Damp Wall Treatment in Dubai

Damp walls are treated by finding where the water comes from, removing salt damaged plaster, letting the wall dry and rebuilding it with materials that tolerate moisture. The work includes moisture meter readings taken to map the damp area; blistered paint and soft, salty plaster hacked off; wall left to dry, then the salt bloom brushed away dry.

Sealing alone rarely lasts. If water is still entering, a waterproof paint holds it in the wall until the pressure lifts the coating, often higher than before. The source has to be stopped first, whether it is a pipe, irrigation or waterproofing, and then the wall repaired.

That depends on thickness and how wet it was. A thin plaster patch can be ready in a few days with good air movement, while a soaked block wall may need weeks. We go by meter readings, not the calendar, and repaint once they have fallen and stayed down.

We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: wall and ceiling area and ceiling height; condition of the surface and how much repair is needed. 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.

The MELLS provides damp wall treatment 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 55 444 0084.

Usually one to three days, confirmed with the quotation.

A primer or sealer where the surface needs it, then two finish coats. Strong colour changes may need a third coat, which is stated in the quotation.

We apply the paint system named in your quotation. Most clients choose premium washable emulsions from the major brands stocked in Dubai, and we are happy to work with paints specified by your designer.

Furniture is moved to the centre of the room and wrapped. Floors are covered edge to edge, and fittings are masked or removed. The crew cleans down every day.

Yes. Cracks are opened, filled and sanded, and damp or salt affected plaster is treated and sealed first. Painting over a defect only hides it for a few months.

Water based emulsion is touch dry in about an hour and can be recoated in around four hours. It reaches full hardness over two to four weeks, so avoid scrubbing new walls in that time.

No. We work room by room with low odour water based paints, and bedrooms are usable again the same night.

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 (wet film thickness checked on every coat and an adhesion test at handover) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.

Remove pictures, small items and valuables from the rooms. Floors and furniture are covered by the crew, and larger pieces are moved where the scope says so.

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.

Tell the supervisor at handover or call us. Anything that fails our check is put right free of charge within 48 hours.
