Steel frames, gates and shelves, quoted from the drawing
A new steel gate, a frame or a run of metal shelves is quote on inspection. The weld we already price is narrower: a dropped hinge welded on site is S$180 to S$350. An autogate board is S$220 to S$450 and a motor is S$480 to S$950. A new railing whose height changes is permit work, not a repair.

How it works
- 1
Send one photo of each piece, the block, and whether the home is HDB, condo or landed.
- 2
We match a band already printed on HomeySG, or we say quote on inspection.
- 3
A layout change, hacking, or a built-in strip-out is named as V On Construction. A truck is not included.
- 4
You confirm the scope before anyone comes. Curtains, blinds and roller shades stay off the booking.
What this job actually is
Metal fabrication Singapore searches mix a new mild-steel gate, a shelf bracket, and a snapped hinge. They are not one invoice. The autogate and gate welding page prices the repair: on-site arc or MIG welding and primer at S$180 to S$350 when the leaf can be propped, a board or limit or battery at S$220 to S$450, an arm or underground motor at S$480 to S$950, and a sliding track and latch at S$240 to S$480. Those rows stay there. This page is a piece that does not exist yet: a frame, a gate leaf, a rack, a planter stand. That is quote on inspection. We do not publish a rate per kilogram or per foot of steel.
A new gate at an HDB service yard or a landed car porch is not “just a weld” because the old hinge once was. If the leaf, the posts and the latch are being made, send the opening, the swing, and a photo of the existing pier. If the work changes the flat’s renovation scope, HDB’s renovation page applies, including a fine of up to $5,000 when a renovation breaches the rules. Applying for approval is the permit step. V On Construction invoices that permit. Homey Furnishing invoices the exempt repair. A hinge weld on a leaf that stays is the repair the autogate page already calls metalwork, not a renovation. Do not stretch that sentence across a new leaf.
Stair metal is the other trap. Re-anchoring a loose handrail is S$250 to S$480. A wobbly glass balustrade with the glass intact is S$350 to S$780. The staircase page already says BCA Approved Document Section C looks for a barrier of at least 1.0 m and for clamps that do not deflect, and that a new barrier design or a height change is permit work. We will not design a new stair as a furniture extra. BCA’s page on works that do not need plan approval is the question to read before anyone pretends a new flight is maintenance. A squeaky tread is S$380 to S$850. It is not a new staircase.
Shelving in steel is quote on inspection unless it is a loose furniture carton, which is the assembly band, or a wall shelf whose first install has no published price. The shop display-shelving page is a mall gondola and a glass showcase, with showcase hardware at S$250 to S$550 when the photo matches. A workshop rack for a factory is not that showcase. Send the span and the load. We will not guess a steel thickness from a sketch with no dimensions. A shelf screwed into a household shelter wall is refused.
We do not publish a welding licence class, a warranty in years, or a powder-coat colour chart with prices. Outdoor steel rusts in Singapore rain. A primer on the hinge repair is part of that S$180 to S$350 sentence. A full powder coat on a new gate is part of the quote, not a line we have printed. Mains power inside an autogate controller follows the autogate page: it is not a new gate. Window grilles, invisible grilles and window repairs stay on the window pages. Curtains are not a metal product.
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.
- Say repair of an existing leaf, or a new piece.
- Photograph the opening and the swing.
- Do not send a per-foot steel rate for us to honour.
- Ask whether the barrier height changes before you call it a repair.
- Keep window grilles on the window pages.
| What you see | Safe check | Stop |
|---|---|---|
| Hinge snapped, leaf can be propped | On-site weld | S$180 to S$350 |
| New gate, frame or rack | Fabrication | quote on inspection |
| Handrail loose, barrier stays | Re-anchor | S$250 to S$480 |
| New barrier or a new height | Permit | V On Construction |
HDB, condo and landed
The building changes the permission and the disposal path. It does not invent a second price.
| Question | HDB | Condo | Landed |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDB | A hinge weld on the existing leaf is the repair row. A new gate can be a renovation. | Service-yard swing must clear the corridor. | Shelter walls are not posts. |
| Condo | MCST approval is theirs, not a metal price. | A balcony railing change is not a hinge weld. | Same repair bands when the photo matches. |
| Landed | Autogate motors stay on the autogate page. | A new leaf is still a quote. | No HDB permit, and still no per-kilogram rate. |
Stainless, aluminium and acrylic are the next pages
Mild steel, stainless and aluminium do not share a price. Stainless and aluminium have their own pages so a 304 rack is not invoiced as a mild-steel hinge weld. Acrylic display pieces are a third page. If you do not know the metal, send a photo of a cut edge or a magnet test you actually did. We will not guess the alloy from a paint colour.
A magnet sticking does not prove the hinge weld price applies. It only says the metal is magnetic. The scope is still repair or new.
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.
| Charge | What it covers | 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Published furniture band | The photo matches a row already on a furniture page | That row |
| Bed frame assembly | The bed row on the furniture assembly page | S$80 to S$150 |
| Wardrobe assembly | The wardrobe row, confirmed from photos | S$100 to S$650 |
| Cabinet door alignment | The hinge-adjustment visit on cabinet repair | S$50 to S$100 |
| Soft-close slides, 1 to 3 drawers | The drawer-runner page | S$110 to S$220 |
| Dining chair seats, 4 to 6 | Seat re-upholstery, not a new sofa | S$240 to S$480 |
| Custom carpentry, a truck, a full sofa re-cover, or rattan binding | No catalogue row for that product | quote on inspection |
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.
- Photograph the hinge and say whether the leaf already exists. A new gate is not the S$180 weld.

Stairs, fences, pergolas and sheet metal
A new gate on this page stays quote on inspection. A spiral stair, a balcony rail, a pergola, a carport, a boundary fence and a sheet-metal part each have their own page so a hinge weld is not reused as their price.
Frames, planters and solar rails are their own quotes
A new gate stays on this page. A furniture frame, a planter and a solar mounting rail are separate quotes. None of them has a kilogram price. We do not publish a lead time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a custom steel gate in Singapore?
Quote on inspection. Welding a dropped hinge on a leaf that already exists is S$180 to S$350. A new leaf is not that weld.
Do I need an HDB permit for a metal gate?
A hinge repair on the existing leaf is the autogate page and is described there as metalwork, not a renovation. A new gate or a new layout can be a permit through V On Construction. Read HDB’s renovation page.
Is a staircase included?
No. Re-anchoring a handrail is S$250 to S$480. A new barrier or a height change is permit work. BCA’s Approved Document Section C, as already stated on the stair page, looks for a barrier of at least 1.0 m.
Can you powder-coat it?
A primer is part of the hinge-weld sentence. A full coat on a new gate is inside the quote. We do not publish a colour price list.
Do you fabricate window grilles?
Window grilles stay on the window pages. This page is gates, frames and shelves that are not a window.
How much is a wrought iron or sliding gate?
Quote on inspection. We do not publish a style premium for wrought iron, or a rate for a new sliding leaf. A sliding track on a leaf that already exists is S$240 to S$480 on the autogate page.
Is laser cutting this page?
No. A dimensioned sheet-metal part is the sheet-metal page, and it has no pierce rate. A new gate stays quote on inspection here.
