Cable Trunking in Dubai
Al-Rahim Technical Services provides cable trunking in Dubai — licensed electrical work for homes and businesses. Pricing is fixed and agreed before work starts, and the job is backed by a written 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Exposed cables running along a wall or ceiling in your Jumeirah villa or office? Loose cable is a trip hazard and looks unfinished, even when the wiring itself is safe. Al-Rahim fits proper cable trunking to contain and protect it, matched to the room’s finish.
Al-Rahim Technical Services has installed cable trunking across Dubai homes and offices for 10+ years, and we are licensed by Dubai Government. Jumeirah villas often have exposed outdoor cable runs to garden lighting or pool equipment, and Dubai’s summer sun degrades unprotected cable fast, so trunking here is as much protection as tidiness.
This service suits homeowners tidying up a messy renovation, offices running new data or power cable along open-plan walls, and outdoor areas where cable needs shielding from sun and dust. We size and finish the trunking to suit the space, not a one-size approach.
What’s Included
Cable trunking installation covers planning, fitting, and finish.
- Assessment of existing cable runs and trunking size needed
- Supply of trunking rated for indoor or outdoor use as required
- Fixing trunking along walls, skirting, or ceiling lines
- Neat routing at corners, junctions, and around fixtures
- Rerouting or bundling loose cable into the new trunking
- Color or finish matched to the wall where available
When to Choose Trunking Over Chasing
Trunking makes sense when cutting into the wall is not practical or wanted, such as in rented properties, commercial spaces with tight timelines, or villas with structural walls that are expensive to chase. It also makes sense when cable needs to stay accessible for future changes.
It is also the right call for exposed outdoor cable, since armored or protected trunking shields cable from Jumeirah’s direct sun and blown sand far better than leaving it strapped loosely to a wall.
Types of Trunking We Fit
PVC trunking is standard for indoor power and data cable, available in sizes to match anything from a single cable to a full bundle. For higher-traffic or industrial areas, we use metal trunking, which is more durable against impact.
Outdoor trunking is UV-resistant and rated for weather exposure, important given how much direct sun garden and terrace cable takes in Jumeirah through the summer months.
What Affects the Price in Dubai
Price depends on the length of run, the trunking size needed for the cable bundle, and whether it is indoor PVC or outdoor-rated material. Outdoor and metal trunking cost more than standard indoor PVC due to the material itself.
We measure the exact run on site and give an upfront quote covering material and labor, so the price you agree to is the price on the invoice.
Trunking for Homes, Offices, and Outdoor Areas
In homes, trunking is most requested along skirting boards after a TV or home theater setup, where multiple cables need tidying without cutting into the wall. In offices, we run trunking along desks and partitions for power and network cable together.
For Jumeirah villas with pool and garden lighting, we route trunking along fence lines or buried in protective conduit where cable crosses open ground, keeping it out of reach of gardening tools and irrigation work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is trunking as safe as cable inside the wall?+
Yes, when the right trunking type and rating is used for the location. It protects cable from physical damage and, outdoors, from sun and moisture just as well as concealment.
Can trunking be painted to match the wall?+
Yes, PVC trunking can be painted once fitted, and we also offer trunking in white or common finish colors that need no painting at all.
How much cable can one trunking run hold?+
This depends on the trunking size chosen, we size it to the actual cable bundle plus some spare capacity for future additions, rather than a tight fit.
Do you install trunking for data and network cable too?+
Yes, trunking works equally well for network, TV, and power cable, and we can separate power from data cable within the same run where required by code.
Will trunking work for an outdoor pool area?+
Yes, using UV and weather-rated trunking designed for outdoor exposure, which holds up far better than standard indoor trunking left outside.
How long does a trunking installation take?+
A single room run typically takes 2 to 4 hours. Larger villa or office jobs with multiple rooms can take a full day.
