Dubai home maintenance, explained

The questions Dubai residents, owners and landlords ask us most — from response times and pricing to AC, plumbing, electrical and annual maintenance contracts. Tap any question to expand it.

Dubai Repair Assist provides a full range of home maintenance services in Dubai: AC repair and service, plumbing, electrical, painting and decorating, handyman and general maintenance, appliance repair, pest control, cleaning, and annual maintenance contracts (AMC) for apartments, villas and offices. Everything your home needs, coordinated under one team, so you don't have to deal with a different company for each trade. See our services page for what's included in each.

For urgent issues — a major water leak, no power, or a failed AC in peak summer — we aim for same-day attendance across Dubai. The fastest way to arrange it is WhatsApp: send a quick photo of the problem and we'll confirm a time window straight away. Genuine emergencies are always prioritised ahead of routine jobs.

Yes. Our crew works across Dubai apartments, villas, townhouses and offices. The jobs differ — flats often need access coordination and building approvals, while villas involve gardens, water pumps and roof-level ducted AC — but we're set up for both and arrive with the right equipment for each.

We give you an indicative price in chat based on what you describe, then confirm a final quote on site before any work begins. You approve the price first, so there are no surprise add-ons after the job. For larger or planned work — painting, AMC, renovations — we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you're paying for.

An AMC is a yearly plan that covers scheduled checks of your AC, plumbing and electrical systems, plus priority call-outs at discounted rates. It suits villa and apartment owners — and landlords managing Dubai property from abroad — who would rather prevent breakdowns than react to them. We tailor each plan to your property, so you only pay for the cover you actually need. See AMC details →

We cover apartments, villas, townhouses and offices throughout the emirate, including Dubai Marina, JBR, Palm Jumeirah, Downtown, Business Bay, Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, Arabian Ranches, JVC, the Springs and Meadows, Mirdif, Silicon Oasis and many more communities. If you're unsure whether we reach your area, just message us with your location and we'll confirm.

The quickest way is WhatsApp: send a photo and a short description of the problem and we'll confirm the right trade, a visit window and an indicative price. You can also call us on 050 168 5444, or use the form on our Contact page. Either way, you'll get a confirmation before anyone sets off.

We operate seven days a week, generally 07:00–22:00 Monday to Saturday and 08:00–20:00 on Sunday, with on-call cover for public holidays. Emergencies outside these hours may still be possible depending on the trade and your area — message us and we'll let you know what's achievable.

Yes. Our AC services include diagnosis, freon (gas) top-up, split and ducted AC deep cleaning of filters, coils and drain lines, compressor and capacitor repair, and new split-unit installation and repositioning. Regular AC servicing is one of the best-value things you can do for comfort and your DEWA bill in Dubai — a clogged unit works far harder than a clean one.

Yes. Our Dubai plumbers handle leak detection and repair, blocked drain and toilet unblocking, taps, mixers and shower fittings, water heater (geyser) installation and servicing, and pipe replacement and pump servicing. Catching a small leak early prevents costly damage to your walls, ceilings and your neighbours' property — so don't put it off.

We stand behind our repairs and aim to get every job right the first time. If something isn't as it should be after a visit, get in touch and we'll come back and put it right. Full guarantee terms are confirmed with your quote before any work starts, so you know exactly where you stand.

Yes. Dubai Repair Assist operates alongside European Technical, a Dubai home-maintenance and technical-services company, sharing standards, training and resources to deliver a consistent level of service across the city. You can visit the main website at europeantechnical.ae.
