IKEA furniture assembly, using the bands already printed here

IKEA assembly in a Singapore flat uses the furniture assembly catalogue when the photo matches it. A bed frame is S$80 to S$150. A wardrobe is S$100 to S$650. A small item is S$50 to S$80. IKEA publishes a different fee on its own site. That percentage is not our band. A sofa with no matching row is quote on inspection.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send one photo of each piece, the block, and whether the home is HDB, condo or landed.

  2. 2

    We match a band already printed on HomeySG, or we say quote on inspection.

  3. 3

    A layout change, hacking, or a built-in strip-out is named as V On Construction. A truck is not included.

  4. 4

    You confirm the scope before anyone comes. Curtains, blinds and roller shades stay off the booking.

What this job actually is

1. Photo the cartons 2. Bed, wardrobe or sofa 3. Use the printed row 4. Anchor if it is tall
Name the piece before the price

Searches for IKEA furniture assembly in Singapore usually mean the cartons are already in the flat. Someone bought a MALM, a PAX, a KALLAX, a BESTA or a pile of smaller boxes, and the Allen key won. This page is that visit. It is not a reprint of the IKEA checkout screen. IKEA Singapore publishes its own assembly service, including a fee described as a percentage of the original retail price, a free assembly note on some named sofa series, a call-out for a separate trip, and a per-hole drilling note when assembly was not booked. Those sentences live on ikea.com/sg. They are IKEA prices. HomeySG does not charge that percentage, and it does not discount our catalogue to match it. If you want IKEA own crew, book IKEA. If the furniture is already here and you want the bands on this site, send the photos.

The catalogue that does apply is the furniture assembly page. Small item assembly is S$50 to S$80. A bed frame is S$80 to S$150. A storage bed or bunk is S$120 to S$200. A wardrobe is S$100 to S$650, and a larger multi-door wardrobe is S$250 to S$650 when the photos confirm that size. Storage-bed hydraulic gas struts, if the platform will not stay up, are S$180 to S$380 a pair. An office acoustic phone booth is S$450 to S$1,400 and is not an IKEA wardrobe. Tall units are wall-anchored on the same visit. There is no second line for that anchor unless the job is the child-gate and anti-tip bundle at S$180 to S$420, which is a preschool and clinic scope, not a bedroom bookcase by default.

Product names do not create new prices. A PAX is a wardrobe until the photo shows something the wardrobe sentence cannot cover, such as a full walk-in that is really custom carpentry. A MALM or a HEMNES bed frame is the bed row when it is a frame, and the storage-bed row when the base lifts. A KALLAX that is a small cube shelf can be the small-item row. A KALLAX that is a room divider the width of the wall is not a S$50 cube. Say which one, and expect quote on inspection when no row fits. A BESTA used as a TV console is the same test: small item, or quote. TV bracket mounting on the wall is the TV mounting page. Moving a bracket between two addresses is S$40 to S$70 on the move calculator, which is not assembly of the console.

Singapore flats add three constraints the instruction leaflet does not. Humidity swells a particle-board edge if the carton sat on a wet service-yard floor. Do not assemble a swollen board and hope the cam locks pull it flat. Termites are a reason to stop if the existing timber skirting behind the new wardrobe is already soft. Replacing that skirting is the termite page, from S$240 to S$580 for 10m to 30m of waterproof skirting when that sentence matches, not an IKEA extra. HDB noisy drilling stays in the weekday daytime window the permit guide describes, about 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. A Sunday PAX in a bedroom is not a local exception. Condo by-laws often ban the same noise. The household shelter wall is not an anchor point.

New Taobao and IKEA boards can smell. A spot formaldehyde treatment of up to three new wardrobes or a nursery is S$180 to S$280 on the treatment page. That is a treatment, not assembly, and it is not a claim that the reading will hit a number we have not measured on your flat. Electrical lights inside a PAX are only in scope if they plug into an existing point. A new circuit is S$220 to S$450 when the DB page sentence matches, done by an electrician. We will not tuck a driver into a false ceiling and call it assembly. IKEA own notes also say assembly does not include electrical and plumbing, and that they do not assemble on false ceilings and partition walls. We use the same caution. A hollow partition will not hold a tipping wardrobe.

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.

What to do first

Look at the piece in the room. Do not drag a tall wardrobe across a wet floor to test it.

  1. List each IKEA name and send one photo of the carton label.
  2. Say whether the piece is still flat or half built.
  3. Mark any wall you do not want drilled, including the shelter.
  4. Keep the instructions. Missing cams are not a new carpentry price.
  5. Expect the assembly row that matches, or quote on inspection.

HDB, condo and landed

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

QuestionHDBCondoLanded
HDBNo permit for loose flat-pack. Noisy drilling stays in the weekday daytime window. Do not fix into the household shelter wall.Town council bulky rules are for disposal, not for assembly.A 3-room and a 5-room are not one package price.
CondoThe MCST can limit the hour you drill, and it can ask for a deposit. The assembly band does not change.Service lift booking is access, not a new price.A management form is not a Homey surcharge.
LandedNo HDB permit. Stairs and a void are access. A tall unit still needs a real wall, not a plasterboard guess.Same catalogue.Do not invent a landed assembly rate.

How you're charged

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 may do the work

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

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.
  • Leave the cartons in the room. Building a PAX in the living room and then turning it into a bedroom corridor is how a simple assembly becomes a move.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is IKEA furniture assembly in Singapore?

On HomeySG, a small item is S$50 to S$80, a bed frame is S$80 to S$150, a storage bed or bunk is S$120 to S$200, and a wardrobe is S$100 to S$650. IKEA own percentage is not our price.

Do you charge 10 percent like IKEA?

No. IKEA publishes its own assembly fee. If the piece is already in the flat, we use a printed HomeySG band or we say quote on inspection.

Will you wall-anchor a tall IKEA unit?

Yes, on the assembly visit, into structure. A household shelter wall is refused. A hollow partition that cannot hold the load stops the anchor.

Can you assemble on Sunday in an HDB flat?

Noisy drilling stays in the weekday daytime window. A condo follows its by-law, which often also bans Sunday noise.

Do you take the packaging away?

Packaging disposal is not a silent extra. A loose cardboard run is not the same as a town-council bulky booking. Say what must leave.
