits kitchens and work areas. Two whites on one ceiling look patchy, so we read the colour temperature printed on each lamp before it is fitted.
Do you arrange the building permit in Corniche Road?
Yes. Most buildings ask contractors for a work permit, trade licence, insurance and staff IDs, and a service lift booking. We submit all of it for you.
What days do you work on the Corniche?
Corniche appointments run Monday to Saturday between 08:00 and 19:00, subject to the building's own permitted hours for contractors, which we confirm before booking.
How do I choose a company for light fixing and replacement in Corniche Road?
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.
How are visits to Corniche Road arranged?
Visits in Abu Dhabi are booked by appointment between 08:00 and 19:00, Monday to Saturday. Call or send the form and we agree the earliest time a supervisor can come to you.
