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 much should small common jobs cost?
As a rule of thumb in most markets: hanging a shelf or a few pictures is under an hour; mounting a TV is 1-1.5 hours; re-sealing a bath is 1-2 hours; adjusting or rehanging a door is about an hour. Multiply by the local hourly rate on this page and add materials. If a quote for one such task equals a half-day rate, get a second quote.
Can a handyman help with a rental move-out repair list?
Yes — this is core handyman work: filling wall holes, touch-up painting, replacing broken fittings, easing doors, re-sealing silicone. Give the handyman the landlord's or agent's inspection list directly, and keep the invoice — it is evidence of remediation if the deposit is disputed.
What is a fair call-out fee or minimum charge?
Most handymen charge either a call-out fee that covers travel plus the first 30-60 minutes, or a minimum of 1-2 hours' labor. That is legitimate — travel and setup are real costs. What is not standard: a call-out fee plus full-price first hour plus a materials 'handling' surcharge stacked together. Ask for the all-in price for your task list before booking.
What should be in a handyman quote?
Even for small jobs, get in writing: the task list, the rate model (hourly with estimated hours, or fixed), materials included or excluded, call-out fee if any, and who disposes of waste. For fixed quotes, confirm what happens if hidden problems appear (e.g. rotten wall behind a shelf) — the honest answer is 'I stop and requote'.
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.
