Questions by service

HVAC & AC services →

How often should an AC be serviced in Dubai?

Because of heat and dust, most homes in Dubai service their AC every three to four months, with filters cleaned more often in summer. Commercial systems that run long hours usually need more frequent checks.

Do you install AC units in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Sabaco installs and services AC systems in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi.

What types of AC do you work on?

We work on split units, ducted systems and ceiling cassette units for villas, apartments and offices.

Electrical works →

Can you add new sockets or lighting points in an existing villa?

Yes. We add, move and replace sockets, switches and lighting points, and can rewire rooms during renovations.

Do you install garden and outdoor lighting?

Yes. Garden, path and feature-wall lighting is part of both our electrical and landscaping work.

Can you fix a breaker that keeps tripping?

Yes. We trace the circuit or appliance causing the trip, repair the fault and test the distribution board.

Plumbing & water heaters →

Do you replace water heaters?

Yes. We remove the old unit, supply and fit a new water heater, and test the connections.

Can you fix leaks behind tiles?

Yes. We open up the affected area, repair the pipework and reinstate the wall or floor finish.

Do you handle plumbing for offices and shops?

Yes. We work on residential and commercial plumbing, including washroom refurbishments.

False ceilings & gypsum →

Which false ceiling is better for an office?

Suspended grid ceilings are common in offices because tiles lift out for access to AC, cabling and sprinklers. Gypsum board ceilings give a seamless finish and suit reception areas and meeting rooms.

Can you install lighting and AC with the ceiling?

Yes. Because we also handle electrical and HVAC work, ceilings, lights and AC diffusers are coordinated in one job.

Do you repair damaged gypsum ceilings?

Yes. We repair cracks, holes and water damage and finish to match the existing ceiling.

Painting →

Do you paint occupied offices?

Yes. Office repainting is scheduled around your working hours where possible.

Do you prepare walls before painting?

Yes. Cracks and damage are filled and repaired before painting so the finish lasts.

Do you paint villa exteriors?

Yes. We paint facades, boundary walls and outdoor surfaces.

Carpentry →

Do you handle small carpentry repairs?

Yes. Door, hinge, handle and cabinet repairs are part of our maintenance and handyman service.

Can carpentry be combined with painting and ceilings?

Yes. We quote carpentry, painting and false ceilings together as one interiors job.

Landscaping →

Which plants grow well in Dubai gardens?

Palms, olive trees, bougainvillea, ficus and drought-tolerant shrubs and succulents cope well with Dubai’s heat. Choosing the right plants with drip irrigation keeps water use and upkeep low.

Do you landscape villas outside Dubai?

Yes. We landscape villas and commercial properties in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi.

Can you maintain the garden after it is built?

Yes. We offer scheduled garden maintenance after handover.

Interlock & hardscape →

Why does interlock paving sink or become uneven?

Usually because the base was not compacted properly. We excavate, add sub-base material and compact it with a plate compactor before laying the blocks.

Can you re-level existing interlock?

Yes. We lift sunken areas, rebuild the base and relay the existing blocks or replace damaged ones.

Which interlock is best for a villa driveway?

Thicker blocks, typically around 80 mm, suit driveways that carry cars, while thinner blocks are fine for paths and patios. The compacted base matters as much as the block itself.

Irrigation →

Drip or sprinkler: which is better in Dubai?

Drip irrigation suits planting beds, trees and pots because it delivers water to the roots with little evaporation. Sprinklers suit lawns. Most villa gardens use a combination.

Can you fix an existing irrigation system?

Yes. We repair leaks, replace blocked emitters and sprinkler heads, and reprogram controllers.

Do you install irrigation as part of landscaping?

Yes. Irrigation is planned and installed together with the planting.

Maintenance & AMC →

What does a maintenance contract cover?

It is agreed per property, and usually includes scheduled AC servicing, plumbing and electrical checks, minor repairs and, for villas, garden upkeep.

Do you work with property management companies?

Yes. We maintain units and buildings for property managers with one point of contact.

Can I combine garden and technical maintenance?

Yes. Garden care and technical maintenance can be covered by one Sabaco contract.

Handyman services →

Can I book a handyman for several small jobs?

Yes. Send us a list with photos on WhatsApp and we will plan them into one visit.

Do you provide handyman services for offices?

Yes. We handle small repairs and installations for offices and shops as well as homes.
