What is included
Humid Dubai air meets cold air conditioned walls, ducts and wardrobes, and the condensation feeds mould within weeks, most of all in homes closed up over summer. Mould returns if the moisture remains, so we trace the leak, condensation or ventilation fault first, contain the area, remove the growth and tell you plainly what must be repaired to keep it away.
- Inspection and moisture meter readings to find the source
- Containment of the affected area with sheeting
- HEPA vacuuming of loose growth
- Antifungal wash of walls, ceilings, grout and joinery
- Removal of silicone, paint or plaster that cannot be saved
- Drying of the surface before anything is recoated
- Stain blocking primer and anti mould paint where agreed
- Written note of the cause and the repair that prevents a return
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site visit and written quotation. A supervisor visits, measures and records every room, surface and extra. The written quotation that follows sets out the scope, with no hourly meter and nothing added on the day.
- Protect and prepare. Lifts, floors and furniture are protected and delicate finishes are logged on a surface register before any product is opened.
- Dry before wet, top before bottom. Dust is lifted with HEPA filtered vacuums from ceilings and fittings downwards. Each zone is then wet cleaned with chemistry matched to its finish.
- Detail work and floors. Tracks, switches, skirtings, handles and glass are finished by hand. Floors are machine scrubbed last so nothing is walked back in.
- Inspection and report. The supervisor signs all fourteen checks, photographs the result and sends you the report within the hour.

Kinds of mould we are called to
Colour and place tell us where to look for the cause. They do not identify the species or how harmful it is: only laboratory sampling does, and we can arrange that with an outside laboratory.
The pictures show how each kind typically looks. Your own rooms are photographed before and after the work.

Questions about mould removal & remediation
What does mould removal & remediation include?
Mould removal for villas and apartments that begins by finding the moisture source, then removes the growth and treats the surface behind it. The work includes inspection and moisture meter readings to find the source; containment of the affected area with sheeting; hEPA vacuuming of loose growth.
How much does mould removal & remediation cost in Dubai?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size of the property and number of rooms; condition, and how long since the last deep clean. 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 mould removal & remediation in Dubai?
The MELLS provides mould removal & remediation in 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 58 656 3001.
How long does mould removal & remediation take?
Typically half a day for a single room, and 1 to 3 days where plaster or paint has to dry between stages. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Can I simply paint over mould?
No. Paint hides it for a few weeks while the growth carries on underneath. The surface has to be cleaned, treated and fully dry before a stain blocking primer goes on.
Do we have to move out while the mould is treated?
Rarely. The affected room is sealed off while we work and handed back once it has been dried and aired.
Do you carry out mould removal in Dubai?
Yes, across Dubai. Book a site visit and a supervisor inspects the affected rooms and takes moisture readings before any treatment is proposed.
Will the mould come back after treatment?
It will if the moisture that fed it is still there. That is why we find the leak, condensation or ventilation fault first and put in writing what needs fixing.
Why does mould grow in an air conditioned home?
Humid air condenses on cold surfaces, most often around AC grilles, ducts, external walls and closed wardrobes. Homes shut for the summer with the AC switched off are the most exposed.
How do I choose a company for mould removal & remediation in Dubai?
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 (14 Point Standard signed by the supervisor, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
How do I prepare for mould removal & remediation?
Put away valuables, papers and fragile items from the areas to be worked on and tell us about any delicate finishes. The supervisor confirms anything else at the site visit.
Do I need to provide any products or equipment?
No. Products, tools and machines come with the crew. Any materials the job needs, such as paint or parts, are listed in the written quotation.
What if I am not happy with the result?
Tell the supervisor at handover or call us. Anything that fails our check is put right free of charge within 48 hours.
What the health agencies say
The World Health Organization links persistent dampness and mould indoors to respiratory symptoms, allergies and asthma, and names the control of moisture as the main remedy. The United States Environmental Protection Agency puts it in one line: "The key to mold control is moisture control."
The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says you do not need to know the type of mould to act: remove what you can see or smell and fix the moisture behind it. That is how we work. We are a cleaning and property care company, not a medical service, so anyone with symptoms should speak to a doctor.
