What's the cost to remove black mould professionally?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing non-stop for a couple of weeks and I’ve just found a patch of black mould behind the wardrobe in their bedroom in our Discovery Gardens apartment. It’s been so humid lately and I’m terrified it’s making them sick. What’s the typical cost for a professional to properly remove this and make the room safe again?

Based on your description, this is a serious situation that requires immediate professional attention. Black mould, especially in a child's bedroom with ongoing health symptoms, is a significant health hazard that DIY methods cannot properly address.
The cost for professional mould remediation in a Dubai apartment like Discovery Gardens can vary significantly based on the extent of the contamination. For a localized patch behind a wardrobe, you might be looking at a range from AED 1,500 to AED 4,000+. However, this is a very rough estimate. The final cost is determined by the square footage affected, the type of surfaces involved, and whether the mould has penetrated the drywall or structure. The high humidity we experience means the problem is often worse than it initially appears. Crucially, remediation is not just about removal. A proper job includes containment to prevent spores from spreading, professional-grade antimicrobial treatment, and most importantly, identifying and rectifying the source of the moisture to prevent it from returning. We must follow strict UAE health and environmental guidelines for disposal and treatment. Given your children's health, a certified inspection is non-negotiable. They will conduct air quality tests to see what spores are circulating and provide a precise scope of work and quotation. Please do not attempt to clean this yourself, as it can aerosolize the toxins and make the problem much worse. For an immediate assessment and accurate quote, I strongly advise you to call our certified team at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.
