Weak water in an HDB or a condo

HDB stacks and condo tanks fail for the whole riser. Your private valve fails for you alone. Close and open the stopcock fully once, and unscrew the aerator into a bowl. If flow returns, you did not need a repipe.

Condo management may be doing tank cleaning. Ask them before you book a plumber. Landed houses with a pump are a different plant: do not assume the HDB stopcock story.

In-flat bands stay the published ones: S$110 to S$180 for a hose set, S$180 to S$320 for a snapped thread, S$260 to S$450 for a set of valves. Life-threatening fire, a gas fire, or someone who cannot breathe: SCDF 995. A suspected piped-gas leak, from a safe distance: City Energy 1800 752 1800. An electricity supply interruption that is the building, not one tripped RCCB: SP Group 1800 778 8888. Water supply, quality or pressure from the mains: PUB 1800 225 5782.

1. Ask upstairs and downstairs if they are weak too.
2. Check the stopcock and the aerator.
3. If the block is affected, call PUB and the Town Council or MCST.
4. If only one outlet is weak, photograph it and use the tap or valve page.

No new pressure-pump price. PUB handles mains pressure. In-flat fittings use S$110 to S$450 as published on the valve page.

• Plumber versus handyman

Weak water in an HDB or a condo 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.

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.

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.
