Complete Home Maintenance, Handled by One Team
The Property Masters is a Dubai home maintenance company built on a simple idea: your home should be looked after by one team that takes responsibility for all of it. We are fully licensed and certified, processes aligned with ISO 9001 quality-management principles — the same standard whether we are replacing a tap washer or commissioning a full villa AMC.
Because we also deliver interior design, home wellness and cleaning, and facilities management, we are not a single-trade outfit subcontracting everything else. One job, one team, one company accountable from start to finish — no translating between three contractors, no finger-pointing. We work across all seven emirates as a service-area business. Call +971 50 928 5264 to discuss a repair, service visit or annual plan.
Our Home Maintenance Services in Dubai
We cover the full range of residential trades. Each service can be booked on demand or rolled into an annual contract:
- Air Conditioning — servicing, coil and filter cleaning, gas top-ups, fault diagnosis and repair. In Dubai, your AC is the hardest-working system in the home, and we maintain it accordingly.
- Electrical — fault-finding, rewiring, DB board work, lighting, sockets and fixtures. Carried out to DEWA requirements by qualified electricians.
- Plumbing — leaks, blockages, taps, mixers, water heaters, pumps and bathroom fittings.
- Handyman Services — mounting, fixing, assembling, sealing, adjusting and general repairs.
- Interior Painting — touch-ups, single rooms and full-home repaints with proper preparation and clean finishing.
- Carpentry — doors, wardrobes, cabinetry, shelving and bespoke joinery repairs.
- Civil & masonry — minor structural repairs, tiling, plastering and waterproofing.
- Smart Home — installation, configuration and maintenance of smart lighting, climate, security and automation.
- Water Tank Cleaning — scheduled cleaning and disinfection of storage tanks for safe, clean water.
If you are unsure which trade a job needs, describe the problem — one accountable team will scope it for you.
Built for Dubai's Climate: Why Homes Here Need Proactive Care
Homes in Dubai do not age the way homes do in milder climates. The environment is genuinely demanding, and your home's systems are under constant, year-round stress.
The summer AC load
For several months of the year, outdoor temperatures push past 45–50°C, so your air conditioning runs almost continuously — often 24 hours a day.
- Compressor wear — the relentless duty cycle degrades compressors, fan motors, drainage and refrigerant levels faster than in milder climates.
- Pre-summer service — coils cleaned, gas checked, drainage cleared, filters replaced — a serviced unit runs more efficiently and is far less likely to fail on the hottest day of the year.
- Emergency timing — when a unit does fail in peak summer, call-outs are at their slowest and most expensive across the city.
Dust on coils and filters
Dubai's fine desert dust is constant and unavoidable.
- Coil coating — dust settles on condenser and evaporator coils, making it impossible to shed heat efficiently.
- Increased load — a dust-laden system works harder, draws more power and wears out sooner.
- Regular cleaning — coil and filter cleaning is not cosmetic; it directly protects efficiency and equipment life.
Hard water and scaling
The water supply across much of the UAE is hard, and a great deal of domestic water is desalinated.
- Scale build-up — forms inside water heaters, pipework, mixers and any appliance that heats water.
- Reduced flow and efficiency — scaling lowers heating performance and shortens the life of pumps and heaters.
- Proactive descaling — keeps pressure healthy and prevents the slow, invisible damage that ends in a failed water heater.
Humidity, mould and corrosion
Coastal humidity — especially in waterfront communities — creates additional stress on the home.
- Condensation and mould — poorly ventilated bathrooms and AC ducting are common mould points.
- Corrosion — accelerates on metal fittings and fixings; catching it early stops it spreading.
- Seals and ventilation — maintaining these protects both the fabric of the home and the air quality inside it.
Villas vs apartments: different systems, different stress
- Villas carry higher AC tonnage across multiple units, plus private pools, irrigated landscaping, external pumps, water features and more exposed external surfaces.
- Apartments share building infrastructure and are governed by owners-association rules, but still depend on their own AC, plumbing and electrical systems within the unit.
- Every property scoped individually — the plan that suits one rarely fits the other.
In this climate, small problems do not stay small. A weeping pipe joint, a slightly low refrigerant charge, a hairline seal failure — each compounds quickly. Proactive care is not an upsell; it is how you avoid the genuinely expensive failures. Use our AMC calculator to estimate structured cover for your home.
Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) in Dubai
An Annual Maintenance Contract is the most cost-effective way to keep a Dubai home in good order. Instead of paying full call-out rates every time something breaks, an AMC bundles scheduled preventive visits and priority repairs into a single annual fee — problems caught early, systems maintained on a proper cycle, no negotiating a price mid-emergency.
We offer three tiers to match cover to your needs and budget:
- Basic — core preventive maintenance and priority response (baseline pricing, ×1.0).
- Comprehensive — broader coverage and more frequent visits (approximately ×1.6 of Basic).
- Premium — the most complete cover with the highest visit frequency and inclusions (approximately ×2.0 of Basic).
All AMC pricing below is indicative and ex-VAT; your final figure is a fixed quote confirmed after inspection. Add 5% VAT. Use our AMC calculator for an instant indicative estimate based on your property.
What's Included vs Not Included
Transparency on inclusions is where most maintenance companies stay vague. Here is the honest split for a standard contract:
Typically Included
Typically Not Included (charged separately or excluded)
Scheduled preventive maintenance visits
Major spare parts and replacement equipment (e.g. a new compressor)
AC servicing, coil/filter cleaning, drainage checks
Full system replacements and new installations
Routine plumbing inspections and minor repairs
Civil/structural alterations and renovation work
Electrical checks and minor fixes
Damage caused by misuse, neglect or third parties
Priority response to breakdowns
Cosmetic upgrades and aesthetic changes
Minor consumables (washers, basic fixings)
Specialist add-ons: pool, pest control, AC deep-clean (priced separately)
Labour for covered call-outs
Work outside the contracted property or scope
The principle: routine care, inspections, minor repairs and labour are inside the contract; major parts, replacements and specialist add-ons are quoted transparently and approved by you before any work begins. Your exact inclusion list is confirmed in writing with your contract.
AMC vs Pay-As-You-Go: Which Saves You More?
The honest answer depends on your home — but the maths usually favours an AMC for anyone who wants to avoid surprises.
- Pay-as-you-go feels cheaper because you only pay when something breaks — but you pay full call-out rates every time, at the mercy of availability, always discovering problems at the worst moment.
- The real cost of doing nothing — a small under-sink leak caught on a routine visit is a ten-minute fix. Left unseen for weeks it soaks the cabinet, lifts the flooring, damages the ceiling below, and invites mould — turning an AED 150 job into a multi-thousand-dirham repair.
- AC gas — a slightly low charge caught early is a quick top-up; ignored, it overworks the compressor until the compressor itself fails.
- Priority — when you are on a contract, you are buying first call on the team when something goes wrong, and a single accountable partner who already knows your home.
AMC for Villas vs Apartments
Villa AMCs cover more, because villas have more: higher combined AC tonnage, multiple internal and external systems, and — where applicable — pool, garden, irrigation and pump add-ons.
- 3-bedroom villa from AED 2,800/year (ex-VAT)
- 4-bedroom villa from AED 3,400/year (ex-VAT)
- 5-bedroom villa from AED 4,500/year (ex-VAT)
- Townhouses from AED 2,800/year (ex-VAT)
Apartment AMCs are scoped to the unit itself — AC, plumbing, electrical and fittings — and coordinated with building rules where needed.
- 1-bedroom apartment from AED 1,400/year (ex-VAT)
- 2-bedroom from AED 1,700/year (ex-VAT)
- 3-bedroom from AED 2,000/year (ex-VAT)
- 4-bedroom from AED 2,800/year (ex-VAT)
AMC for Homeowners, Landlords & Tenants
- Homeowners get a maintained, protected asset and a predictable annual cost — the system that keeps your home comfortable and your equipment lasting longer.
- Landlords get a single accountable partner across one property or a whole portfolio, fewer tenant complaints, documented maintenance, and protection of the asset's value and tenancy compliance.
- Tenants can take out cover where they are responsible for in-tenancy maintenance, or coordinate with a landlord's existing contract. Either way, you get one number to call and a team that responds.
Villa Maintenance in Dubai
Villa maintenance is a different discipline from apartment care — you are maintaining a small estate, not one or two systems.
- AC fleet — multiple units carrying high combined tonnage, serviced ahead of summer on one coordinated plan.
- Pool — water balancing, filtration and equipment checks (add-on approximately AED 3,000–6,000 per year, depending on size and frequency).
- Landscaping and irrigation — external pumps, water features and gates all need periodic attention in this climate.
- Plumbing and water systems — inspected and descaled as part of the same contract.
- Pest control add-on — approximately AED 1,500–2,500 per year, quoted transparently alongside your core AMC.
Left to separate contractors, this becomes a scheduling problem and an accountability gap. As a single accountable team, we fold every system into one coordinated annual plan. Talk to us about your villa on +971 50 928 5264.
Apartment Maintenance in Dubai
Apartment maintenance is about doing the in-unit work well and coordinating sensibly with the building.
- In-unit systems — AC under summer load, plumbing and fittings, electrical points and fixtures, and the handyman jobs that accumulate over a tenancy.
- OA and building rules — some work needs coordination with building management, scheduled access, or sign-off; we are used to working within those constraints.
- Clean, compliant work — we keep the distinction clear between what is the building's responsibility and what is yours or your landlord's.
Indicative apartment AMC pricing starts from AED 1,400/year for a 1-bedroom (ex-VAT); see the AMC calculator for your unit.
24/7 Emergency Maintenance & Response
Some failures cannot wait — an AC that dies in peak summer, a burst pipe or active leak, a tripped board or power fault that leaves part of the home dark.
- Honest commitment — as a newer firm, we do not publish a guaranteed response-time figure we cannot consistently honour.
- What we commit to — we aim to respond as quickly as possible, doing same-day where genuinely achievable, prioritising AMC clients who already have cover with us.
- Real assessment — when you call, you get an honest answer about how soon we can be there, not an empty promise.
For urgent issues, call +971 50 928 5264 directly rather than using a form — speaking to us gets the fastest result.
Pest Control as Part of Maintenance
Pests are a maintenance issue in Dubai's climate, not a separate world — ants, cockroaches, rodents, bed bugs and termites are persistent.
- BPCA-certified — accredited to the British Pest Control Association standard; treatments carried out to a recognised professional standard, not a spray-and-hope call-out.
- Standalone or AMC add-on — annual add-on cover typically AED 1,500–2,500 per year depending on property size and treatment frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a home maintenance AMC in Dubai include?
A standard Annual Maintenance Contract from The Property Masters includes scheduled preventive maintenance visits, AC servicing with coil and filter cleaning and drainage checks, routine plumbing and electrical inspections, minor repairs, minor consumables such as washers and basic fixings, labour for covered call-outs, and priority response to breakdowns. Your exact inclusion list is confirmed in writing with your contract, and you can choose Basic, Comprehensive or Premium tiers.
What does an AMC not include?
AMCs typically exclude major spare parts and replacement equipment (such as a new compressor), full system replacements and new installations, civil or structural alterations, renovation and cosmetic upgrades, and damage caused by misuse, neglect or third parties. Specialist add-ons like pool maintenance, pest control and AC deep-cleaning are priced separately. Anything outside the contract is quoted transparently and approved by you before work begins.
How much does an annual maintenance contract cost in Dubai?
Indicative Basic-tier annual pricing (ex-VAT, add 5% VAT) starts from AED 1,400 for a 1-bedroom apartment, AED 1,700 for a 2-bedroom, AED 2,000 for a 3-bedroom, and AED 2,800 for a 4-bedroom apartment or townhouse. For villas, it starts from AED 2,800 (3-bedroom), AED 3,400 (4-bedroom) and AED 4,500 (5-bedroom). Comprehensive cover is roughly 1.6x and Premium roughly 2x the Basic price. All figures are start-from and confirmed by a fixed quote after inspection. Use our AMC calculator for an instant estimate.
Is an AMC worth it, or should I just pay when something breaks?
For most Dubai homes, an AMC works out better. Pay-as-you-go means full call-out rates every time, at the mercy of availability, with problems often discovered at the worst moment. An AMC bundles preventive visits and priority repairs into a predictable annual fee, catching small issues before they become expensive ones. A small leak caught on a routine visit is a quick fix; left unseen it can damage cabinetry, flooring and the ceiling below — turning a minor job into a multi-thousand-dirham repair.
What is the difference between an AMC and on-demand service?
On-demand (pay-as-you-go) service is booked job-by-job at our standard rates — for example, plumbing from AED 150 call-out or AC servicing from AED 150 per visit. An AMC is an annual contract covering scheduled preventive maintenance plus priority repairs for a single fixed annual fee. On-demand suits one-off problems; an AMC suits anyone who wants their whole home maintained on a proper cycle with priority response and predictable costs.
How is villa maintenance different from apartment maintenance?
Villas have more systems to maintain — higher combined AC tonnage across multiple units, plus pool, garden, irrigation, external pumps and more exposed surfaces — so villa AMCs cover more and cost more, starting from AED 2,800/year. Apartments are scoped to the unit itself (AC, plumbing, electrical and fittings) and coordinated with owners-association rules and building management where needed, starting from AED 1,400/year. We scope every property individually because the right plan depends on its systems.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency maintenance?
Yes, we handle emergencies such as AC failures in peak summer, burst pipes and active leaks, and power faults. As a newer firm we do not publish a guaranteed response-time figure we cannot consistently honour. What we commit to is responding as quickly as possible and doing same-day where it is genuinely achievable, prioritising AMC clients. Call +971 50 928 5264 directly for the fastest response.
Do you really handle all trades, or do you subcontract?
We handle the full range of residential trades with one accountable team — AC, electrical, plumbing, handyman, painting, carpentry, civil and masonry, smart home and water tank cleaning. Because The Property Masters also delivers interior design, home wellness and cleaning, and facilities management, a multi-trade job is one job with one company answerable for the outcome, rather than several contractors you have to coordinate yourself.
How much do individual maintenance jobs cost?
Indicative start-from rates (ex-VAT, add 5% VAT): plumbing from AED 150 call-out or AED 129/hr, electrical from AED 129/hr, painting from AED 8/sqft, handyman from AED 109/hr, AC servicing from AED 150/visit, and AC gas refill from AED 160/unit. These are starting figures; your final price is a fixed quote confirmed after inspection, with no hidden charges.
Do you offer a warranty on your maintenance work?
Yes. We stand behind our work with a warranty in line with market practice, confirmed at sign-off. The specific warranty terms depend on the type of work carried out, and we will set them out clearly for you before the job begins.
Is your electrical work DEWA-compliant?
Yes. Electrical work is carried out to DEWA requirements by qualified electricians, covering fault-finding, rewiring, DB board work, lighting, sockets and fixtures. We work to recognised safety standards so your electrical systems are both safe and compliant.
Is your pest control professionally certified?
Yes. Our pest control is BPCA-certified — accredited to the British Pest Control Association standard — so treatments for ants, cockroaches, rodents, bed bugs and termites are carried out to a recognised professional standard. Pest control can be booked standalone or added to your AMC, typically AED 1,500–2,500 per year depending on property size and frequency.
Which areas of the UAE do you cover?
We operate as a service-area business across all seven emirates — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. Within Dubai we serve villa communities such as Arabian Ranches, Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, The Springs and Dubai Hills, and apartment districts including Dubai Marina, Downtown, Business Bay, JVC and JLT. Call +971 50 928 5264 to confirm coverage for your area.
Why does Dubai's climate make proactive maintenance so important?
Dubai's environment is genuinely demanding. Summer temperatures past 45–50°C keep your AC running almost continuously, making it the most failure-prone system in the home. Fine desert dust clogs coils and filters, reducing efficiency. Hard and desalinated water causes scaling in pipes and water heaters, and coastal humidity drives mould and corrosion. In this climate small problems compound quickly, so proactive maintenance prevents the genuinely expensive failures rather than just reacting to them.
Can landlords put a maintenance portfolio under one contract?
Yes. Landlords can place a single property or an entire portfolio under one accountable partner, with documented maintenance, fewer tenant complaints, and protection of asset value and tenancy compliance. Tenants responsible for in-tenancy maintenance can also take out cover or coordinate with a landlord's existing contract. Either way, there is one number to call and one team that responds.
How do I get started and how does the process work?
Call +971 50 928 5264 or request a callback. For AMCs and larger jobs we inspect your property and map the systems needing cover, then give you a clear, written, fixed quote with inclusions spelled out. Once approved, we schedule a convenient time, coordinate building access where needed, carry out the work to ISO 9001 quality principles, and back it with a warranty. For AMC clients, we then manage your maintenance calendar going forward.
