Pest Control & Cleaning in Al Majaz
Al Majaz runs along Khalid Lagoon and holds some of the tallest residential towers in Sharjah, with restaurants and cafes at ground level along the waterfront. The mix of high-rise living above food outlets shapes almost every call we get from here.

Getting a contractor into a Majaz tower
The towers along the lagoon and along Al Majaz Street are managed buildings, and most of them run a permit system for contractors. The tenant or owner tells the management office who is attending, the office issues a work permit, and security at the desk checks the technician against it on arrival. Our trade licence, Sharjah Municipality pest control approval and insurance documents are supplied in advance so the permit can be issued without a second round of emails.
Two things to settle at booking. First, whether the building restricts contractor hours; several lagoon-side towers do not allow spraying or drilling in the afternoon. Second, whether the service lift can be used, because carrying equipment through a marble lobby is something management tends to object to after the fact. We ask both questions before the visit rather than discovering the answers at the desk.
What the build type produces
High-rise apartments over ground-floor restaurants are the defining feature of Al Majaz, and cockroaches are the result. Kitchens on the waterfront generate grease, warmth and waste, and the shared risers and refuse chutes carry German cockroaches upward through the building. An apartment on the fifteenth floor with a persistent problem usually has its source several floors down, and the honest recommendation is often a building-level programme that treats the risers, the refuse room and the ground-floor commercial units together.
For the restaurants and cafes themselves, we run the commercial side: scheduled programmes with numbered device plans, per-visit reports and trend data, which is what a municipality inspector wants to see and what a landlord wants on file when a tenant disputes who caused the problem.
Rodents follow the food. Ground-floor units, refuse rooms and basement parking are where we find them, and exclusion, sealing the routes in, matters as much as baiting. Mosquitoes breed in the podium landscaping and in blocked drains on the lower terraces. Bed bugs appear in the furnished short-let apartments that have multiplied along the lagoon, driven by guest turnover rather than by the building.
The cleaning work is apartment handover and deep cleaning, sofa and carpet cleaning, and AC duct and coil cleaning in the towers, where units run continuously through summer and start to smell musty at start-up by October. On the commercial side it is kitchen hood and duct degreasing and grease trap cleaning for the waterfront outlets, which insurers and the municipality both expect to be documented.
Office and attendance
Al Majaz is a few minutes from the head office on Estiqlal Street, so a single apartment can often be attended the same day. Restaurant work is usually done outside trading hours, early morning or after closing, and is scheduled rather than fitted in. Tower programmes are surveyed first so the scope can be agreed with the management office.
Book by WhatsApp with the tower name, the floor and what you are seeing. For a restaurant, tell us the trading hours and whether the kitchen has a separate service entrance.
One rate basis, whatever the floor
A lagoon-view apartment is quoted on the same basis as any other apartment in Sharjah. The tower, the floor and the address change nothing; the size of the unit, what is happening and whether the work is one visit or a programme are what the quotation is built on.
