About Domus Services

One Call. Every Trade. One Standard.

Managing a property in Dubai means dealing with maintenance issues that span multiple trades. The AC fails in the same week a pipe leaks and a circuit breaker trips. Finding three separate contractors, coordinating three site visits, and chasing three different invoices is the reality most Dubai residents and property managers experience.

Domus Services exists to eliminate that. We provide AC, electrical, plumbing, painting, carpentry, and handyman services under a single operation — with one point of contact, one transparent quote, and one team accountable for the outcome. Whether it is a routine maintenance visit or an urgent repair, the same standard applies.

We work across residential villas, managed apartments, serviced residences, holiday homes, and commercial properties throughout Dubai. Our clients include individual homeowners in Emirates Hills, property managers overseeing buildings in Business Bay, and holiday home operators managing multiple units across JBR and Dubai Marina.

Expert Insight

What General Maintenance Actually Means in Dubai

General maintenance in Dubai refers to the ongoing repair, servicing, and upkeep of a residential or commercial property across all of its technical and structural systems. In Dubai's climate — extreme heat, sand infiltration, high AC usage, and rapid material fatigue — general maintenance is not optional. It is a continuous operational requirement for any property that is occupied, rented, or managed.

The most common maintenance needs across Dubai properties include:

  • ❄️
    AC System ServicingDubai's continuous AC operation — often twelve or more hours per day — accelerates coil fouling, refrigerant loss, and compressor wear. Annual or biannual servicing is the standard minimum.
  • 💧
    Plumbing & Water System UpkeepHard water mineral deposits, pipe corrosion from temperature cycling, and high-use bathroom fixtures all require regular attention in Dubai's residential stock.
  • Electrical System MaintenanceDEWA regulations require that electrical installations in Dubai properties remain in compliant condition. Aging wiring, overloaded circuits, and faulty distribution boards are common issues in older villas and apartments.
  • 🪵
    Woodwork & Joinery RepairsHumidity fluctuations and AC cycling cause wood expansion and contraction. Warped doors, swollen cabinet frames, and cracked veneers are consistent maintenance requirements in Dubai properties.
  • 🎨
    Interior Painting & Surface RestorationPaint deterioration in Dubai is accelerated by UV exposure and indoor humidity. Most Dubai properties benefit from repainting every three to five years as a routine maintenance task.

Annual Maintenance Contracts

Predictable Maintenance. Fixed Costs. No Surprises.

An Annual Maintenance Contract with Domus Services covers all scheduled preventive maintenance visits across your property's key systems — AC, electrical, plumbing, and general upkeep — for a fixed annual cost. For landlords, property managers, and homeowners who want reliable maintenance without the unpredictability of reactive repairs, an AMC is the most cost-effective structure.

Scheduled Visits
Regular preventive maintenance visits throughout the year — timed to pre-empt the most common seasonal failure points.
Priority Response
AMC clients receive priority scheduling for reactive repairs — ahead of standard booking requests during peak periods.
Fixed Annual Cost
No variable call-out charges for scheduled visits. Predictable maintenance budgeting for the full year.
Service Reports
Written service reports after every visit — useful for landlords, property managers, and Ejari documentation purposes.
Multi-Property Coverage
AMC contracts available for individual properties or across a portfolio — ideal for property management companies.
Reduced Repair Costs
Preventive maintenance reduces the frequency and severity of reactive repairs — typically saving more than the contract cost.

Common Questions

General Maintenance Dubai — FAQs

General maintenance in Dubai typically covers all the trades required to keep a property in functional and presentable condition. This includes AC servicing and repair, electrical fault rectification, plumbing repairs, painting, carpentry, and handyman tasks such as furniture assembly, fixture fitting, and minor structural repairs. In Dubai's climate, the highest-frequency maintenance needs are AC servicing (due to continuous operation), plumbing maintenance (due to hard water and temperature stress on pipes), and carpentry repairs (due to humidity causing wood movement). A comprehensive general maintenance service handles all of these through a single provider.
Maintenance costs in Dubai vary significantly by trade and scope. A basic handyman visit for minor tasks typically ranges from AED 150 to AED 400. AC service for a single split unit is generally AED 150 to AED 350. Electrical fault diagnosis and minor repair is typically AED 200 to AED 500. Plumbing repairs range from AED 200 for simple tap replacements to AED 1,500 or more for significant pipe work. Painting a standard two-bedroom apartment interior ranges from AED 2,500 to AED 5,000 depending on condition and finish. Domus Services provides a free written quote for every job after assessing the property — so you have a fixed price before any work begins.
An Annual Maintenance Contract in Dubai is a structured agreement between a property owner or manager and a maintenance company covering all scheduled preventive maintenance visits across a defined period — typically twelve months. The contract specifies the trades covered, the number of scheduled visits, what is included in each visit, response time commitments for reactive repairs between visits, and the fixed annual cost. For landlords and property managers in Dubai, an AMC is often required by Ejari regulations and building management companies. For individual villa owners, it provides predictable budgeting and priority access to tradespeople during peak periods such as summer.
A Dubai villa benefits from at minimum a biannual maintenance visit — once before the summer season begins in April and once after the peak heat period in October. During the summer visit, the priority is AC servicing, electrical load testing, and checking plumbing connections that may have been stressed by the temperature increase. The post-summer visit focuses on any issues that developed during the high-demand period. For larger villas with multiple AC systems, extensive joinery, or swimming pools, quarterly visits are recommended. Villa maintenance contracts from Domus Services can be structured around any schedule that suits the property's needs.
Yes. A significant portion of our work is with landlords and property management companies across Dubai who need a reliable single-source maintenance provider for their managed properties. We provide service reports after every visit, coordinate directly with tenants when required, and maintain documentation suitable for Ejari and building management requirements. For landlords managing multiple units, we offer portfolio maintenance contracts that simplify the administration of property upkeep and provide preferential scheduling.
Yes. Holiday home maintenance is a specific area we support — and it has different requirements from standard residential maintenance. Short-term rental properties need fast turnaround between bookings, reliable emergency response when guests are in-property, and a consistently guest-ready standard. We work with holiday home operators and property managers across Dubai Marina, JBR, Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, and Business Bay to provide scheduled maintenance between stays and priority response for urgent issues during bookings.
Yes. Our technicians are licensed for their respective trades in accordance with Dubai regulatory requirements. Our electricians hold DEWA-compliant qualifications, our HVAC technicians are trained and certified on the systems they service, and our plumbers are professionally qualified. We do not use unlicensed freelancers or subcontract to unverified third parties when our schedule is full. Every member of our team who attends your property is accountable to Domus Services — not a subcontractor we cannot control.
Yes, and this is one of the primary reasons clients choose Domus Services. Because we operate all trades under a single team, we can schedule multi-trade visits — for example, an AC service, electrical inspection, and plumbing check within the same property visit on the same day. This reduces your time investment and eliminates the coordination overhead of managing separate contractors. For properties with multiple outstanding maintenance tasks, we assess everything in a single site visit and provide a consolidated quote covering all required work.
The fastest way is to message us directly on WhatsApp. Describe what you need — even a brief description is sufficient — and we will confirm a site visit within 24 to 48 hours. You can also use the contact form on our website. We cover all areas of Dubai, seven days a week. For urgent maintenance issues, message us with "urgent" in your first message and we will prioritise your booking within the same day where availability allows.
We cover all areas of Dubai without additional travel charges. This includes residential communities such as Emirates Hills, Jumeirah, Arabian Ranches, Palm Jumeirah, Damac Hills, Dubai Hills, Al Barsha, JVC, JBR, Dubai Marina, and Mirdif; commercial areas including Business Bay, DIFC, Downtown Dubai, JLT, Al Quoz Industrial, and Dubai Media City; and apartment-dense areas including Deira, Bur Dubai, International City, and Silicon Oasis.
