Mold remediation cost for Dubai villa wardrobe?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description of the mold in your Jumeirah villa, this is a serious case that requires professional intervention. The recurrence after a DIY vinegar treatment indicates an active colony with a moisture source, likely the high humidity we experience in Dubai combined with potential condensation from your AC unit or a minor leak in the exterior wall. The concern about spread behind the plasterboard is valid.

For a proper remediation, the process is technical. The affected wardrobe and likely a section of the gypsum board must be isolated with containment barriers to prevent cross-contamination. Air scrubbers with HEPA filtration are used to clean the air, and the mold must be removed, not just killed. All affected porous materials, including the backing plasterboard, will need to be safely removed and disposed of. The area will then be professionally treated with EPA-approved biocides, followed by sealing and hygienization. Finally, the root cause—be it a leak, thermal bridging, or excessive humidity—must be identified and rectified to prevent recurrence.

For a job of this scale, including containment, removal of built-in wardrobes and wall sections, and remediation, you should expect a realistic price range between AED 4,000 and AED 9,000. The final cost is dependent on the extent of the contamination once the wall is opened. This is not a surface cleaning task.
