Hourly Rates & Call-Out Fees
Most handymen in Singapore charge per job rather than by the hour. The structures below are typical 2026 reference rates — your exact figure is confirmed in writing on WhatsApp (or by the technician on-site) before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Drilling & Wall Mounting
A commonly quoted drilling and mounting scope — from simple picture hooks to heavy TV brackets.
Furniture Assembly
Flat-pack furniture from IKEA, Taobao and other brands — assembled at your home.
Door Lock Replacement & Digital Lock
Installation labour cost only — lock purchase is separate unless bundled.
Curtain Rod & Blind Installation
Bundled Visit Packages
Have a list? Bundling several small jobs into one visit means you pay the call-out once instead of per task — usually the cheapest way to clear a whole to-do list in one planned visit. Send your list on WhatsApp and we'll suggest the best-value bundle. Typical bundle rates below.

What Affects Handyman Pricing?
Wall Type
Concrete walls are standard. Marble, tile, granite or glass walls need special drill bits and techniques — expect a S$40–60 surcharge per job.
Number of Tasks
Bundling 3–5 tasks in one visit is far more cost-effective than booking each separately. Call-out fee is paid once.
Item Complexity
A PAX wardrobe takes 2–3 hours to assemble. A simple shelf takes 15 minutes. Complexity drives cost more than quantity.
Timing
Weekday daytime slots are cheapest. Weekends, evenings and public holidays carry 20–50% surcharges.
Materials Included?
Labour rates exclude materials. Brackets, screws and basic fixings may be included, but items like locks, rods and boards are charged separately — always itemised in your quote so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Access & Location
Walk-up flats without lift access, restricted condo hours, or remote locations may add to the final cost.
