I've had two shelves and a wall cabinet come loose in my townhouse — one pulled a chunk of the wall with it. When I drilled, some spots felt solid and some felt hollow and crumbly…
We just got the keys to a villa. Someone said sort DEWA first, and I've also heard you should check everything in the first week while the landlord will still fix things. Problem…
Every dust and sandstorm spell, the air in the flat feels hazy and the AC filters go grey within weeks. I've been changing them "every three months" like the manual says, but in t…
Our villa in Al Barari has a lot of bespoke joinery — fitted wardrobes, a dressing room, kitchen cabinetry and some panelling. After a few years in all that greenery and humidity…
I asked three companies to service my two split ACs and the quotes were all over the place — one was about 150 dirhams, another close to 500, for what all three described as "a fu…
I can never tell when a handyman is fine versus when I actually need a proper licensed tradesperson in Dubai. For small jobs a handyman is quick and cheap, but I don't want to hav…
We want to look after our Dubai villa on a proper schedule instead of only calling someone when something breaks. Is there a sensible year-round maintenance calendar for a villa h…
We've got Super General ACs in a villa and I want to keep them running well rather than only calling someone when one struggles. It's a common, affordable brand here, so what main…
Our Super General split AC has thrown an error code on the display and I'm not sure how to read it, the online lists I find don't seem to agree, and Super General is a common bran…
I keep getting offered annual home maintenance contracts and I can't tell if they're good value or just a way to lock me in. For a normal villa here, is an annual contract actuall…
We've got Midea split ACs across a property and I want to maintain them properly rather than only calling someone when one fails. What's the realistic routine, how often to do the…
Our Midea split AC threw an error code on the display, one of those letter-plus-number ones (looked like an E or a P code). I googled it and got three different meanings from thre…
Our LG split AC in an older villa flashed a 'CH' code on the indoor unit display and then the cooling dropped off. I can see the code but I've no idea how to read it, some people…
We've got a running list of small jobs, a shelf to mount, a door that sticks, some sealing, a couple of fixtures to swap, and I can't tell whether to get one handyman to blitz the…
I keep having one-off tradespeople for different jobs and it's chaotic and hit-and-miss. I'd rather find one reliable maintenance company to handle the range of home stuff, but I'…
Our villa in The Villa has several separate AC systems for different parts of the house, and it feels like there's always one playing up. With this many units, how do people actua…
I've got a couple of properties and my maintenance is basically reactive, I fix things when a tenant complains, which always seems to cost more and happen at the worst time. I'd l…
Coming to the end of a tenancy and I want to get the deposit back without a fight. I've heard landlords here can be strict about handover condition and AC servicing. What should I…
We're likely to replace at least one AC unit before next summer and the quotes I'm getting are all over the place, which makes me think some are missing things others include. Rat…
Our Al Barsha villa has the original ducted central AC from when it was built, mid-2000s I think, and it's clearly getting on. It still works but I can feel it's not what it was,…
Before the worst of the heat lands, a little AC prep saves a mid-summer breakdown (and a chunk off the DEWA bill). Here is the community shortlist — add yours below. - Clean or re…
