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.
- Crews sized to the handover programme
- Unit by unit checklist and sign off
- Common areas included
- Daily progress reporting
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.

Developer Handover Cleaning 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. Sea view apartments collect most of their grime on glass and balconies, so the crew starts outside: floors are swept and wet vacuumed, salt is rinsed from glass and frames, and the inside of the glass is done last. Limescale from hard desalinated water in kitchens and bathrooms is treated with a descaler suited to the surface.
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 developer handover cleaning in Corniche Road
What does developer handover cleaning include?
Handover cleaning for developers and contractors across multiple units, delivered to programme with unit by unit sign off. The work includes crews sized to the handover programme; unit by unit checklist and sign off; common areas included.
How much does developer handover cleaning cost in Corniche Road?
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 developer handover cleaning in Corniche Road?
The MELLS provides developer handover cleaning 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 58 656 3001.
How long does developer handover cleaning take?
Typically agreed at the site visit and planned around your trading hours. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Do you remove paint and cement from glass and tiles?
Yes. Paint splashes, cement film, grout haze, silicone and adhesive are removed with blades, pads and removers selected for the surface so nothing is scratched or etched.
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.
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.
How often should a sea facing apartment be cleaned?
Balcony glass and frames on the Corniche benefit from a rinse and clean every few weeks. A full deep clean every few months stops salt and sand building up in tracks and seals.
How do I choose a company for developer handover cleaning 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 (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 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.
