Post-renovation cleaning

Post-renovation cleaning in the United Arab Emirates

Updated 4 November 2026

Post-renovation cleaning in the UAE costs about AED 350 to AED 1,500 for an apartment, and more for a villa or a flat with heavy dust. Some providers start from about AED 100 for a basic scope. For a price for your own flat, describe its size and condition in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Trade licence and approvals

Cleaning companies in Dubai need a trade licence, which published estimates put at about AED 12,000 to 15,000 a year, and an approval from Dubai Municipality for the work. Ask the company for its trade licence number before you pay a deposit, and check that the name on the licence is the company that sends the team.

Season and timing

The UAE has a desert climate, with very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. Booking now, in the mild season, means you can ventilate the flat during the clean and have the work finished before the summer heat. In the hottest months, long opening of windows is less comfortable, so plan the date with that in mind.

How the price is set

Post-renovation cleaning is priced by scope and condition, not only by square metres. The main cost drivers are the size of the property, the amount of dust and paint marks, windows and high glass, and whether waste removal is included. Multi-day jobs and villas cost more. Post-renovation work is often charged at a higher hourly rate than a normal clean, so ask for a price per job in AED and give the area in m².

What to write in your request

State the area in m², the type of premises (flat, villa or office), the level of dirt, and whether there are windows or high glass to clean. Say if you need waste removal, the address or area in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain, the date you want the work done, and your budget in AED. List any extras, such as balconies or the inside of cupboards.
