Frequently Asked Questions

Costs depend on the property size (e.g., 3-room vs. 5-room HDB or condo), extent of hacking, material choices, and custom carpentry needed. Contact Mahi Interior Pte Ltd at +65 8255 5047 for a free site assessment and detailed quotation.

Yes. We guide and manage necessary submission processes for HDB permit applications or MCST condo management clearances prior to commencing work.

A complete kitchen renovation (including hacking, tiling, plumbing, and carpentry) usually takes around 2 to 4 weeks depending on carpentry fabrication schedules.

Yes, partial kitchen renovations are possible. We install protective dust sheets to minimize disruption to other living spaces during hacking and carpentry work.

A standard full hacking toilet renovation takes approximately 1 to 2 weeks, including mandatory waterproofing curing times and water ponding tests.

Yes. Hacking of existing toilet floor and wall finishes requires an HDB renovation permit. Mahi Interior handles the permit application guidance for you.

Yes. All wall hacking in HDB properties requires prior written permission from HDB to ensure load-bearing walls and structural stability are not compromised. Mahi Interior assists with permit processes.

Yes. Our quotation covers complete debris bagging, removal, transport, and dumping at approved disposal sites in Singapore.

Typical office reinstatement includes partition wall removal, false ceiling dismantling, floor carpet/vinyl hack-off, capping electrical points, reinstating air-con and sprinkler points, patching walls, and fresh painting.

Yes. Mahi Interior handles building management permits, worker clearance passes, risk assessments, and insurance documentation prior to starting reinstatement works.

Non-load-bearing drywall partition installations generally do not require structural HDB permits, provided they comply with floor loading limits and do not block exit routes or ventilation.

Standard hollow drywall offers basic sound isolation. Adding 50mm–70mm high-density Rockwool insulation and double-layer gypsum boards significantly reduces noise transfer between rooms.

No. Singapore Town Councils only assist with a limited number of loose, movable household items (e.g., sofas, mattresses). Built-in carpentry, kitchen cabinets, tile debris, and commercial fittings require a private disposal contractor like Mahi Interior.

All waste is transported to NEA-approved waste disposal facilities, material recovery processing centers, or designated recycling stations in Singapore.

A standard 3-room to 5-room HDB flat usually takes 1 to 2 days to complete with a team of experienced painters, including full surface preparation and protection.

Yes. We use low-VOC, odorless, non-toxic premium paint ranges like Nippon Odour-less All-In-1 or Dulux Wash & Wear, allowing you to move back into your home immediately after painting.

You should upgrade your DB box if it is over 15–20 years old, uses outdated fuses, frequently trips the main RCCB switch, or if you are adding major power loads like multi-split air conditioning or induction cookers.

Yes. All critical main supply connections and load calculations are supervised or performed by EMA Licensed Electrical Workers (LEW) following SS638 standards.

We strongly recommend heat-fused PPR (Polypropylene) or stainless steel pipes. PPR pipes do not corrode, are leak-proof due to fused joints, and handle hot and cold water under high pressure reliably.

Instant heaters heat water on-demand for a single shower point. Storage heaters hold 15 to 40 liters of pre-heated water, providing higher water pressure and hot water to multiple points (rain showers, basins) simultaneously.

A standard residential renovation takes between 4 to 8 weeks depending on the scope of work and statutory approval timelines from HDB or condo management.

Our office is conveniently located at 84 Sing Avenue, Singapore (217922). You can contact us or schedule an appointment from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily.

Quartz and sintered stone are highly recommended for Singapore kitchens due to their stain resistance, heat tolerance, and easy maintenance compared to marble or laminate tops.

Send your floor plan or schedule a free site survey by calling or messaging us on WhatsApp at +65 8255 5047.

Tile overlaying is a fast, cost-effective option if existing tiles are structurally sound and free of active water leaks. If there are existing seepage issues, full hacking and re-waterproofing is necessary.

Call or message Mahi Interior Pte Ltd on WhatsApp at +65 8255 5047 to arrange a free site survey and quotation.

A standard HDB or condo hacking phase (including wall removal and tile stripping) typically takes between 2 to 5 working days, strictly following legal noise hours.

Send your floor plan with highlighted areas to be hacked to Mahi Interior Pte Ltd via WhatsApp (+65 8255 5047) for an immediate review and estimate.

Small office or shop reinstatements take 3 to 5 days, while larger commercial office spaces (above 3,000 sqft) usually take 1 to 2 weeks.

We attend the joint handover inspection and guarantee to fix any highlighted rectifications to secure building management approval.

A full false ceiling covers the entire ceiling area below the concrete slab to conceal wires and install flush downlights. An L-box ceiling runs along the perimeter of the room, ideal for cove lighting while retaining main ceiling height.

For damp areas like toilets, bathrooms, and kitchen splash zones, we use moisture-resistant ceiling boards (green boards) or calcium silicate boards to prevent mold and sagging.

Pricing is based on item volume (number of lorry loads), weight, required manpower, dismantling complexity, and staircase access if no elevator is available.

Yes, subject to lorry slot availability. Send us photos of the items via WhatsApp (+65 8255 5047) to arrange urgent same-day or next-day disposal.

Yes. Sealer is crucial when repainting aged walls, covering dark colors, or working over newly plastered surfaces. It seals moisture, prevents powdery chalking, and improves topcoat paint adhesion.

No. Our team handles shifting large furniture to the center of rooms and fully wrapping everything with protective plastic sheeting and masking tape before painting begins.

Standard HDB flats use single-phase 30A/40A supply. If your total electrical demand exceeds 40A due to high-consumption appliances, we can assist with SP Services submissions for a 3-phase upgrade.

Concealed wiring hides cables inside wall chases cut into plaster for a clean wall look (popular in private condos and landed homes). Trunking encloses cables inside neat surface-mounted PVC casing (standard in HDB flats).

A complete HDB or condo water pipe repiping project (kitchen and 2 bathrooms) typically takes 1 to 2 working days.

Yes. All our repiping and new plumbing installations come with a workmanship leak-proof warranty for your peace of mind.
