What is included
Interior and exterior glass, frames and tracks, with hard water spotting removed rather than smeared. Dubai glass suffers from three things: dust, salt and the mineral spots left by irrigation and desalinated water. We wash with purified water, remove mineral deposits with the correct polish and clear the tracks so doors slide properly again.
- Film type and glass checked, including any low E coating underneath
- Film steamed and peeled back slowly in sheets, not in strips
- Glue layer softened and lifted, scraper used only on plain glass
- Glass cleaned and polished, ready for new film or left clear
How we carry out window film and tint removal
Film fails in a recognisable way here. Years of direct sun break down the dyes and the adhesive, so the film bubbles, goes cloudy, peels at the edges or turns purple. Removing it is slow work. Steam or gentle heat softens the adhesive so the film comes away in large sheets; pulled cold, it tears into small pieces and leaves most of the glue on the glass. Frames, blinds and the floor below are covered first, since the steam and the remover would otherwise mark them.
The glue layer is the larger part of the job. On plain uncoated glass it is softened and taken off with a new blade held flat. On low E, coated or tinted panes no blade is used: the adhesive is softened again and worked off with nylon pads and an adhesive remover that has been tried on the frame and the seals first. The glass is then cleaned and polished. Some towers have rules on tint and facade appearance; these are identified at the site visit and The MELLS prepares the paperwork the building asks for.
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.
Window Film and Tint Removal in Deema, The Lakes: what we plan for
The Lakes is a lakeside community of villas and townhouses arranged in small gated clusters. In a villa this can be booked on its own or added to a full deep clean or repaint, which saves a second visit.
Golf course and lakeside irrigation keeps ground level humidity higher than the city average, and sprinkler overspray marks boundary walls and glass with mineral deposits. Mature gardens add leaf litter and pollen, and many homes have large areas of natural stone that need the right chemistry.
Entry is through security gates and contractors are registered in advance by the resident. Exterior work normally needs approval from community management, and working hours are restricted to protect residents.
What your quotation depends on
A quotation for window film and tint removal in Deema, The Lakes follows a site visit. The supervisor looks at the points listed here and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before any work begins. Once you accept it, nothing is added on the day.
- Size of the property and number of rooms
- Condition, and how long since the last deep clean
- Furnished and occupied, or empty

Questions about window film and tint removal in Deema, The Lakes
What does window film and tint removal include?
Solar, privacy, frosted and safety films that have bubbled, peeled or turned purple in the Dubai sun, steamed off in sheets with the glue layer removed and the glass left clear. The work includes film type and glass checked, including any low E coating underneath; film steamed and peeled back slowly in sheets, not in strips; glue layer softened and lifted, scraper used only on plain glass.
Can you fit new window film after removing the old one?
Fitting new film is not part of this service unless it has been arranged in advance. What we leave is clean, polished glass with no adhesive on it, which is what a film installer needs to work on.
Why is old window film harder to remove?
Film that has baked in the Dubai sun for years turns brittle, tears in small pieces and leaves more glue on the glass, so it takes longer than newer film. The time needed is set out in the written quotation after the site visit.
How much does window film and tint removal cost in Deema, The Lakes?
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.
