How to hire a handyman pro in Singapore
- Check the per-job price list — Singapore handymen mostly price per task (e.g. drilling from $30-$60, door repair $60-$150) rather than hourly
- Confirm electrical work goes to an EMA-licensed electrician — required for fixed wiring work in Singapore
- For HDB flats, check HDB renovation rules: hacking, window works, and some drilling into structural walls need HDB permits or approved contractors
- Ask about the minimum call-out charge ($60-$80 is standard) and whether it is waived if work proceeds
- For condos, check management requirements: contractor registration, work-hour windows, and lift protection
- Check reviews on Google or platforms like Kaodim-successors/ServisHero for the specific provider
Singapore requires EMA-licensed electrical workers for fixed electrical installations, and HDB regulates renovation works in flats — certain works need HDB permits or must use HDB-registered renovation contractors. General repairs and mounting are unregulated.

Frequently asked questions
How do handymen charge — hourly, half-day, or per job?
All three models exist. Hourly suits a list of small tasks; most handymen have a 1-2 hour minimum. Half-day and day rates are cheaper per hour and suit longer lists. Fixed per-job quotes are common for standard tasks like TV mounting or door adjustment. For anything over 2 hours, ask for a fixed quote so scope creep is the handyman's risk, not yours.
What is the difference between a handyman and a property maintenance company?
A solo handyman is cheaper per hour and more flexible; a maintenance company brings scheduling reliability, insurance, cover when someone is sick, and multiple trades under one invoice — at a 30-60% price premium. For a single fix, use a handyman. For a rental portfolio or recurring building maintenance, a company usually wins.
How far in advance should I book a handyman?
For small jobs, 3-7 days is typical in most cities; same-week slots are common outside peak periods. Demand spikes around end-of-month moving dates, holidays, and (in seasonal climates) spring. For rental move-out repairs, book at least two weeks before your inspection date.
Do handymen supply materials or should I buy them?
Either works, but agree upfront. Handymen typically add 10-20% to materials they buy — fair payment for their time sourcing them. For anything specific (a particular light fitting, tap, or shelf bracket), buy it yourself first and let the visit be pure labor. Always ask for receipts if they buy on your behalf.
What do handyman jobs cost in Singapore?
Per-task pricing dominates: drilling and mounting from $30-$60 per item, curtain rail installation $40-$100, door lock replacement $60-$150, tap replacement $60-$120. Hourly equivalents run $50-$90. The minimum call-out of $60-$80 makes batching tasks the key money-saver.
Do I need HDB approval for handyman work in my flat?
Routine repairs, drilling for shelves/TVs, and fitting replacements need no approval. HDB permits are required for works like hacking walls, replacing windows or main gates, and floor screeding — those must follow HDB's renovation rules and in some cases use registered contractors. When unsure, check HDB's renovation guidelines before booking.
