Which sliding door you have, and which published row fits

A sliding door search covers four different mechanisms, and the door repair page already prices three of them. A pocket door that sticks inside the wall has rollers extracted through the existing opening, S$180 to S$380, without hacking the partition. A condo balcony door with flat tandem bogies is S$220 to S$480. An HDB toilet PD door, the one that slides and then swings, is S$120 to S$220 for the pivot and roller. This page exists so those rows are not copied into a second price list that drifts. If your photo matches one sentence, use that sentence and book from the door repair page. If it matches none, the answer is quote on inspection.

Wardrobe and room-divider sliders are the fourth type. They are on the wardrobe sliding-door page, not here. A soft-close wardrobe roller is not a balcony bogie, and pricing it as one would cannibalise both pages. Tell us if the panel is a wardrobe. We will send you to that page rather than force a balcony price onto a bedroom cupboard.

Hacking is the failure mode. People open the plaster because the pocket door has dropped. The door page’s method is extraction through the hardware opening. A hacked partition is a permit in an HDB flat and a repair of a wall you did not need to open. Condo balcony doors are heavy glass. The MCST cares if the door is a facade element. Book the noisy work, if any, on a day the by-law allows. Replacing rollers is often quieter than a drill, and still not a Sunday promise.

Glass shopfront sliders are commercial. The floor-spring and partition page owns shop doors. A home balcony is not a shop. A mall unit’s slider at night adds the mall overnight scope, S$380 to S$650, which is not a residential bogie price with a night sticker. Say home or shop in the first line.

Send a photo of the head track and the bottom, and say pocket, balcony, PD or wardrobe. A video of the stick helps more than a still of the handle. If the door is also the fire door, stop. Fire doors are not converted into sliders. The hinge and closer pages cover a swing fire door. They do not authorise a new track cut into a rated leaf.

Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, invoices the permit-exempt visit. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, invoices hacking, a new layout, windows that are not exempt, and the household shelter. Homey Furnishing is not a MOM-licensed employment agency and does not place helpers, nannies or caregivers.

The priced door catalogue stays on door repair: alignment and hinges, HDB PD pivots, pocket rollers, balcony bogies, veneer patches and surface-mounted drop seals. This page does not replace that list. It only covers the narrower job in the heading.

1. Name the type: pocket, balcony, PD, wardrobe or shop.
2. Photograph the track, not only the handle.
3. Do not open the wall.
4. Use the matching row on the door repair page.
5. If none matches, expect quote on inspection.

The mechanism matters more than the town. HDB PD doors are common. Condo balconies are the bogie job. Landed patio doors may be neither. Send the photo rather than the estate.

How you're charged

These four lines are the published handyman charges. A job that already has its own band uses that band. The hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. There is no fuel surcharge.

Small, medium, and large visits

Times are planning estimates for the work itself. They are not a promise of when someone arrives.

What a handyman can't do

Permit-exempt fittings stay on the Homey Furnishing invoice. These do not:

• A new cable, a new circuit, or a consumer unit. That is an EMA licensed electrician. A socket on an existing circuit is the S$55 row. A dedicated appliance circuit stays S$220 to S$450.
• A new or relocated water point, or a hacked chase. That is a PUB licensed plumber. Tap labour on the existing outlet is S$55.
• Piped gas. That is a Licensed Gas Service Worker.
• Hacking, a new layout, or the household shelter. That is an HDB renovation permit through V On Construction Pte. Ltd. UEN 201611708H.
• A hole in a fire-rated door that the fire detail does not allow.
• Common-corridor lights, stacks, and letterbox banks. Those follow the town council on the S&CC bill, or the MCST in a condo.

Handyman vs licensed contractor

Ways to keep the bill smaller

• Put several tasks on one visit. The S$55 call-out is one task. Extra permit-exempt time is S$45 an hour, not a second trip.
• Buy the part when the row is labour only. Tap labour is S$55. Toilet-bowl labour is S$168. Instant-heater labour is S$108 to S$260. Exposed storage-heater labour is S$188 to S$380.
• Send the photos first, so the reply can use a published band instead of a vague hour.

WhatsApp the photos to +65 8561 0630.

Rows below are already published elsewhere. This part is quote on inspection when it has no row.

Anything not in that table is quote on inspection. A second trade, when the law requires one, is named. It is not folded into a handyman hour.

WhatsApp the photos to +65 8561 0630. The reply uses a band already printed on HomeySG, or it says quote on inspection. It does not invent a third number in the chat.
