Hoarding clearance, abandoned units and biohazard disinfection
Hoarding and biohazard cleaning in Singapore is S$650 to S$1,450 for a stage 1 or 2 clutter clearance of a 1 to 3 room HDB or studio, S$1,500 to S$2,800 for a stage 3 or 4 full-flat clearance, and S$850 to S$2,200 for biohazard fogging of an unattended or heavily infested unit.

Clear the fuel, then disinfect, then repair
A hoarded flat is a fire load and a vector site before it is a painting job. The order is sort, remove, fog, then the handyman. Skipping the fog and painting over it brings the smell back.
| What you see | Likely cause | What to do first / typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| An abandoned rental with baggable rubbish and a few bulky items | Stage 1 or 2. The floor is still visible in places | S$650 to S$1,450 including licensed disposal |
| Rooms you cannot walk through | Stage 3 or 4. Sorting has to be slow | S$1,500 to S$2,800, with Town Council bulky coordination |
| Maggots, a strong ammonia smell, or a unit unattended after a death | Biohazard, not a domestic mop | ULV fogging and enzyme treatment: S$850 to S$2,200 |
| The landlord wants the flat rentable, not only empty | Walls are stained and fittings are broken | Turnkey package: S$1,800 to S$3,800 |
2026 hoarding and biohazard bands
Price a clearance on the cleaning calculator under hoarding. Ordinary empty-unit handover, with no infestation, is end-of-tenancy cleaning. Repainting a wall that is already clean is painting.
