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.
- Film removed from frames and glass
- Adhesive traces cleaned off
- Appliance and sanitaryware stickers
- Frames polished
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.
Protective Film Removal in Dubai Media City: what we plan for
Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City and Dubai Knowledge Park are neighbouring free zone business districts on the sea side of Sheikh Zayed Road. Much of the stock is low rise office buildings in landscaped campuses with water features and lawns, joined by office towers such as Arenco Tower, Concord Tower, Shatha Tower and Business Central Towers. Hotels and a small number of residential towers, Hilliana Tower among them, stand along the edges.
The districts sit between Sheikh Zayed Road and the coast. Road dust and exhaust film reach the facades on the inland side, and humid sea air on the other side leaves a salty haze on glass and speeds up corrosion on outdoor AC units and metal fittings. Irrigated lawns add mineral spotting to ground floor glazing.
These are managed free zones. Contractors need a permit from the building or the zone management, with staff details submitted in advance, and there are limits on work in common areas during office hours. The MELLS prepares the paperwork, and the exact rules are confirmed at the site visit.

How long does protective film removal take?

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.
Do you arrange the building permit in Dubai Media City?
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.
Can you clean an office without interrupting the working day?
Yes. The visit is planned around the trading hours of the tenant. Daily tasks are kept short and quiet, and deep cleaning of carpets and upholstery is booked for a Saturday or a slow day so that it is dry before staff return.
How do I choose a company for protective film removal in Dubai Media City?
