PRICING AND AED RANGES

what tamam costsand why it is always a range

tamam does not publish one price per service, because there is not one. Several verified vendors look at the same job and each come back with what they would charge, and where you land inside the band depends on scope, property size, access and the tier you pick. This page shows the real bands across all four categories and the things that move them.

why it is a range and not a price

Ask what tamam costs and the honest answer is a band. AC maintenance is AED 150–700. A car wash is AED 30–120. Cleaning is quoted at AED 35–90 per hour. These are not teaser figures with a real price hidden behind them — they are the working spread of what verified vendors charge for the same kind of job, and the spread exists because the jobs inside it are genuinely different.

tamam is not a service company with a rate card. It is where several licensed vendors see the same job description and each come back with what they would charge, and you choose. A single fixed number per service could only be one of two things: a floor that most real bookings quietly exceed, or a ceiling that overcharges the simple ones.

The range narrows to an actual figure once a vendor sees the scope. You approve it before work starts.

the published band

A catalogue figure. It covers typical jobs of that type, across the value, mid and premium tiers, anywhere tamam operates. It is what you see before you have told anyone anything about your job.

the vendor quote

A specific number from a specific vendor, against your scope, your property and your access. It arrives after you describe the job, and nothing is confirmed until you have seen it and accepted it.

Both come before you commit, and the order matters. The band tells you whether something is a hundred-dirham errand or a four-figure project. The quote tells you what this particular one will be.

what the app itself costs

Nothing, until you book. tamam is free to download on iOS and Android and free to browse: open it, search a service, see which verified vendors cover your address and read their AED ranges without paying anything or committing to anything.

You pay per booking. Payment happens in the app and the receipt is saved to your account, so the job you approved and the amount you paid stay in one record.

If you would rather not use the app at all, whatsapp is the other channel. Message what you need and a coordinator arranges vetted vendors from the same network — you still see the AED ranges and approve one before anyone is dispatched.

the bands, category by category

This is the catalogue as it stands: 4 categories, 29 core services and 156 sub-services grouped under them. The AED figures are the published bands, the same ones the service pages carry. The duration column is the working time a job of that type normally takes — it describes the job, not how soon someone can be at your door.

home services — cleaning, ac, plumbing, electrical, painting, pest control, moving and more, delivered to your door. Eleven services and 69 sub-services, and the widest spread on the site: hanging a picture and packing a villa are both in here.

car services — mobile car care that comes to your parking space, from washes and oil changes to detailing and recovery. Eight services and 36 sub-services. Most are short visits, which is why the bands sit tighter than the home ones.

health services — licensed nurses, doctors and clinicians who come to your home, office or hotel. Seven services and 35 sub-services, delivered by DHA and DoH licensed clinicians. Nothing here is medical advice; what is clinically appropriate is a question for the clinician, not for a price table.

Treat these as guide bands. The vendor you select confirms the exact price in-app before the job begins.

how to read the units

Most of the bands above are per job. A handful are not, and reading those as a per-job figure will mislead you badly. Four units appear in the catalogue, and each changes the arithmetic.

per hourCleaning is AED 35–90 per hour and nursing is AED 80–200 per hour. That is the rate, not the visit. Cleaning bookings typically run 2–6 hours and home nursing 1–12, so the total is the rate multiplied by the hours booked.
per square metrePainting is AED 25–45 per m², priced on the surface area being painted. That is why a painter wants room sizes, ceiling height and coat count before a real number exists. The 1–3 days shown is working days on site.
per sessionPhysiotherapy is AED 250–600 per session, and a session is 45–60 minutes. A course of treatment is that figure repeated. How many sessions you need is a clinical judgement, not a pricing one.
monthlyPool maintenance is AED 300–900 monthly. That covers a month of scheduled visits rather than one, each visit being the 1–2 hours shown. It is the only band in the catalogue quoted by the month.

The duration column has a trap of its own: it is not always time on site. Laundry shows 24–48 hours because that is turnaround from pickup to return. Packing and moving shows 4 hours–2 days because a studio and a five-bedroom villa are the same service at completely different scales — which is also why its AED 800–5000 is the widest band on the site.

what moves a quote up or down

When a vendor turns your description into a number, they are weighing a short and unmysterious list. Most of it you can answer before you book, and answering it up front is what makes a quote accurate rather than optimistic.

scope and complexityOne unit or five. Normal soil or a kitchen nobody has touched in a year. A repair that needs a part ordered versus one that does not. The single biggest mover inside any band.
property type and sizeApartment, villa or office. A three-bedroom villa deep clean and a studio deep clean sit at opposite ends of the same range, and the same holds for pest control, painting, gardening and moving.
accessGate procedures, lift bookings, tower clearance, and where a technician can actually park. Access is where visits lose time, and time is what is being priced. Access notes saved on your profile stop you re-explaining them.
parts and materialsAC gas, a replacement tap, a battery, paint. Where a job needs them, they are quoted separately from the labour and approved by you first — not folded silently into the band.
urgency and timingA slot booked in advance and an emergency call-out are not the same job commercially, and after-hours work is different again. If your timing is flexible, say so; it tends to show up in the number.
the tier you pickValue, mid and premium vendors quote the same job at different levels. The vetting does not change between them — licence, insurance and technician ID are the baseline for every vendor. What changes is the crew, the products and the price.

pushes toward the top

  • villa rather than apartment
  • several rooms, units or vehicles at once
  • heavy soil, long neglect or existing damage
  • parts, gas or materials required
  • emergency or after-hours slot
  • premium tier or premium products

keeps it near the bottom

  • a single unit and standard scope
  • apartment rather than villa
  • a flexible weekday window
  • value tier
  • labour only, no parts
  • straightforward parking and lift access

None of this is negotiation theatre. You are describing a job accurately so that the number you are given is the number that survives contact with the job.

does the price change by area

The published band does not. AED 150–700 for ac maintenance is the same figure on the Dubai Marina page and on the Fujairah City page, because it describes the service, not a local rate card. tamam covers 686 communities across all seven emirates — 366 areas in Dubai, 153 in Abu Dhabi, 65 in Sharjah, 33 in Ajman, 31 in Ras Al Khaimah, 22 in Fujairah and 15 in Umm Al Quwain — and the bands are identical in every one.

What changes by area is which verified vendors cover it, and what your job looks like once they see it. That difference shows up in the quote, not in the published band.

If a service or an area is not listed in the app, a whatsapp message arranges a vendor through the same vetted network, priced the same way.

what you see before you commit

Every point at which money is involved comes before the work, not after it.

  1. describe the jobIn the app or on whatsapp: the service, the address, the scope, and anything unusual about the property or the access. The more precise this is, the tighter the quotes that come back.
  2. vendors covering your area respondVerified providers who work your community return AED ranges against that description, with their profile and the slots they have.
  3. compare tiers side by sideValue, mid and premium against the same job. Every vendor listed has already cleared a municipality trade licence check and an insurance check, so you are comparing fit and price, not risk.
  4. get the scope and the range in writingWritten confirmation of what is included before anything is booked. Parts and consumables, where they apply, are quoted separately and approved by you first.
  5. confirm the slotYou choose the window. Arrival is tracked in the app, the technician is ID-tagged, and in-app chat means no where-are-you phone calls.
  6. pay in-app, keep the receiptPayment is handled in the app and the receipt is saved. If the vendor suited you, rebooking the same one takes a couple of taps.
Nothing is charged until you have chosen a vendor and seen their number. There are no surprise call-out fees.

These bands reflect typical jobs. Unusual scope gets quoted individually, still before you commit. That is the only promise this page makes about money, and it is the one that matters: you see the figure, then you decide.

pricing questions people ask

How much does tamam cost to use?

The app is free to download on iOS and Android and free to browse. You pay only when you book a job, and what you pay is what the vendor you chose quoted for it — approved by you in the app before work starts.

Why does tamam show a price range instead of one fixed price?

Because several verified vendors quote the same job and you choose between them. A single fixed rate would have to be either a floor that most real bookings exceed or a ceiling that overcharges simple work. The band shows the spread; the vendor quote gives you the figure.

Is the published range the final price?

No. Treat these as guide bands. The vendor you select confirms the exact price in-app before the job begins, and the range narrows to an actual figure once that vendor has seen the scope.

Does tamam charge a booking or call-out fee?

Nothing is charged until you have chosen a vendor and seen their number. There are no surprise call-out fees.

Are parts and materials included in the range?

Parts and consumables, where they apply, are quoted separately and approved by you first. AC gas, a replacement tap, a car battery or paint sit on top of the labour band, and you see them before the job is confirmed.

Do prices change depending on which emirate I am in?

The published band does not. It is a catalogue figure for the service, identical on every area page across all seven emirates. What differs is which verified vendors cover your community and what they quote once they have seen the job.

Which services have the lowest and highest published bands?

Car wash at AED 30–120 and laundry at AED 30–150 are the lowest bands in the catalogue, and cleaning is quoted hourly at AED 35–90 per hour so the total follows the hours booked. At the other end, packing and moving runs AED 800–5000 and car detailing AED 300–2500.

Can I get a price without downloading the app?

Yes. Message tamam on whatsapp with what you need and a coordinator arranges vetted vendors, sends back AED ranges and confirms a slot. You approve the range before anyone is dispatched.
