Repairs in an older HDB flat, before the style

This visit is the repair list on the old-flat guide: concrete, the consumer unit, and the small joinery after those are understood. A small spalling patch is S$150 to S$300 on the ceiling page. If the steel is in a beam or the concrete keeps falling, stop. Homey Furnishing is not a professional engineer and not a Qualified Person. BCA describes who that is. Painting over rust is refused.

The DB page is S$138 to S$480 for a like-for-like breaker, S$55 for a socket on an existing circuit, S$220 to S$450 for a dedicated circuit, and S$480 to S$780 for an HDB 12-way to 18-way board. Pre-1985 flats are in that page’s EMA 30mA note. Confirm the board rather than the decade you were told. HDB’s renovation page still applies if the work becomes a hack. Hours are the hours guide. A hinge from S$38 is not a hack.

Windows: we repair stays and seals when the frame stays, on the window pages. Replacement is an approved window contractor. We are not one. Grilles are the grille pages. A shelter wall is refused. Clause 7.2 does not expire with the building. Hollow tiles are S$350 to S$750 for four to ten intact tiles. A wardrobe against a wet wall waits. Carpentry is quote on inspection. A 3-room move-in package is S$888 and is not this restoration.

Maisonettes and HUDC are the other guide. Do not book this page for a stair void and expect the patch price to include the stair. A loose rail is S$250 to S$480. Send the right photo. We do not publish a ceiling height for your block.

Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, invoices permit-exempt maintenance. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, invoices hacking, a new layout, and other work that needs an HDB renovation permit. Homey Furnishing is not a Council for Estate Agencies licensed estate agent and does not sell, rent or market flats. It is not a Ministry of Manpower licensed employment agency and does not place helpers.

Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking. This page also does not sell or rent the home, and it does not place a domestic worker.

Photograph the fitting before you buy a product or book a hack.

1. Photograph spalling and the open DB.
2. Do not paint first.
3. Say if the windows are to be replaced. That is not us.
4. Keep hacking on the weekday clock.
5. Quote joinery after the repairs are named.

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

A structural report, a window contract, a full rewire drawn as “points included”, and a style package. Each of those is named or it is absent. The quote guide explains why a single number hides them.

If the flat is a maisonette, say so. The stair is a different page. We would rather re-route you than fold a void into a patch.

How you're charged

A job that already has a sentence on HomeySG uses that sentence. The hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. There is no fuel surcharge. A whole-flat repaint, a private defect-scan fee, and a litre of a named paint brand are not in the catalogue.

Who is allowed to do the work

HDB’s important information on renovation says renovation in a flat, including some work that does not need a permit, is carried out by a contractor from the Directory of Renovation Contractors. The same page says failing to use a listed contractor for renovations, or breaching the renovation rules, can lead to a fine of up to $5,000. That sentence is HDB’s. It is not a ruling on your flat. Read the page before you treat a handyman visit as a renovation.

• Permit-exempt maintenance that already has a band, such as a hinge, a silicone joint or a small hole patch, stays on the Homey Furnishing invoice.
• Hacking, a new layout, and replacement of toilet finishes inside HDB’s restriction period move to V On Construction Pte. Ltd. UEN 201611708H. The price of that permit scope is quote on inspection.
• A new cable or a consumer unit is an EMA licensed electrician. A new water point is a PUB licensed plumber. Piped gas is a licensed gas worker.
• Window installation and replacement on an HDB flat is a BCA approved window contractor on HDB’s directory, with a renovation permit first. BCA describes workhead RW01. Homey Furnishing is not that contractor.
• Selling, renting or marketing the flat is estate agency work. CEA registers property agents. We do not do that work.
• A weekly cleaner on this site is not a migrant domestic worker placement. We do not hire out helpers.
• Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking.

Ways to keep the bill smaller

• Photograph every mark before you book a full repaint. A hole that matches the S$150 to S$280 sentence does not need a whole-flat price.
• Put several permit-exempt tasks on one visit. The S$55 call-out is one task. Further permit-exempt time is S$45 an hour, not a second trip.
• Report a new-flat defect to HDB, or the developer if the contract says so, before you pay anyone to cover it.
• Do not hack a bathroom floor to “save” a later leak. HDB’s three-year restriction exists so the flat below stays dry.
• Open the DB and photograph the spalling in daylight. A flash photo hides the rust.

WhatsApp the photos to +65 8561 0630.

Repairs that match a row are the row. Everything else is quote on inspection.

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.
