What is included
False ceiling and gypsum works for homes, offices and shops: new ceilings, partitions, light coves, access panels and repairs after leaks. In Abu Dhabi 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.
- Design set out on the ceiling for approval before framing
- Cove depth sized for the LED profile and driver access
- Metal edge beads for straight lines
- LED strip and driver wiring coordinated with our electricians
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.
Cove and Bulkhead Ceilings in Reflection: what we plan for
One of the residential towers in Shams Abu Dhabi, close to the water and the island's parks and promenades. In an apartment building we submit the work permit, book the service lift and bring compact equipment that fits it.
Many towers here run on chilled water, so the work is on the fan coil units, drain trays and ducts inside the apartment rather than on outdoor units.
Every tower here needs a work permit from building management and a booking for the service lift, and some limit noisy work to set hours. We confirm these at the site visit and prepare the documents the building asks for.

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.

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.
