MALM, HEMNES and other IKEA bed frames

People search IKEA bed assembly, MALM assembly and HEMNES bed frame as if each name had a tariff. On this site they do not. A bed frame is S$80 to S$150. That is the row for a flat-pack frame with slats, whether the box says MALM, HEMNES or another frame of the same kind. A storage bed or a bunk is S$120 to S$200. The difference is the mechanism and the mass, not the brand story. Send a photo of the side rail and say if the base lifts. If you are halfway through and a cam has stripped, say that too. A stripped cam in a sound board can still be the bed row. A split rail is quote on inspection.

Storage beds are where thumbs get caught. The gas strut pair that holds the platform is S$180 to S$380, matched to the weight of the mattress platform. That row is a replacement of struts, published on the assembly page. It is not the price of assembling a new storage bed, and it is not added on top of the S$120 to S$200 assembly row unless the written scope says both. If the new bed includes struts in the carton and they are simply fitted, describe it as assembly. If an old bed slams down, describe it as struts.

Dismantling is the opposite job. No bed-dismantling price is published. The dismantling page is explicit: we are not the mover, and a dismantle-only visit is quote on inspection. Town councils often count a mattress and a bed frame as two bulky items, and several of them tell the resident to dismantle large pieces before collection. That dismantle, so a council crew can take a loose frame, is still quote on inspection. It is not the S$80 assembly row run backwards. Built-in platform beds that are screwed to the wall can become a strip-out. That is V On Construction when an HDB permit applies. A loose MALM is not a strip-out.

A custom platform bed, a tatami platform or a carpenter bed with drawers that were built in the workshop, is the carpentry guide. No platform-bed carpentry price is printed. Do not stretch the IKEA frame row across a plywood box that was scribed to an HDB niche. Humidity is why those niches matter. A storage bed with a solid plinth against an outside wall can trap moisture. We will not seal the plinth to the floor in a way that covers a weep path the flat needs. If the parquet under the bed is black, the floor page prices a localised patch at S$250 to S$580 for 1 to 3 square metres when that is the damage. The bed assembly does not include sanding the floor.

Mattresses are not frames. One or two mattresses of hot-water extraction are S$120 to S$220. A queen or king urine treatment, both sides, is S$78 to S$280 on the urine page. Assembly does not wash the mattress. A headboard that is a built-in panel needing new fabric is S$380 to S$850 on the re-upholstery page. A loose IKEA headboard in the same carton as the frame is part of describing the bed, not that re-upholstery row. Say which headboard you have.

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. Photograph the side of the carton or the existing rail.
2. Say MALM, HEMNES, storage, bunk, or carpenter-built.
3. Do not stand the finished frame on its corner to turn it through the door.
4. Keep strut replacement off the invoice unless the old struts failed.
5. Use the dismantling page if the bed is leaving.

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.
• Build the frame in the room. A finished queen frame often will not pass a 3-room bedroom door once the slats are in.

Three assembly rows cover the IKEA bed search. Dismantling and custom platforms do not borrow them.

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.
