Same-Day Handyman Singapore: Scope, Price and Booking Guide

Quick answer: same-day handyman jobs

Same-day handyman jobs work best when the task is clearly scoped: drilling, wall mounting, furniture assembly, lock change, silicone touch-up or fixture replacement. Send photos, wall type, item size and address for a faster quote.

Same-day handyman

Locked out, staring at a wobbly gate, or got a TV that won't go up before the weekend? A same-day handyman request is easier to assess when the task, wall or fixture type, postcode, access and preferred window are supplied first. This guide provides planning price bands and shows how to obtain a written scope and confirmed attendance window before booking.

FixMove (registered ALL-IN-ONE FIX & MOVE, UEN 53505530K) comes to you anywhere in Singapore — your HDB flat, condo, office or shop. There is no counter to visit. One number covers eight kinds of work: aircon, plumbing, electrical, handyman, installation, moving, renovation and full-house customisation. We are open 24 hours, Monday to Sunday, and where the work is regulated we arrange the appropriately licensed person.

Visit charges: A S$10 fuel surcharge applies to every visit. No additional standard call-out or inspection fee applies. Urgent service or a customer-requested appointment time adds one S$30 fee, subject to technician availability and confirmation. The S$30 is a separate service fee. Repair, diagnostic labour and materials are quoted separately; work starts only after customer approval.

Bundle Jobs to Reduce Repeat Call-Outs

Booking individual handyman visits adds up — the $60 minimum charge applies each time. Instead, bundle small tasks:

Drilling 5 holes ($60) + Mount 2 TVs ($160) + Smart lock ($180) = $400 standalone, but $320 as a bundle (save $80)
Furniture assembly (sofa + bed + wardrobe) = $360 standalone, $280 as a bundle
Gate fix + window seal + door alignment = $400 standalone, $320 bundle

Snap a photo of each job and WhatsApp the whole list to FixMove handyman — you get one fixed bundle quote before anyone shows up, so there are no surprises on the day.

What Singapore Handymen Should NOT Do (Hire a Specialist Instead)

Anything wall-embedded electrical → Hire EMA-licensed electrician (FixMove Electrical)
Regulated water-service or sanitary pipework → Hire a PUB Licensed Plumber (FixMove Plumber)
Aircon installation → Hire scope-appropriate installer (FixMove Aircon)
Gas appliance hookup → Hire a City Gas (Gas Service Worker) certified technician — not a general handyman
Structural changes (knock walls) → Hire permit-aware renovator
