What is included
In Dubai the ceiling void carries the AC ducts, drain lines and wiring, so most ceiling damage starts with a leak or with a panel cut open for access. We find and stop the cause first, then frame, board, joint and paint so the repair blends with the ceiling around it.
- Suspended gypsum board ceilings on a metal frame
- Bulkheads, coves and drops for lighting and AC grilles
- Gypsum partitions, insulated where sound matters
- Moisture resistant board for kitchens and bathrooms
- Cut out and replacement of water damaged board
- Access panels below AC units, valves and drain lines
- Tile and grid ceilings for offices and shops
- Cornices and decorative mouldings
- Joint taping, skim, sanding and painting
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey and diagnosis. A technician inspects the system or surface, takes readings and photographs, and explains what was found in plain language.
- Written quotation. You receive a written quotation against a defined scope before any work starts. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately.
- Protected, supervised work. The work area is protected and isolated, and the job is carried out by our own technicians under a named supervisor.
- Testing. Every job ends with a measured test suited to the discipline, so the result is a reading and a photograph and not an opinion.
- Report and warranty. The completed report reaches you within the hour. Any failed point is put right free of charge within 48 hours.
Ceiling types and where each one suits
| Ceiling type | Suits | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Plain gypsum board | Living rooms, bedrooms and corridors | Seamless painted finish that needs access panels below AC units |
| Moisture resistant gypsum board | Kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms | Copes with steam and humidity, not with a standing leak |
| Cove or bulkhead ceiling | Lounges, majlis rooms and receptions | Hides LED strip lighting, ducts and curtain tracks |
| Tile and grid ceiling | Offices, clinics and shops | Any tile lifts out to reach the services above |
| Acoustic ceiling | Meeting rooms, home cinemas and restaurants | Absorbs echo in the room but does not block noise between floors |

Questions about gypsum & false ceiling works
What do gypsum & false ceiling works include?
False ceiling and gypsum works for homes, offices and shops: new ceilings, partitions, light coves, access panels and repairs after leaks. The work includes suspended gypsum board ceilings on a metal frame; bulkheads, coves and drops for lighting and AC grilles; gypsum partitions, insulated where sound matters.
How much do gypsum & false ceiling works cost in Dubai?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size and type of the system or surface; present condition and ease of access. 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 gypsum & false ceiling works in Dubai?
The MELLS provides gypsum & false ceiling works 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.
How long do gypsum & false ceiling works take?
Typically quoted per project, typically 1 to 2 days for a repair and 2 to 5 days for a new ceiling in one room. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Why has my ceiling stained or started to sag?
Almost always water: a blocked AC drain line, a leaking pipe or a bathroom above. Gypsum board softens when wet, so we trace and stop the source before any board is replaced.
Can you repair one section, or does the whole ceiling need replacing?
Most damage is repaired locally. We cut back to sound board, fix new board to the frame, tape and skim the joints, then repaint the whole ceiling face so the finish is even.
Do I need approval to change a ceiling?
Some buildings and communities ask for a work permit, particularly where sprinklers, smoke detectors or AC grilles sit in the ceiling. This is checked at the site visit, and we prepare whatever documents they request.
How soon can a new ceiling be painted?
Jointing compound has to dry fully, usually overnight between coats in an air conditioned room. Painting follows once the joints are sanded flat and primed.
Do you carry out false ceiling work in Dubai?
Yes. Our ceiling team covers all of Dubai. At the site visit we measure the room, look above the existing ceiling where we can and check what your building or community requires before work starts.
How do I choose a company for gypsum & false ceiling works in Dubai?
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 (a measured test for every job, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
