Aluminium frames and racks, separate from a steel weld

Aluminium shows up as a kitchen rack, a poster frame, a light trim, and a window that someone wants “fabricated” when they mean repaired. Repair of a casement stay, a roller or a grille is the window cluster. This page is a new aluminium piece that is not a window: a frame, a skirting cover, a display upright, a rack. That is quote on inspection. The steel page keeps the hinge weld. Aluminium is not that weld. We do not publish a conversion between the two, and we do not publish a section size.

People ask whether aluminium can be welded on site. Sometimes a fabricator welds it, sometimes a corner is bracketed. We will not promise a weld method from a sketch, and we will not publish a welding licence class. If the piece is a window frame, stop and use the window pages, including HDB’s window rules and an approved window contractor where the pane or the stay is the work. A new aluminium window is not a handyman extra. The fallen-window penalties already written on this site are for windows, not for a poster frame.

A balcony or a service yard changes the permission. An HDB flat’s renovation, if the work is a renovation, follows HDB’s page, including a fine of up to $5,000 when the rules are breached. A screen fixed over a corridor elevation is not a living-room rack. A condo MCST can refuse a colour or a fixing on the facade. We do not approve that. BCA plan approval is the building-work question if someone wants a new structure, not a loose frame standing on a floor. Shelter walls are refused as a fixing.

Display uprights for a shop can be the mall shelving page when they are a gondola or a showcase already described there, with showcase hardware at S$250 to S$550 when the photo matches. A one-off aluminium plinth for a product launch is this page and is quote on inspection. The exhibition pages are the booth. Do not fold a plinth, a booth and a steel gate into one number.

We do not publish an anodised-colour list, a lead time, or a warranty against chalking. Outdoor aluminium still weathers. Say whether the piece lives indoors. A magnet test that fails only tells you it is not mild steel. It does not price the job. Curtains and blinds are not an aluminium extra.

Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, invoices permit-exempt furniture assembly and repair. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, invoices an HDB renovation permit when the work is a new layout, hacking, or a built-in strip-out. Homey Furnishing is not a removal company and does not publish a truck rate.

Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking. Fabric window treatments are a different product, and these pages do not quote them.

Look at the piece in the room. Do not drag a tall wardrobe across a wet floor to test it.

1. Say window repair, shop showcase, or a new aluminium piece.
2. Do not apply the steel weld band.
3. Photograph where it fixes, especially a facade or a shelter wall.
4. Keep a new window on the window pages.
5. Expect a quote for anything that is being made.

The building changes the permission and the disposal path. It does not invent a second price.

How you're charged

A furniture job that already has a sentence on HomeySG uses that sentence. Nothing in this table is a fuel surcharge, and the handyman hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. IKEA publishes its own checkout fee. That percentage is not a HomeySG band.

Who is allowed to do the work

The permit guide on this site already splits hardware from a renovation. A cabinet hinge, a gas strut and a drawer runner do not need an HDB renovation permit when the layout stays. A new kitchen or bathroom layout, hacking, or removing a wall does. Fines for unauthorised work are already written there as up to S$5,000. Homey Furnishing does not sign the permit invoice.

• Flat-pack assembly uses the furniture assembly catalogue. Tall units are wall-anchored on that visit. A separate anti-tip price is not printed, except the child-gate and anti-tip bundle at S$180 to S$420 when that bundle is the job.
• A built-in that has to come off the wall can become a strip-out. That is V On Construction if the flat is HDB and the work needs a permit. A loose shelf inside a carcass is not a strip-out.
• Town councils collect some bulky loose items on their own rules. We are not the collector, and we do not publish their fee.
• A new cable inside a wardrobe is an electrician. Assembly does not include a new circuit.
• Do not anchor into a household shelter wall. The permit guide already keeps TV brackets and shelves off that wall.
• A hollow partition or a false ceiling is a poor anchor for a tall wardrobe. If the fixing cannot reach structure, the visit stops.
• Active termites are not painted over. Skirting and door-frame replacement after damage uses the termite page bands. We do not claim to be the pest-control operator.
• Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not quoted here.

Ways to keep the bill smaller

• Photograph every piece before a carpenter is booked. A hinge visit is not a new kitchen.
• Put the flat-pack in the room where it will stand. Carrying a built wardrobe down an HDB corridor is a second job.
• If the drawer only sticks, use the published slide row. A new carcass is the cabinet page, and only when the board is swollen.
• Book the town council bulky slot before you pay anyone to truck a loose sofa. Many councils collect a limited number of loose items. Built-ins are usually excluded.
• Do not ask for the steel weld price on an aluminium corner. The metals do not weld the same way.
