Handyman rates in Singapore vary by job, wall type and how many tasks you bundle into one visit. Here are the prices published for common jobs in 2026, and how to get the most out of a booking.
Common jobs and published prices
| Job | Published price (2026) |
|---|---|
| Hourly booking | from about S$49 per hour (platform listing) |
| TV wall mounting | about S$75 to S$140 (bracket usually extra) |

These come from platform listings and guides, and many handymen quote per job. Concrete or tiled walls, large TVs, complex wardrobes and storage beds cost more.
Bundle jobs to save money
Most handymen have a minimum charge or transport fee, so one visit for several jobs is usually cheaper than several visits. List everything in one request: mounting, assembly, small repairs and drilling.
Check what's included
- Parts and brackets: often not included.
- Wall type: say whether it's concrete, drywall or tiles.
- Disposal of packaging: ask if they'll take it away.
- Warranty: what if a shelf comes loose?
When a handyman isn't the right person
Some jobs legally need a licensed professional. See handyman or licensed contractor to know when to call a PUB-licensed plumber or an EMA-licensed electrician.
