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 Saadiyat Island: what we plan for
Saadiyat Island mixes very different homes within a short drive. Saadiyat Beach Villas and Jawaher sit by the golf course, Saadiyat Lagoons and Saadiyat Reserve are newer villa communities further inland, and the beach side has apartment buildings such as Mamsha Al Saadiyat, Saadiyat Beach Residences and the St Regis Residences. Soho Square and Park View are apartment buildings near the Cultural District.
Along the north shore the wind brings salt and fine beach sand onto every terrace. Inland, golf and garden irrigation keeps humidity up around the villas, and open plots still being built on send dust across the newer communities on windy afternoons. Salt is rinsed off glass, frames and balustrades with clean water before any squeegee touches them, otherwise the grit scratches. Sand is lifted from sliding door tracks with a wet vacuum. Marble and limestone floors get a pH neutral cleaner, and outdoor kitchens and pool decks are scoped as separate areas.
Saadiyat villa communities are gated, so the resident registers our crew with security first. Apartment buildings ask for a work permit and a service lift booking. Anything on the exterior needs the master community's approval; we identify this at the site visit and prepare the paperwork asked for.

Questions about developer handover cleaning in Saadiyat Island
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 Saadiyat Island?
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 Saadiyat Island?
The MELLS provides developer handover cleaning in Saadiyat Island, 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.
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.
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.
How do your crews get access to Saadiyat Island?
Saadiyat villa communities are gated, so the resident registers our crew with security first. Apartment buildings ask for a work permit and a service lift booking. Anything on the exterior needs the master community's approval; we identify this at the site visit and prepare the paperwork asked for.
Can you clean a newly handed over villa in Saadiyat Lagoons before we move in?
Yes. A first clean after handover removes construction dust from cupboards, AC grilles and window tracks, and we note any snags we see so you can raise them with the developer.
How do I choose a company for developer handover cleaning in Saadiyat Island?
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 Saadiyat Island 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.
