How Dubai's Climate Affects Kitchen Renovation

Kitchen extract is more important in Dubai than most markets because windows stay closed, so cooking moisture and grease have nowhere to go except into the joinery and the AC return.

Kitchen extract is more important in Dubai than most markets because windows stay closed, so cooking moisture and grease have nowhere to go except into the joinery and the AC return.

This is why an interval copied from a European or North American manufacturer schedule does not hold in the UAE. The same equipment, the same materials and the same finishes are working under a load they were not specified against, and they age on a faster clock.

The practical consequence is that kitchen renovation here is a scheduled item rather than a reactive one. The kitchen is the room that dates a property fastest and the one buyers and tenants judge first.

Our recommendation for Dubai properties is straightforward: a kitchen is typically renovated every twelve to eighteen years, with hardware serviced and silicone renewed every two to three.

What we look at on site: strip out and services first fix; joinery manufacture and install; worktop templating and fitting; splashback, tiling and finishes.

If you are unsure whether your property is due, send photographs on WhatsApp and we will tell you honestly whether it needs attention yet.

Kitchen projects go wrong at the joints between trades. The electrician arrives before the cabinets are set out, the worktop template is taken from a drawing instead of the installed carcasses, the extract is ducted after the ceiling is closed. We hold all five trades under one programme, template from what is actually built, and sequence the services around the joinery rather than the other way around.

If this is what you are dealing with, send a photograph on WhatsApp — we will tell you what it is and what it costs before anyone is dispatched.
