Handyman near me, without a fake distance ranking
“Near me” in Singapore is a block, a lift and a town council, not a map pin we rank. The workshop is at 27 Mandai Estate. The bands do not change because the block is closer.

How it works
- 1
Send one photo per task on WhatsApp, with the block and whether the home is HDB, condo, or landed.
- 2
We match each task to a published band, or we say quote on inspection.
- 3
You confirm the scope before anyone comes. Licensed work and permit work are named, not folded into the hour.
- 4
The fitting is repaired and tested. Parts that a row does not include stay off the invoice.
What this job actually is
A phone that searches “handyman near me” is asking for someone who will actually reach the block. Homey Furnishing’s registered address is 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931. North and central blocks are a shorter drive from that workshop than a block in the east or west. This page does not turn that geography into a minute’s promise, a “nearest crew” badge, or a cheaper band for Woodlands than for Tampines. No travel fee is published. No town is excluded.
What does change by location is who else you may have to call. HDB common property, corridor lights, and a choked common stack are the town council named on your S&CC bill. The Town Councils (Declaration) Order 2025 redrew towns, so a memory of “my old council” can be wrong. Private condos answer to the MCST, not to a town council. Landed houses have neither, and still have PUB and BCA when the work leaves the house. Send the town with the photos so the reply can say “that leak is the council” instead of booking a private visit for a common pipe.
The town pages linked below are not copies of this page with the estate name swapped. Tampines, Punggol, Sengkang, Woodlands, Jurong West, Bukit Batok and Ang Mo Kio each have different councils, different ages of blocks, and different mixes of BTO defects versus old spalling. If you live in one of them, read that page for the local permission. Use this page for the booking logic. Use the price list for the dollars. A job in Queenstown or Bedok uses the same bands and the same photo rule even though it does not have its own long-tail page yet.
“Near me” also gets misused as a reason to hire whoever knocked on the door. A corridor offer that starts with a drill on a fire door, or a promise to “settle the DB today” without an electrician, is not nearer in any useful sense. The digital-lock rules and the DB bands apply in every town. Hinge tightening is still S$60 to S$120 when that is the fault. A valve set is still S$110 to S$180. Proximity does not discount a fire door and it does not license a cable.
Send the block number, the nearest MRT only if it helps describe the entrance, and one photo per task. Say if the lift is under replacement or the loading bay needs a booking. Those facts decide the slot. They do not decide a new price. If we cannot attend as soon as you hoped, that is a scheduling reply, not a distant-town surcharge. Life-threatening emergencies stay with SCDF on 995, wherever the block is.
Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, invoices the permit-exempt visit. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, invoices hacking, a new layout, windows that are not exempt, and the household shelter.

What to do first
Location is for access and for the council. It is not a fifth price column.
- Send the block, the unit and HDB, condo or landed.
- Read the town page if your estate is one of the seven with its own guide.
- Check the S&CC bill or the MCST before you assume who owns a common leak.
- Match each task to a published band or to quote on inspection.
- Do not pay a corridor offer that will not write the scope down.
| What you see | Safe check | Stop |
|---|---|---|
| You only know the MRT, not the block | The council follows the block | A station name is not a price |
| A seller says nearer means cheaper | No travel discount is published | The band is the fitting |
| The leak is in the corridor | That may be the town council | Do not pay a private visit for common property |
| You want the crew that is already downstairs | Still match the fire-door and licence rules | Proximity is not a licence |
HDB, condo and landed
HDB blocks share a corridor and a stack. The photo at the top of this page is an HDB corridor in Singapore. It is not a photo of your town. Condo blocks share a lobby and a by-law. Landed streets share neither, and the van still has to park. Tell us which of the three it is so the first question is the right one.
If the estate is outside the seven town pages, you have not been forgotten. The handyman service and the price list apply islandwide. A town page is extra local detail, not a boundary of where we work.
| Question | HDB | Condo | Landed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rules | Town Council hours for noise. Permit only for a hack or a new layout. | MCST by-laws, shutdowns and deposits. | No HDB permit. Structure and new sewers still sit outside a handyman visit. |
| This page | Name the block. The town council on the S&CC bill owns common property. | Name the development. The MCST owns the common property and the noisy-work rule. | Name the street. There is no town council for the house itself. |
| Money | Published bands only. Everything else is quote on inspection. | Same bands. The deposit is not a Homey fee. | Same bands. Height is priced only when a page already prints it. |
How you're charged
How you're charged
These four lines are the published handyman charges. A job that already has its own band uses that band. The hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. There is no fuel surcharge.
| Charge | What it covers | 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Per hour | Permit-exempt handyman time | S$45/hr |
| Minimum charge | One task on one visit | S$55 |
| Call-out | The same single-task visit. No separate trip fee | S$55 |
| Materials | Parts, unless a job row says they are included | quote on inspection |
Small, medium, and large visits
Times are planning estimates for the work itself. They are not a promise of when someone arrives.
| Size | Example tasks | Planning time |
|---|---|---|
| Small | One generic hinge, tap labour on the existing outlet, or a socket on an existing circuit | Often under an hour |
| Medium | An exposed cistern siphon, one silicone zone, or two or three small tasks on the same visit | About 1 to 3 hours |
| Large | A typical HDB bathroom regrout, a dishwasher bay, or an exposed storage-heater labour visit | Half a day or longer |
Ways to keep the bill smaller
Ways to keep the bill smaller
- Put several tasks on one visit. The S$55 call-out is one task. Extra permit-exempt time is S$45 an hour, not a second trip.
- Buy the part when the row is labour only. Tap labour is S$55. Toilet-bowl labour is S$168. Instant-heater labour is S$108 to S$260. Exposed storage-heater labour is S$188 to S$380.
- Send the photos first, so the reply can use a published band instead of a vague hour.
WhatsApp the photos to +65 8561 0630.
Price, or quote on inspection
Near me does not have its own rate card. These are the same bands as everywhere else.
| Scope already published | 2026 band in the repo | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Door alignment or hinge tightening | S$60 to S$120 | Door repair |
| Bidet spray, hose and brass angle valve | S$110 to S$180 | Angle valve page |
| Small hole patch and repaint | S$150 to S$280 | Ceiling repair |
| Travel surcharge by town | quote on inspection | Not published |
Anything not in that table is quote on inspection. A second trade, when the law requires one, is named. It is not folded into a handyman hour.
WhatsApp the photos to +65 8561 0630. The reply uses a band already printed on HomeySG, or it says quote on inspection. It does not invent a third number in the chat.

Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. is at 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931. Visits are booked across Singapore. No town surcharge is published.
Do you cover my estate if it has no town page?
Yes. The seven town pages add local council notes. Every other estate uses the same handyman bands and the same photo booking.
Will someone nearby arrive in a fixed number of minutes?
No. We do not publish a response-time statistic. The slot is confirmed after the photos, subject to noisy-work hours and access.
Is a common-corridor leak a handyman job?
Often it is the town council. Check the S&CC bill. A private ceiling stain after the source is fixed can be the hairline repaint band of S$150 to S$400.
