What is included
Removal of cement film, grout haze, paint splashes and fine construction dust, so a new or renovated property is ready to live in. Builders' dust is not household dust. It is fine, alkaline and abrasive, it settles for days after the trades leave, and it scratches glass and stone if it is wiped dry. We remove it in the right order, with vacuum extraction first and wet cleaning second, and we treat cement, grout and paint residue with the correct remover for each surface.
- Film removed from frames and glass
- Adhesive traces cleaned off
- Appliance and sanitaryware stickers
- Frames polished
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.

Protective Film Removal in Marina & Breakwater: what we plan for
The Marina sits on the Breakwater, the reclaimed land at the western end of the Corniche beside Marina Mall. Housing here is a small group of waterfront communities: the Fairmont Marina Residences apartments, the Marina Sunset Bay villas and apartment buildings next to the mall, and the gated Royal Marina Villas and Marina Village on Al Kasir, where many homes have private pools.
Open water lies close on most sides of the Breakwater, so salt air reaches every villa garden and balcony. Outdoor furniture, pool fittings and AC condensers corrode early, spray marks glass on the front rows, and humid summer evenings leave mould in shaded corners of terraces.
Royal Marina Villas and Marina Sunset Bay have gated security, so the resident registers the crew ahead. Apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a service lift booking. Exterior changes get checked with the master community at the site visit; we prepare the paperwork.
What your quotation depends on
A quotation for protective film removal in Marina & Breakwater follows a site visit. The supervisor looks at the points listed here and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before any work begins. Once you accept it, nothing is added on the day.
- Size of the property and number of rooms
- Condition, and how long since the last deep clean
- Furnished and occupied, or empty
- Extras such as sofas, carpets, mattresses, external glass or outdoor areas

How long does protective film removal take?
Usually half a day to one day, confirmed with the quotation.
Does dust come back after the clean?
Fine dust keeps settling for a few days as the AC runs. We clean AC grilles during the visit and can schedule a short follow up dusting. For heavy dust we recommend AC duct cleaning before you move in.
Why can a normal cleaning company not do post construction cleaning?
Construction dust contains cement and gypsum fines that scratch glass and etch stone when wiped. It needs vacuum extraction, the right acid or alkaline removers for each residue and trained operators. Household methods spread the dust and damage new finishes.
When should post construction cleaning be booked?
After all trades have finished, snagging is complete and the AC has been commissioned. If trades return after the clean, dust returns with them.

Royal Marina Villas and Marina Sunset Bay have gated security, so the resident registers the crew ahead. Apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a service lift booking. Exterior changes get checked with the master community at the site visit; we prepare the paperwork.
