01APARTMENT RENOVATION
Apartments in Dubai's earlier towers often have generous layouts but dated kitchens, tired bathrooms and fittings near the end of their life. Renovating one brings the finishes up to date and renews what the original fit-out did not build to last.

Tell us the building and what feels dated. We match you with contractors who renew as well as restyle.
Discuss your apartment renovationOr message us on WhatsAppWater heaters, bathroom mixers and supply hoses age out; aluminium window seals harden; fan-coil units and their drain pans in the ceiling collect dirt and leak; and the original electrical fittings may not suit modern use. A walk-through with the contractor before quoting should cover each of these.
Replacing beige tiles, dark timber doors and heavy cornicing with lighter flooring, flush doors and clean ceilings changes the character of an older apartment. Large-format tiles or engineered wood make rooms look bigger, and new lighting replaces the dim fittings common in early towers.
Older buildings may have stricter rules on working hours and lift use, and occasionally older shared services that limit what can be connected. Building management's guidelines and as-built drawings guide what can change.
