About Avantec
Avantec is a part-time helper service operating islandwide from its Upper Cross Street office. KakiList has verified its operating details and contact channel. It holds a 4.8-star rating across 6 Google reviews — a very small sample, so this figure should be treated as directional only. Pricing is listed at the mid-range ($$) on an hourly model, consistent with the Singapore market for part-time cleaning.
When enquiring, confirm the hourly rate and the minimum session length — most licensed companies require a 3–4 hour minimum per visit. It is worth establishing upfront whether you need a one-off clean, a recurring weekly or fortnightly arrangement, a deep clean, or a post-renovation or pre-move-in clean, as these are typically priced differently. Confirm whether cleaning equipment and supplies are included or homeowner-provided, and ask about the substitute policy if your regular helper is unavailable. Importantly, if any helpers deployed are foreign nationals, they must be deployed via a MOM-licensed cleaning company — direct hire of foreign freelancers is illegal under MOM rules and exposes the homeowner to fines of S$5,000–10,000 and a 2-year hiring ban. Before booking, ask Avantec to confirm its MOM cleaning business licence status and whether public liability insurance is in place.
To get started, reach out to Avantec by phone or through the enquiry form on their listing to confirm availability, your preferred schedule, and the applicable hourly rate for your property and clean type.
If the helper is foreign, confirm the company's MOM cleaning business licence before booking — the penalty for hiring an unlicensed foreign freelancer lands on you, not them.
So far, I feel there are rooms for improvement, in terms of the standard of the cleaning service staff who does the daily cleaning… There were times they didn’t keep all the cleaning tools after the job & I find it hard to raise my voice towards their supervisor Mdm Teo who is an elderly…. It will be great if the cleaning staffs take ownership of their work. What I like about Avantec.. 1. They offer very competitive rate as compared with other players in the market 2. They hire elderly and provide them with job opportunities 3. The Malay Guy who does the annual cleaning (on area not able to reach thru regularly cleaning) is very thorough & good in his job. He truly takes pride in doing a good job!
Value for money cleaning services. The cleaning aunties were friendly and efficient. I hired them for moving clean. Would highly recommend to give them a try.

Avantec uses an hourly pricing model, listed at the mid-range ($$) band. From licensed companies in Singapore, typical rates run S$18–25 per hour, with a minimum of 3–4 hours per visit. A standard recurring session (3–4 hours) therefore falls in the S$60–100 range, while one-off deep cleans can run S$150–800 depending on property size, and post-renovation or pre-move-in cleans typically cost S$350–2,500. Confirm whether cleaning equipment and supplies are provided or homeowner-supplied, and whether a fixed quote is available for one-off jobs rather than an open hourly rate. Ask about any surcharges for landed properties or same-week bookings. See the full part-time helper cost guide for Singapore →
Foreign part-time helpers must be deployed exclusively via a MOM-licensed cleaning company — hiring one directly through social media, messaging apps, or third-party platforms is illegal under MOM rules. The penalty for doing so falls on the homeowner: a fine of S$5,000–10,000 and a 2-year ban on hiring any domestic helpers. Avantec should be able to confirm whether it holds the relevant MOM cleaning business licence before you book. Singaporean and PR helpers can be hired directly without these constraints, and no MOM cleaning business licence is required for operators deploying only citizens or permanent residents. Clarify which applies before committing to any arrangement.
Public liability insurance — typically S$500,000 minimum — is standard among legitimate part-time cleaning companies and covers damage to property or items during a session. Ask Avantec for the policy number in writing before your first booking. On substitutes: helpers occasionally take leave or fall ill, and a reliable company will send a trained substitute within 24 hours rather than simply cancelling. It is also worth asking whether Avantec operates a regular-helper model — where the same person is assigned each visit — or a booking-pool model, where helpers rotate. Consistency tends to produce better results for recurring cleans, and matters particularly if you plan to leave a key or grant regular access.
If Avantec isn't the right fit, these are other part-time helper providers on KakiList worth shortlisting. All are independently listed — no affiliate fees, no "featured" sponsorships.
