Is AED 2,500 reasonable for bedroom mold removal in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
The wall behind our wardrobe in the master bedroom has a large patch of black mold, which we only noticed when moving furniture. It's been humid lately and I'm worried it's spread inside the wall. I got one quote for remediation and repainting that was AED 2,500, which seems high.
Is this a reasonable price for a mold removal job in a Dubai bedroom, or should I get more quotes?

That quote is within the expected range for a professional remediation job in Dubai, but whether it's reasonable depends entirely on the scope of work. A large patch behind furniture often indicates a more serious moisture issue within the wall cavity, which requires proper investigation.
The high humidity and constant AC use here create ideal conditions for hidden mold growth. Remediation isn't just wiping the surface; it involves containment to prevent spores spreading, removing affected materials, treating the area with antimicrobial solutions, and addressing the root cause of moisture—often condensation from AC cold bridges or a hidden leak. Repainting with mold-resistant paint is a necessary final step. For a proper assessment, the company should use a moisture meter to check the wall's internal humidity and potentially a borescope to inspect inside. Without this diagnostic step, you risk a recurring problem. The quote should clearly itemize these processes: containment, removal, antimicrobial treatment, and repainting. It is always advisable to get at least two more detailed quotes. Reputable providers will include a post-remediation verification, sometimes with surface sampling, to confirm the mold has been effectively removed. This verification is a key differentiator for a professional job. |
