What is included
Wallpaper fixing for homes, offices and shops, with walls prepared, patterns matched and seams closed by our own decorators. Wallpaper fails in Abu Dhabi when it is hung on dusty, unprimed or damp walls, or when the AC is off for the summer and humidity lifts the seams. We check the wall for moisture, repair and prime it, then hang the paper with the adhesive its manufacturer specifies.
- Covering checked to tell real silk from silk effect vinyl
- Surface dust lifted with a soft brush and low suction vacuum
- Dry sponge used lightly on marks, working with the weave
- Water stains and fading recorded with photographs, not scrubbed
How we carry out silk wallpaper cleaning
Real silk wall coverings appear in majlis rooms, dining rooms and master suites in many of the larger villas, and they need a different approach from ordinary paper. Silk takes up water and the dirt with it, leaving a tide ring as it dries. Rubbing crushes the fibres and leaves a shiny patch that catches the light. Silk effect vinyl looks similar and is far tougher, so the first step is to find out which is on the wall, from the documents, a spare roll or a careful look at the edge of a seam.
On real silk the work is dry. A vacuum on low suction with a soft brush head, held just off the surface, lifts dust and sand that settle along the weave, and a soft goat hair brush works into the corners. Light marks are treated with a dry sponge, pressing rather than rubbing and following the direction of the weave. Water stains, sun fading and grease from hands are photographed and discussed with you, since attempts to remove them on silk tend to spread the mark. Silk effect vinyl is cleaned as vinyl.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey, colour and written scope. We measure, test the existing coating and agree colours, sheen and the number of coats. The written quotation names the paint system and the scope.
- Protection. Furniture is moved and wrapped, floors are covered edge to edge, and switches, handles and light fittings are masked or removed.
- Surface preparation. Walls are washed, flaking paint is scraped back, cracks are opened and filled, and everything is sanded flat. Damp or salt affected areas are treated before any paint goes on.
- Primer and finish coats. A sealer or primer suited to the substrate is followed by two finish coats. Wet film thickness is checked on every coat.
- Snagging and handover. We inspect in daylight with you, touch up, clean down and hand over a paint schedule listing brand, colour codes and batch numbers for future touch ups.

Silk Wallpaper Cleaning in Al Karama Complex: what we plan for
Mid rise apartment buildings in Al Karamah with one to three bedroom flats, run by building management with set hours for contractors. In an apartment building we submit the work permit, book the service lift and bring compact equipment that fits it.
Many Karamah villas have been extended over the years, and the joints between old and new walls tend to crack. The crack is opened, filled with a flexible filler, primed and repainted so the line does not telegraph through. Steel doors and window grilles are sanded and given a rust inhibiting primer.
Gated villa compounds register contractors with security in advance through the resident. Apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a booked service lift. Where exterior work may need an approval, this is identified at the site visit and we prepare the paperwork asked for.

Questions about silk wallpaper cleaning in Al Karama Complex
What does silk wallpaper cleaning include?
Silk and silk effect wall coverings cleaned dry, with soft brushes and low suction, because water and rubbing leave rings and shine that do not come out of the fibre. The work includes covering checked to tell real silk from silk effect vinyl; surface dust lifted with a soft brush and low suction vacuum; dry sponge used lightly on marks, working with the weave.
Can a water mark be removed from silk wallpaper?
Rarely without risk. Putting more water on the area tends to push the ring further out. We record the stain, explain the options, which may include replacing a panel from a spare roll, and leave it untouched unless you decide otherwise.
How do I know if my wallpaper is real silk?
Real silk has a fine, slightly uneven weave you can see close up, and the threads may fray at a cut edge. Silk effect vinyl has a printed or embossed texture with a plastic feel. Our supervisor confirms it at the site visit before any cleaning.
How much does silk wallpaper cleaning cost in Al Karama Complex, Al Karamah?
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.

Yes. Our decorators hang wallpaper in villas, apartments, offices and shops across Abu Dhabi. Book a site visit and we measure the walls and check their condition first.
Can wallpaper go over a painted wall?
