Common Questions
Flooring in Siglap: FAQ
How much does new flooring cost in Singapore?
The price depends on the area, the material and how much work the old floor needs before anything can be laid. Vinyl and SPC sit at the low end, tile in the middle, marble and natural stone at the top. Hacking, disposal, waterproofing in wet areas, screed work, skirting and polishing for stone all add to it. We put a price on it after a free site visit.
Is it cheaper to overlay the old floor or hack it off?
Overlay is cheaper, as long as the old floor is sound, flat and dry. Vinyl, SPC and thin engineered timber can go straight over it, which saves the hacking, disposal and screed work. It raises the floor level a little, so doors and thresholds have to be checked. Hacking costs more but is the right call when tiles are hollow, levels are wrong, or the waterproofing under a wet area has to be redone. We tell you which applies after we inspect the floor.
How long does it take to redo the flooring in a landed home?
It depends on the area, the material, and how much work the old floor needs first. A single room is a quick job, while a full hack and relay across a three storey terrace or semi-detached is a much bigger one. Marble adds time for grinding and polishing on site. Timber and vinyl add waiting time, because the screed has to dry properly before they go down, and that part cannot be rushed. Your quote carries the schedule.
Do I need approval to change the flooring in my landed home?
Usually not. Replacing the floor finish in your own house does not normally need a submission to the authorities. That changes when the flooring is part of bigger works, such as raising or lowering floor levels, touching the structure, or making a new wet area. Where a submission is needed, we prepare and manage it with a qualified person, and we confirm what applies to your house at the site visit.
Which flooring holds up best in Singapore's humidity?
Tile and natural stone are unaffected by humidity, which is why they suit ground floors and car porches. Engineered timber copes far better than solid timber here, because its layered core resists the movement humidity causes. Solid timber can cup or gap when a room swings between aircon and open windows. Vinyl and SPC have waterproof cores, and are the safe choice anywhere damp is a known risk.
Can I lay timber on the ground floor of a landed house?
Yes, but the ground floor slab is the risk. Moisture rises through a slab that sits on the ground, so we take readings first and lay a vapour barrier before engineered timber goes down. Solid timber straight onto a ground floor slab is asking for trouble in Singapore. If the readings come back high, or the room sits beside a garden or a wet area, we will say so and steer you to SPC or tile instead.
