Our service
What does our renovation service in Dubai include?
Mek-Madin Fitout provides renovation services across Dubai for apartments, villas, townhouses, offices and shops. Typical work includes kitchen refits; bathroom refits; and layout changes and non-structural wall removal. Call or WhatsApp +971 52 884 8916, Saturday to Thursday from 8am to 2am. Every job is quoted before work starts.
We handle villa and apartment renovation in Dubai, from a single bathroom refit to a full strip-out and rebuild. That includes kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, ceilings, lighting layouts, built-in joinery and repainting, planned as one project instead of separate jobs.
Renovation in Dubai is as much about approvals and logistics as it is about building. Towers have rules on working hours, noise, debris and lift use. Villa communities often need the master developer's approval before work starts, and some changes need a Dubai Municipality or Trakhees permit. We help you understand what applies to your property and prepare the drawings and details the approvals usually ask for.

Problems we fix
When is it time to renovate rather than repair?
The most common signs: repairs keep coming back; the layout no longer works; you have bought an older property; you are preparing to rent or sell; finishes are worn throughout.
Repairs keep coming back
If the same bathroom leaks, cracks or grows mould every year, the problem is usually underneath the finish. A refit lets us fix the base layers properly.
The layout no longer works
A closed kitchen, a wasted corridor or a maid's room you do not use. Changing the layout can make a home feel much larger without adding space.
You have bought an older property
Older villas in areas like Jumeirah, Mirdif and The Springs often have original kitchens, pipework and electrics. Renovating before you move in avoids living on a building site.
You are preparing to rent or sell
Updated kitchens and bathrooms are what buyers and tenants look at first. A focused refit can make a dated property more attractive.
Finishes are worn throughout
When floors, cabinets, doors and paint are all tired, doing them together usually costs less disruption than one room at a time.

How to book
How does our renovation service work?
It runs in 5 steps: Site visit and brief, design and quote, approvals, build in stages, snagging and handover.
Site visit and brief
We visit, measure and talk through what you want to change, what stays and how you use the space. We also check what your building or community allows.
Design and quote
We put together a layout, a materials list and a detailed quote broken down by trade. You can adjust scope before anything is agreed.
Approvals
We help prepare the drawings and information that building management, the master developer or the authority usually asks for. Work starts once you have the approvals you need.
Build in stages
Strip-out, first-fix plumbing and electrics, waterproofing, ceilings, tiling, joinery, then painting. You get regular updates and site photos.
Snagging and handover
We walk through every room with you, list any snags and fix them before final handover.
Pricing
What affects the price of renovation work in Dubai?
There is no fixed price list: every job is quoted after we understand it. These 6 factors move the number up or down.
Send photos on WhatsApp for a quick estimate, or call to book a site visit.
- Size of the property and number of rooms being renovated
- Whether layout changes or plumbing relocation are involved
- Choice of materials, fixtures and appliances
- Approval requirements from building management, developers or authorities
- Condition found after strip-out, such as old pipes or damaged screed
- Working hour restrictions that affect how long the job takes
For every property type
How does renovation work differ by property type?
Apartment renovations focus on kitchens, bathrooms and flooring within a fixed footprint. Villas allow bigger changes: opening up ground floors, adding storage, converting rooms or refitting outdoor kitchens. Commercial refits often run to a tight deadline before a lease starts.
What should you plan for when renovating in Dubai?
Approvals come first. Most towers need a no-objection certificate from building management before any interior work, and many ask for contractor details, insurance and a security deposit. Villa communities managed by developers such as Emaar, Nakheel, Dubai Properties or DAMAC have their own modification rules, especially for anything visible from outside. Structural changes and extensions usually need a permit from Dubai Municipality, or Trakhees in some areas. Rules change, so always check with your management or master developer for the current process.
Climate shapes material choices. Bathrooms and kitchens need proper waterproofing under tiles, because humidity and daily use find every weak point. Exterior-facing walls get very hot, so insulation, glazing and AC positions matter in any layout change. Fine dust gets everywhere during strip-out, so we seal off rooms and protect AC returns.
Timing affects the build too. Summer heat limits outdoor work in villas during the hottest part of the day. Some towers restrict noisy work on certain days or hours. Planning the noisy stages early in the project keeps the schedule on track.
Apartments
Apartment renovations focus on kitchens, bathrooms and flooring within a fixed footprint. Shared walls, risers and fire systems limit what can move, so we confirm those early with building management.
Villas & townhouses
Villas allow bigger changes: opening up ground floors, adding storage, converting rooms or refitting outdoor kitchens. Community approvals and permits usually take longer, so we plan for them from the start.
Offices & shops
Commercial refits often run to a tight deadline before a lease starts. We plan trades to work in parallel where possible and can work outside business hours where the building allows.

FAQs
Renovation Services: common questions
Do I need approval to renovate my apartment in Dubai?
In most towers, yes. Building management usually asks for a no-objection certificate before work starts, even for kitchens and bathrooms. Requirements vary by building. Our guide on villa renovation permits in Dubai explains the process for villas, and the same approach of asking management first applies to apartments.
Can I live in the property during renovation?
For a single bathroom or kitchen, many people stay. For a full refit, it is usually easier to move out, because dust, noise and water or power shut-offs make daily life hard. We can stage work room by room if you need to stay, though it takes longer.
Can you remove a wall to open up my kitchen?
Non-structural partition walls can often come out with building or community approval. Load-bearing walls need an engineer's assessment and a permit. We check which type of wall it is before planning. For the strip-out itself, our demolition services handle removal safely.
Who coordinates the different trades?
We do. One project lead plans plumbing, electrics, waterproofing, tiling, carpentry and painting in the right order. You have one point of contact instead of chasing several contractors. If something found during strip-out changes the plan, such as old pipes or damaged screed, we explain it and agree any changes with you before going ahead.
Can I renovate just my bathroom?
Yes. A bathroom refit usually includes removing old tiles and fixtures, re-piping where needed, new waterproofing, floor and wall tiling, sanitaryware and a fresh ceiling. It is one of the most common jobs we do. Water is usually tested over the new waterproofing before tiling, so problems show up early.
How do I get started?
Call or WhatsApp +971 52 884 8916 with photos and a short description of what you want to change. We arrange a site visit to measure and discuss the scope, then send a detailed quote. If you already have drawings, a mood board or approvals from your building, bring those too. They help us price the work accurately.
