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 Al Raha Gardens: what we plan for
Al Raha Gardens is a gated villa community opposite Al Raha Beach, divided into eleven neighbourhoods such as Sidra, Yasmina, Khannour, Samra, Lehweih and Al Tharwaniyah. Homes are family villas and townhouses of three to six bedrooms, most with a private garden, a maid's room and parking at the front. The first houses were handed over around 2009, so many have now been through several tenancies.
The community sits beside a main highway and open land, so fine sand reaches window tracks, roof tops and AC filters after any windy day. Garden irrigation keeps the ground damp along boundary walls, and the hard desalinated water leaves limescale on taps, shower glass and heater elements. Houses of this age carry years of limescale. Shower screens and taps are descaled with a mild acid cleaner and rinsed, grout is scrubbed by hand and the maid's room and laundry are included. Sand is vacuumed from tracks and skirting first, then floors are washed with a pH neutral cleaner.
Each neighbourhood is gated, and the resident registers our crew and vehicle with security before the visit. Exterior changes may need the consent of the master community. That is confirmed at the site visit, and we prepare the paperwork requested.

Questions about developer handover cleaning in Al Raha Gardens
What does developer handover cleaning include?

How much does developer handover cleaning cost in Al Raha Gardens?
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 Al Raha Gardens?
The MELLS provides developer handover cleaning in Al Raha Gardens, 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.
How do your crews get access to Al Raha Gardens?
Each neighbourhood is gated, and the resident registers our crew and vehicle with security before the visit. Exterior changes may need the consent of the master community. That is confirmed at the site visit, and we prepare the paperwork requested.
