Shifting furniture inside the flat, not a house move

Furniture moving within the house is the search for a heavy sofa, a piano-less living room rearrangement, or a bed that must swap rooms before a baby arrives. It is not a house move. The move calculator is explicit about a second address. A shelf or bracket set taken down and refitted there is S$30 to S$55. A TV bracket is S$40 to S$70. Coordination for both homes is S$120 to S$180. Using those lines for a sofa slid from the window to the opposite wall would invent a price. Within one home, the line is quote on inspection.

Dismantling may be required before anything can turn a corner. A wardrobe or a bed that will not pass the door is the dismantling conversation, also quote on inspection, and then a reassembly that might match an assembly row if the piece is actually a flat-pack bed at S$80 to S$150 or a wardrobe at S$100 to S$650. A carpenter built-in that is screwed down is not reassembled at the wardrobe assembly price. It may be a strip-out. Photograph the fixings before anyone lifts.

HDB corridors and condo lifts are the constraint even when you are not leaving the building. Dragging a sofa along the common corridor risks the walls and blocks a fire escape. If the piece must go out and back in, say so. That is still not a published truck rate. We do not supply the lorry. Condo management may want lift protection for a trip that only goes from the 12th storey to the 8th. That protection is access, not a new band. HDB noisy work, if a bed must be unscrewed from a wall, stays in the weekday daytime window.

What is not an in-home furniture move: a handyman hour at S$45 stacked on top of a guess, a single-task call-out of S$55 used as a sofa rate, or the hoarding clearance bands of S$650 to S$1,450 and above. Those clearance bands are for a cluttered or abandoned flat with licensed disposal, not for rotating a sofa in a lived-in room. A tenancy clean that shifts furniture within a room to wash a carpet is described on the carpet page as shifting within the room, not removing pieces from the flat, and the carpet price is the clean. Do not add a moving quote on top of a carpet sentence unless the scope says the furniture left the room.

Anchors matter when a tall piece changes walls. The assembly page wall-anchors tall units on an assembly visit. Moving a tall shelf to a new wall and leaving it unanchored is refused. The shelter wall is refused. A hollow partition is refused if it cannot hold the load. The anti-tip page explains the bundle that does have a price, which is a child gate plus anchors at S$180 to S$420, not a lone sofa.

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 which room to which room, and whether the piece must leave the flat to turn.
2. Measure the door and the lift if it leaves.
3. Do not use the two-address shelf price.
4. Photograph fixings on anything screwed down.
5. Expect quote on inspection.

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.
• Measure the door before you empty the wardrobe. A built PAX often will not leave the bedroom in one piece.

The calculator rows are printed so they are not applied to a single flat by mistake.

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.
