Housework, grab bars, or a live-in helper

An elderly parent may need a live-in helper, or may need a cleaner and a safer bathroom. Homey does the second and third only where the pages already price them. The helper is an agency hire.

Three different needs

If the need is a weekly reset of kitchen and floors, the part-time bands apply: S$66 to S$78 or S$88 to S$104. If the need is a bar beside the shower, the grab-bar page starts at S$65 to S$80 for a bar you supply, and S$380 to S$780 for the private condo or landed hospital-to-home bundle.

If the need is someone there all night, that is a helper or a care service hired properly. We will not relabel a cleaner as a caregiver. Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K) carries permit-exempt housekeeping, proofing and handyman work. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H) carries any scope that needs an HDB renovation permit. Homey Furnishing is not a MOM-licensed employment agency and does not publish an agency fee.

Checklist

  1. Write what must happen at 2am. If it is personal care, do not book a cleaner for it.
  2. Price housework from the maid page.
  3. Price the bathroom from the grab-bar page.
  4. Use a licensed agency for a live-in helper. Ask for the licence number.

Use these published bands

No caregiver rate is added. Use S$66 to S$104 for the cleaning visits and S$65 to S$80 or S$380 to S$780 for the grab-bar scopes those pages name.

What Housework, grab bars, or a live-in helper includes

Housework, grab bars, or a live-in helper is a permit-exempt visit unless the photos show hacking, a new layout, a window replacement, or the household shelter. The hourly and call-out figures, if this page publishes them, are the ones to use. There is no separate fuel surcharge in the handyman rates this site states.

One task on one visit is a different booking from a list of five rooms. Send one photo per task and say which must be done first. A plumber, an electrician or a renovation permit is named when the task leaves handyman scope, rather than being folded into the hour.

Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, carries permit-exempt work. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), listed on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, carries any scope that needs an HDB renovation permit.

How the visit runs

  1. List the tasks and put the one that blocks the home first.
  2. Protect the floor and confirm the part, if you bought it, actually fits.
  3. Do that task. Do not start a second trade that needs another licence.
  4. Test it. A hinge that still sags is not finished.
  5. Photograph the result against the list you sent.

The number of tasks, whether parts are on site, and access decide the time. An HDB service yard, a condo loading bay and a landed roof are not the same approach. Sunday noisy work is refused when the Town Council or MCST forbids it.

HDB, condo and landed

The same task is allowed differently in each housing type. These are permissions and access, not a new price. HDB: in an HDB flat, Exempt repairs do not need a permit. Hacking does. In a condo, Use the condo column if it is not HDB. In a landed house, Use the landed column if it is not HDB. Condo: in an HDB flat, Book the lift and the hours before the van arrives. In a condo, MCST by-laws sit on top of the task list. In a landed house, A landed house has no MCST lift. Landed: in an HDB flat, Name the storey. A roof or a gate is not a flat task. In a condo, A condo is not landed. In a landed house, External work waits for safe weather and a safe ladder.

What to prepare

  • One photo per task
  • Say which task is urgent
  • Have parts on site if you bought them
  • Clear a path
  • Say HDB, condo or landed
