Goods spoiling in your Dubai warehouse?
Soft cartons, rust, mould, melted stock. The cause is usually not the goods but the air around them. We measure temperature and humidity, find out why and fix that.
What we measure here: temperature °C, relative humidity %
Where we look first
- Roof and sun heat the upper racks
- Humid air through open doors
- Still air, so heat and damp stay
- Stock against outer walls or on the floor
To speed things up, send us
- A photo of the damaged stock
- What the goods are and where they are stored
- When it started and what has changed
Why stock goes off
One thermometer on a warehouse wall tells you very little. The air at the top of the racks can be far warmer than the air at the floor, and the area by a roller door changes every time a truck backs in. In summer each opening lets in hot, wet air, and that moisture settles on anything cooler: cartons, metal, film.
The usual causes:
- the roof and the sun-facing wall heating the upper racks
- humid air coming in through doors that stay open
- still air, so pockets of heat and damp never move
- stock standing against outer walls or directly on the floor
- cooling sized for a different use of the building
How we check
We place data loggers at different heights and near the doors and leave them through ordinary working days, because one reading at ten in the morning misses the problem. We also ask what the manufacturer allows for your goods. That figure, not a general rule, is the target.
What we do
It depends on the readings: ventilation and air movement, dehumidifiers, more cooling or cooling in a different place, door strips or air curtains, insulation of the worst surfaces, and permanent temperature and humidity monitoring that alerts you when readings leave the agreed limits. Often it is several small changes rather than one big machine.
What may be part of the fix here
Only if the readings call for it. Often nothing new is needed.
What this will not fix
If your product needs a controlled cold chain, moving the air will not save it. You need a cold room, and we will tell you so after the first measurements.
How we solve it
The same four steps, for a one-bedroom apartment or a warehouse.
-
MeasureBefore
You get: the readings.
-
Find the cause
You get: an itemised estimate. You decide.
-
Fix it
First clean, adjust, repair. New equipment last.
-
Measure againAfter
You keep: the sheet, before and after.
You see the result in numbers
Before the work and after it we take the same readings in the same places, and note the time and the weather outside. You keep the sheet, so you can see what changed without taking anyone’s word for it.

Tell us what is wrong
Leave your number and a few words about the problem. We will call back the same working day and arrange a visit to take measurements.
- You leave your number
- We call back the same working day
- We measure, then you decide
- In Dubai the first visit with measurements is free.
- We measure before we propose anything.
- If cleaning or a repair solves it, that is what the estimate will say.
- You keep the sheet with the readings before and after.
