Stainless racks and rails, not a mild-steel hinge price

Stainless fabrication is where quotations invent a grade surcharge. People ask for 304 or 316, a kitchen rack, a balcony rail, or a table base. HomeySG does not publish a rate for either grade, or a rate per metre. If the rail already exists and it is loose at the wall, the staircase page re-anchors timber or stainless at S$250 to S$480. If the glass is intact and only the spigots are loose, that is S$350 to S$780. A cracked panel is a glass replacement confirmed from photos, not a gasket. A piece that has to be made is quote on inspection.

Grade is a certificate, not a shine. 316 is often specified near the sea or a pool because 304 can tea-stain. We will not promise that a grade will not stain, and we will not pick 316 for you from a photo of a balcony. If the quote you are comparing states a grade, ask for the mill mark. We will not confirm 316 from a magnet or from a polish. The mild-steel page is the magnetic gate and the hinge weld at S$180 to S$350. Do not send a stainless rack to that weld price.

A new balcony rail on a condo is an MCST question before it is a metal question. We do not sit on the council and we do not publish their deposit. A new rail that changes the height or the design is the permit path the stair page already names: V On Construction, not a weekend weld. The stair page states that BCA Approved Document Section C looks for a barrier of at least 1.0 m. We repeat that sentence. We do not add a second height. BCA’s building-works page is where plan approval starts. HDB’s renovation page is the flat, including a fine of up to $5,000 when a renovation breaches the rules. A landed house has no HDB permit and still has no per-metre stainless price.

Kitchen and service-yard racks must not block a shelter vent or a gate swing. Clause 7.2 is the shelter. A rack leg drilled into the shelter wall is refused. Measure the swing of the service-yard gate with the rack drawn in. A rack that only fits when the gate stays open is the wrong rack. Electrical points for a light under the rack are an electrician. We do not hide a new circuit in a steel price.

We do not publish a warranty against tea-staining, a lead time in weeks, or a brush-finish catalogue. Outdoor stainless still needs to be washed. That washing is not a fabrication visit. Window grilles in stainless stay on the window pages. Curtains are not included.

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. Say existing loose rail, or a new piece.
2. If a grade is the point, ask the seller for the mill mark. We will not certify it from a photo.
3. Check MCST or HDB before a balcony rail changes.
4. Keep the shelter wall clear.
5. Expect the handrail band or a quote. Not a 316 surcharge we invented.

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.
• Ask for the grade in writing if you are paying for 316. A spoken “marine grade” is not a certificate.

Two repair rows exist. A new stainless piece does not.

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.
