Is cleaning restaurants covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning restaurants can indeed be a complex task and is often covered by insurance policies. However, it's crucial to understand that the specifics of your policy will dictate what’s included and how much coverage you have. In Dubai, there are certain regulations set forth by the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) and other local authorities concerning indoor environmental quality which could affect restaurant cleaning.

If you're planning on purchasing a villa with potentially former restaurant use, it's advisable to get your property inspected first. This can help uncover any issues that might arise from previous occupancy. A professional inspection will give you peace of mind as well as insights into the condition of the villa and necessary remediation steps if needed.

Now, regarding insurance, most commercial policies cover cleaning services for restaurants but make sure to review yours carefully. Policies often include coverage for structural repairs, mold remediation, and other cleaning tasks that might be required after a restaurant closure or renovation. Nonetheless, it's not uncommon for such coverage to have specific limitations or exclusions.

In Dubai, should you find the need for cleaning services due to past restaurant use, expect costs to vary widely depending on the extent of work needed. For minor issues like surface cleaning and regular maintenance, you might pay around AED 500 - 1000 per month. However, if there are more severe concerns such as mold or asbestos contamination, remediation could cost tens of thousands of dirhams.

For example, a basic assessment by an environmental consultant in the UAE can range from AED 2000 to 5000 while remediation might start at around AED 10,000 and go up depending on the scale. Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 for a quote and advice tailored specifically to your villa.

Remember, it's always better to address these issues early rather than waiting until they become major problems down the line. Saniservice is here to help with all your inspection and remediation needs, so feel free to reach out if you need more info or assistance.
