Home services in Singapore span every practical issue a flat, condo, or landed home throws up — from a choked kitchen drain at 10pm to a full BTO renovation that runs for six months. KakiList lists 4478 verified home-services providers across 14 specialisms: plumbing, electrical, aircon servicing, house cleaning, pest control, handyman work, painting, moving, locksmith, renovation, gardening, curtains and blinds, pool cleaning, and EV charger installation.
What makes home services in Singapore different from other markets is density plus diversity. An HDB estate in Tampines has the same plumbers calling across forty blocks in an afternoon, while landed homes in Bukit Timah need specialists who understand older pipe networks and larger-scope works. Pricing reflects this — the same job can run 20–40% more at a landed property than at an HDB, mostly because of access, scope, and longer service runs. Condos sit in the middle and often require the management office to approve contractors before work can start.
The biggest pitfall most homeowners hit isn't finding a provider — it's picking between a handful of acceptable ones. Singapore's home services market has a long tail of independent operators, a handful of franchise outfits, and a growing number of listing sites that take a 10–20% cut before passing leads along. KakiList skips that layer entirely: every provider on this page is listed independently, and you contact them directly via WhatsApp or phone with no middleman markup.
For any home services job you're planning, the checklist is consistent. Confirm the quote includes materials, transport, GST, and any minimum call-out charge. Check the provider is ACRA-registered — every listing here shows the UEN when available. For jobs above S$500, ask for a written itemised quote before work begins. For larger renovations, confirm the provider carries public liability insurance, since they'll be in your home for weeks. Below you'll find the full service list with live provider counts, typical price ranges per job type, editorial top picks across specialisms, and internal links to every major Singapore neighbourhood.

It depends on the service. Plumbers need a PUB licence for water service works, electricians need EMA licensing, and aircon technicians should carry BCA registration. Handymen and painters have no single regulatory body, so reputation and ACRA registration become the main trust signals. Always ask for relevant credentials before major jobs.
For plumbing, electrical, and locksmith emergencies, many KakiList providers respond within 1-2 hours during business hours and offer 24/7 callouts at a surcharge of 30-50% over daytime rates. WhatsApp contact is usually faster than phone calls — providers can scope the job from photos before dispatching.
Yes, typically 10-20% more for condos (management approvals, lift bookings) and 20-40% more for landed properties (larger scope, longer pipe/cable runs). Some condos require approved contractors only — check with management before booking.
