Old, uneven concrete ceiling showing in your Deira apartment? Al-Rahim’s licensed technicians install a flat gypsum ceiling over it and quote the full job before work begins.
Al-Rahim Technical Services has installed gypsum ceilings across Dubai for 10+ years and is licensed by Dubai Government for interior and gypsum work. Many buildings in Deira are older stock, with exposed conduit, uneven slabs, and ceiling heights that vary from what current plans show — a licensed crew that checks the slab first avoids surprises mid-job.
This service fits apartment owners upgrading a rental unit, and shop or office tenants in Deira who need a clean ceiling finish before opening for business. Every job comes with a written quote and a satisfaction guarantee.
What’s Included
A gypsum ceiling installation covers the full build from framing to a paint-ready surface.
- Slab inspection for conduit, cracks, and level variance
- Metal channel and hanger frame installation
- Gypsum board cutting and fixing
- Recessed cutouts for lighting and AC vents
- Taping, jointing, and sanding for a seamless finish
- Debris removal and site cleanup on completion
Why Older Deira Buildings Need a Different Approach
Many Deira buildings were built decades ago, and their concrete slabs are rarely perfectly flat. A gypsum ceiling installed without checking slab level first can end up with visible dips or a frame that pulls loose within a year.
Al-Rahim’s technicians measure slab level at several points in the room before fixing any hangers, then adjust the frame height to compensate. This step takes an extra hour on-site but prevents callbacks later.
Gypsum Board Types We Use
Standard 12.5mm gypsum board suits most residential ceilings and gives a smooth base for paint. Fire-rated board is worth considering for shop units and offices in Deira’s older commercial buildings, where fire compliance is often checked during municipality inspections.
For units near ground level with higher humidity, moisture-resistant board resists sagging better than standard board over several years of AC use.
- Standard board — bedrooms, living rooms, offices
- Fire-rated board — shop units, commercial spaces
- Moisture-resistant board — ground-floor and humid units
What Affects the Price in Dubai
Ceiling area is the main cost driver, along with how uneven the existing slab is. A slab needing significant levelling work adds labour hours before the first board goes up.
The number of cutouts for lighting, AC diffusers, and smoke detectors also affects price, since each cutout takes time to measure and finish cleanly. Al-Rahim confirms all of this in a written quote after the site survey, so there is no guessing at final cost.
Our Process, Step by Step
We start by marking the ceiling level with a laser line and checking for existing electrical conduit in the slab. Hangers are fixed at set intervals, then the metal frame is levelled and locked in place.
Boards are lifted, screwed to the frame, and butted tightly at joints. After taping and three coats of joint compound with sanding between each, the ceiling is primed and left ready for your chosen paint colour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle an uneven concrete slab?+
We measure slab level at multiple points before installing hangers, then adjust the frame height across the room so the finished ceiling is flat even if the slab above it is not.
Can gypsum ceilings be installed in shop units?+
Yes, we regularly work in Deira shop units and offices. We can install fire-rated board where local fire compliance rules apply, and work around existing shelving or fixtures with minimal disruption.
How long does a typical apartment ceiling take?+
A standard room takes 2 to 3 days including frame, boarding, and finishing. Full-apartment jobs with multiple rooms usually take 5 to 8 days depending on the number of rooms and cutouts required.
Will the installation damage my existing electrical wiring?+
No. Our technicians check for conduit routing before drilling or fixing hangers, and coordinate cutout positions with any existing wiring points to avoid damage.
Do you work in occupied units or only vacant ones?+
Both. For occupied units we seal off the work area with plastic sheeting to contain dust, and can schedule work around your daily routine where possible.
Is there a warranty on the gypsum ceiling work?+
Yes, every installation comes with Al-Rahim’s written satisfaction guarantee. If a joint cracks or a section sags within the warranty period due to workmanship, we return and fix it at no extra charge.
