A custom TV console is not a TV bracket and not a feature-wall hack

Custom TV console and TV cabinet searches mix a teak sideboard, a feature wall and an IKEA BESTA. They are not one price. A BESTA or any other console that is still a small flat-pack item is S$50 to S$80. A console the width of the living room, with doors, drawers and a niche for a soundbar, is quote on inspection. The assembly page already draws that line. This page is the carpenter console, and it does not invent a foot-run to fill the gap.

The television on the wall is a different trade. The TV mounting page is the first mount. This site does not add a new mount price here. The move calculator prices a bracket taken down and refitted at a second address at S$40 to S$70. That is a transfer. It is not “mount the new television on the new console”. Say which job you have. A console that hides the screen is not a bracket.

Feature walls are where a console quote becomes a renovation. A timber panel screwed to a sound wall, with the original wall left in place, can be part of describing the console and is still quote on inspection. Hacking the wall, chasing a new conduit, or building a nib that changes the room is the permit path. V On Construction invoices that HDB permit. HDB’s renovation page is the rule, including the fine of up to $5,000 when a renovation breaches it. BCA plan approval is the building-work question if someone wants a new structural opening behind the screen. A loose cabinet does not open that question. Clause 7.2 refuses the shelter wall as a fixing for the console or the television.

Depth is the complaint after the piece arrives. The sofa still needs a walkway. A deep console plus a deep sofa can leave a gap that fails in a 3-room living room even when both pieces looked slim in a warehouse. Measure the clear distance from the wall to the sofa front, then subtract the walkway you need. Write the number. Ventilation matters if a router, a console player or an amplifier sits in a closed box. A closed box with no opening cooks the equipment. A new power point for that equipment is an electrician. A grommet is not a new circuit.

Drawers in an existing console that only need runners are the drawer page: soft-close slides for one to three drawers are S$110 to S$220. A hinge on a door that sags is from S$38 a door, or a Blum pair at the hinge-page bands, when the door is that door. Those repairs are not a new console. Curtains on the living-room window are not included, including any blackout cloth someone wants because the television faces west. Glare on a screen is not a reason to sell fabric on this page.

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 flat-pack, carpenter console, or feature wall.
2. Photograph the socket, the shelter wall and the walkway to the sofa.
3. Do not describe a hack as “just a panel”.
4. Keep the TV bracket on the mounting page unless it is the S$40 to S$70 transfer.
5. Match a hinge or a runner before you replace the carcass.

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

Most consoles that “need replacing” have a door that sags or a drawer that sticks. Alignment is S$50 to S$100 a visit. A generic hinge is from S$38 a door. A Blum Clip Top 110 degree pair is S$90 to S$180 when the cup is stamped. Read the hinge page before you approve a new carcass. If the board is swollen, the cabinet repair page is the closer match, and a custom console is the wrong name for a wet box.

Open shelves in the console for a console player need a height you measured, including the cable plug. A shelf that looks tall in a drawing and clips the plug is a return visit. Write the device height. We will not guess it from a brand name.

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.
• Photograph the socket and the walkway. A deep console that steals the path in front of the sofa is the wrong depth.

Hardware rows are repairs. A new carpenter console is quote on inspection.

Anything not in that table is quote on inspection.

WhatsApp the photos to +65 8561 0630. The reply uses a band already printed on HomeySG, or it says quote on inspection.
