Whiteboard installation on a wall that can take the board
A whiteboard is a wide load on a few fixings. Glass boards are heavier than they look. There is no published whiteboard price. A hollow partition is a refusal, not a challenge.

How it works
- 1
Send one photo per task on WhatsApp, with the block and whether the home is HDB, condo, or landed.
- 2
We match each task to a published band, or we say quote on inspection.
- 3
You confirm the scope before anyone comes. Licensed work and permit work are named, not folded into the hour.
- 4
The fitting is repaired and tested. Parts that a row does not include stay off the invoice.
What this job actually is
Whiteboards fail by tearing out of a hollow wall at one end, so the pen tray slopes and the board racks. The fixing is a rail or a set of anchors into something solid, at a height the shortest user can write on. In a home that is often a child or a seated older person. Say the height. We will not guess “eye level” for a household we have not met. There is no catalogue price. Quote on inspection after the board’s size and a wall photo.
Glass magnetic boards are the heavy version. They need a solid substrate and a second pair of hands. A dry partition in an HDB bedroom will not do. Concrete will, on a weekday, with dust on the floor beneath. Condo offices inside a mixed development may be an MCST matter if the wall is common property. A board on your own office partition is still only as good as the stud. We will not screw into a glass meeting-room wall and call it a domestic hook.
Schools, preschools and clinics already have a maintenance page on this site for finger guards, gates and clinical fittings. A classroom board may belong there if the rest of the room is that scope. A single board in a study is this page. We do not publish a school day-rate. Mall offices that can only be done at night are the mall overnight page, S$380 to S$650 for that night scope, not a whiteboard menu.
Cables for an interactive panel are not part of hanging a passive board. A new socket is an electrician if it needs a new circuit, S$220 to S$450 when that DB sentence matches, or quote on inspection for a like-for-like faceplate. Do not ask the board visit to include a chased cable. Chasing is hacking. Hacking is a permit through V On Construction if it is an HDB flat.
Send the board’s dimensions, the fixing kit if it came with one, and whether it is already on site. A board without its rail cannot be hung on the day, and we will not improvise a timber batten across a hollow wall just to keep the appointment on the calendar. Bring the fixing pack that shipped with the board. A board in a shop that has not been delivered is a date we cannot confirm. Corridors in HDB blocks are common property. We will not mount a board in a corridor. Inside the flat, keep it off the shelter wall.
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.
What to do first
Size, weight and whether the wall is hollow.
- Measure the board and photograph the wall.
- Tap for a hollow sound before you clear the furniture.
- Set the writing height for the person who will use it.
- Keep new cables off this visit.
- Expect quote on inspection.
| What you see | Safe check | Stop |
|---|---|---|
| Partition sounds hollow | Do not hang a glass board | Find a solid wall or stop |
| You want it in the common corridor | That is the town council’s wall | We mount inside the unit |
| Interactive screen needs power | Electrician if the circuit is new | Not a screw-only visit |
| Classroom full of other defects | Preschool maintenance page may fit | A single study board stays here |
HDB, condo and landed
HDB studies are often a bedroom partition. Test it. Condo home offices follow the by-law if we drill concrete. A small shop is commercial: say so, because the mall night rules may apply and the residential quote will not.
Landed playrooms can take a long board. Height still needs a number. We do not stand on furniture.
| Question | HDB | Condo | Landed |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDB | Weekday drilling if the fixing is noisy. Not the shelter. | A picture hook in plaster may be quiet. Concrete is not. | Say which wall. |
| Condo | By-law if the drill is noisy. | Feature walls hide conduits. | No facade fixings. |
| Landed | Brick or concrete. High stairs are not the lamp price. | Party walls need a thought. | No published storey fee. |
How you're charged
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.
| Charge | What it covers | 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Per hour | Permit-exempt handyman time | S$45/hr |
| Minimum charge | One task on one visit | S$55 |
| Call-out | The same single-task visit. No separate trip fee | S$55 |
| Materials | Parts, unless a job row says they are included | quote on inspection |
Small, medium, and large visits
Times are planning estimates for the work itself. They are not a promise of when someone arrives.
| Size | Example tasks | Planning time |
|---|---|---|
| Small | One generic hinge, tap labour on the existing outlet, or a socket on an existing circuit | Often under an hour |
| Medium | An exposed cistern siphon, one silicone zone, or two or three small tasks on the same visit | About 1 to 3 hours |
| Large | A typical HDB bathroom regrout, a dishwasher bay, or an exposed storage-heater labour visit | Half a day or longer |
Ways to keep the bill smaller
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.
Price, or quote on inspection
No first-install price is published for this object.
| Scope already published | 2026 band in the repo | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Small hole patch and repaint | S$150 to S$280 | Ceiling repair |
| This first install | quote on inspection | No catalogue 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much to install a whiteboard?
Quote on inspection. No whiteboard band is published.
Can it go on a hollow bedroom wall?
Not a glass or long board. The fixings will tear out. Send a tap video.
Will you chase a cable for a smart panel?
No. A chase is hacking and, in an HDB flat, a permit. A new circuit is the electrician’s band when it matches the DB page.
Do you mount boards in HDB corridors?
No. Corridors are common property.
