Mould and damp in a warehouse or workshop in Dubai
Marks on walls and ceilings, a damp smell, fungus on stock or packaging. Painting over it buys a few weeks. We look for where the moisture is coming from.
What we measure here: relative humidity %, temperature °C
Where we look first
- Warm, wet outside air getting in
- Surfaces cooled by the AC
- Water from a roof or a pipe
- A blocked drain or failed duct insulation
To speed things up, send us
- A photo of the marks or the affected stock
- Where in the building they are
- When it started and what has changed
Mould is the symptom
Fungus grows where a surface stays damp, so the real question is why it stays damp. In the UAE the answer is often condensation: warm, humid outside air meets a surface cooled by air conditioning. It can also be plain water from a roof, a pipe or a blocked condensate drain, and those need a different fix.
How we check
We map humidity and surface temperature around the affected area, look at the drains and duct insulation above the ceiling, and check how much outside air gets in and where. Moisture has a route, and we want to be able to show you that route before anyone starts cleaning.
What we do
- repair the source: drains, leaking joints, failed duct insulation, gaps around doors
- bring humidity down with ventilation changes or dehumidifiers
- clean the affected surfaces once the source is dealt with, not before
- add a humidity sensor where mould has come back before, so you see it early
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 the moisture comes through the building itself, such as a failed roof or wall waterproofing, that is a building repair. We will show you the evidence so you can raise it with the landlord. And we cannot rescue goods that are already contaminated: whether they can still be sold is a question for your own quality rules.
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.
