International City is a large residential area off Al Awir Road, next to Dragon Mart and Warsan. Its low-rise apartment buildings are grouped into country-themed clusters, China, England, France, Greece, Italy, Morocco, Persia, Russia and Spain among them, each with a look inspired by its namesake. Phase 2 and the Warsan Village area add more buildings. Rents here are among the most affordable in Dubai. Best Home Fixes serves International City residents and landlords with honest prices, insured technicians and quick repairs.
Common problems in International City
Most International City buildings were completed around 2006 to 2008. After years of heavy use, the most common issues are split AC units that stop cooling, blocked kitchen and bathroom drains, leaking water heaters and worn-out bathroom fittings. Electrical faults such as tripping breakers and burnt sockets also come up in older units. Landlords with several apartments often book us between tenants to repaint and fix everything at once.

Getting to your building
International City’s clusters can be confusing for visitors, so please share your cluster, building number and apartment number when you book. Most buildings don’t require a formal permit, but we carry our trade licence and IDs in case the watchman asks. Parking is usually available nearby, and we bring the common parts needed so most jobs are done in one trip.
A quick tip for International City residents
If your AC trips the breaker every time it starts, don’t keep resetting it. That usually points to a failing capacitor, a short in the compressor or a loose wire, and repeated resets can damage the unit or the wiring. Switch it off and send us a short video. We’ll diagnose it on the first visit and tell you whether a repair or replacement makes more sense.
Fair prices for practical repairs
We know that value matters in International City. We quote clearly before starting, offer repairs before suggesting replacements, and use reliable parts that won’t fail again next month. Landlords can ask for a single invoice covering several units.
Help for landlords and tenants
Many apartments in International City are owned by landlords who live elsewhere. We coordinate access with tenants, send photos before and after each job, and keep a simple record of every unit’s repairs. Tenants appreciate that we arrive on time and explain things clearly, and landlords like having one reliable team for all their units.
