Renovating in Toa Payoh

What flats in Toa Payoh typically need

Toa Payoh has a large base of older, well-located resale flats near the town centre, refreshed in parts by SERS and newer projects at the town's edges.

Toa Payoh's central, older flats are classic full-renovation candidates: after decades of use they usually need complete rewiring, re-piping, hacking of dated finishes and fresh bathroom waterproofing before any design work goes in.

Getting there is straightforward: Toa Payoh is served by the North-South Line (Toa Payoh), with Braddell and Caldecott (Circle Line) nearby, so booking a site visit and running the works day to day is easy for our team. We cover Toa Payoh Central, Lorong 1-8, Braddell, Potong Pasir edge and Balestier edge, and also work in nearby Bishan and Kallang/Whampoa.
