A three-bedroom villa interior typically takes four to six working days including preparation and drying time. A full villa inside and out is usually eight to fourteen days depending on the extent of preparation required.
Yes, in most cases. We work room by room, contain dust, and can use low-odor, low-VOC paints so occupied rooms remain comfortable. For a full property repaint, vacating for a few days will always produce a faster and cleaner result.
Two full finish coats over the appropriate primer as standard. Strong color changes, previously stained surfaces or bare plaster may require an additional coat, which we identify and price at the quotation stage rather than afterwards.
Yes. Cracks are raked out rather than skimmed over, defective plaster is cut back to a sound edge and made good, and every filled area is sanded flush before priming.
Principally Jotun, Dulux and National Paints, selected to suit the substrate and exposure. We are happy to work with a specific brand or color system if you have one specified.
Yes. Exterior work uses weather-resistant and elastomeric systems appropriate to UAE sun and humidity, with render repairs and crack treatment carried out before coating.
Yes. Scratches and etch marks are surface-level damage in the top layer of the stone. Diamond grinding removes that layer entirely and the subsequent honing and polishing stages restore the finish. In most cases the result is indistinguishable from new.
Roughly 60 to 100 square meters per day depending on the condition of the stone and the number of stages required. We can phase the work room by room so the property remains usable throughout.
It is a wet process, but it is contained. We seal off adjoining areas, manage the slurry, extract as we go and clean thoroughly on completion. Occupied properties are phased so you always have usable rooms.
Polishing uses diamond abrasives and powders to refine the stone surface mechanically. Crystallization applies a chemical treatment under a weighted machine to create a harder, highly reflective surface layer. We advise which suits your stone and the level of traffic it takes.
Yes. Grout can be deep cleaned, color sealed to a uniform shade, or raked out and replaced with new cement or epoxy grout while leaving the existing tiles in place.
Always. A penetrating sealer is applied on completion of every restoration, and we give you written guidance on which cleaning products will preserve it and which will strip it.
In most cases, yes. Hinges, runners, rails, handles and individual doors or panels can all be replaced while retaining the carcass. We will tell you honestly when a carcass has degraded to the point where repair is no longer economic.
Timber and board absorb moisture from humid air and expand, while air-conditioned interiors are far drier. Doors that were fitted with minimal clearance in cooler months bind when the humidity rises. We ease and rehang them with the correct seasonal allowance.
Yes. We design, fabricate and install bespoke wardrobes, walk-in closets, TV units, study units and storage, made to your measurements and finished to match the existing joinery.
Solid timber, MDF, plywood, laminate, veneer and moisture-resistant board. We specify the material to the location and explain the trade-offs rather than defaulting to the cheapest option.
Yes: pergolas, decking, gates, screens and cladding. External timber in the UAE needs the right species, the right fixings and a maintainable finish, and we specify all three at the quotation stage.
Typically two to four weeks from approved drawing to installation, depending on size, finish and material availability. Repairs and adjustments are usually completed in a single visit.
Yes. Scratches and etch marks sit in the top layer of the stone, and diamond grinding removes that layer entirely. In most cases the restored floor is indistinguishable from new.

In a family home, three to five years before the next refresh, longer if it is sealed and cleaned correctly. Commercial lobbies need more frequent attention.

Yes. Grout cleaning, color sealing or full re-grouting and the lifting and re-fixing of hollow tiles are all done alongside the stone restoration, which avoids a second contractor and a second mobilization.

Principally Jotun, Dulux and National Paints, selected for the substrate and exposure. We are happy to work to a brand or color system you have already specified.
Yes. Cracks are raked out rather than skimmed over, defective plaster is cut back to a sound edge, and every filled area is sanded flush before priming.
Interior painting starts from AED 349 per room and exterior work from AED 1,499, with the final figure depending on area, height, condition and the extent of preparation. You receive a fixed written quotation.
