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
What jobs can a handyman do?
Typical handyman work: hanging shelves, pictures, and curtain rails; assembling furniture; fixing doors, hinges, and handles; patching walls; sealing around baths and sinks; replacing tap washers; small painting jobs; mounting TVs; and general odd jobs under a day's work. Gas work, new electrical circuits, and structural changes are not handyman jobs — they need licensed trades in most countries.
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.
Why do handyman quotes vary so much for the same job?
Three legitimate reasons: experience (a faster pro can charge more per hour and still cost less overall), insurance and tax status (registered, insured providers price higher than cash operators), and demand at the time. Compare like with like: an insured, reviewed handyman at a mid price usually beats both the cheapest and the most expensive quote on value.
Is my handyman insured if something goes wrong?
Only if they carry public liability insurance — ask for proof before work that could cause damage (drilling near pipes, working at height, plumbing fixes). A burst pipe behind a wall or a TV that falls off its mount can cost far more than the job itself. Reputable handymen expect the question.
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 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.
