After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange greenish growth on the ceiling of my master bedroom. It’s not too large yet, maybe about a square foot or so, but it smells musty and makes me worry about potential health issues for my family. How much can mold remediation typically cost in Dubai, and should I hire professionals or try to handle this myself?

In the UAE, particularly within Dubai, mold remediation costs can vary significantly based on several factors. These include the extent of the mold infestation, the type and quantity of materials affected, the specific species of mold present, and the services required to ensure a thorough clean-up and prevention measures.
Generally speaking, small-scale mold issues like the one you described in your master bedroom might not warrant professional remediation initially if it's contained. However, given that the growth is greenish and smells musty, it’s wise to get a professional inspection first before deciding on further action. The cost for this initial assessment could range from AED 300 to AED 1,500 depending on the size of your home and the scope of the work needed. For larger or more complex mold remediation projects, costs can escalate quickly. According to local industry standards, a full-scale mold remediation project might start at around AED 7,000 for homes up to 100 square meters and could go upwards depending on size, extent of contamination, and additional services such as air purification or structural repairs. Professional companies in Dubai often charge per square meter or by the hour. For instance, a company like Saniservice (hello@saniservice.com) might quote you AED 25 to AED 30 per square meter for mold remediation work. This includes not just cleaning but also addressing underlying moisture issues that may have caused the growth. It's crucial to hire licensed and certified professionals who adhere to UAE regulations such as those set by the Dubai Municipality. They must follow strict protocols to ensure safe handling, disposal of contaminated materials, and proper treatment of surfaces to prevent re-infestation. In your case, given the size and nature of the mold, it might be prudent to schedule a professional inspection. This could help you understand if the issue is confined or spread beyond what's visible, and whether immediate action is necessary. Remember, tackling mold issues early can save you from more extensive damage down the line, so don't delay in seeking advice.
