Essential improvements are necessary for public health and safety, and will be fully funded by the Government for Singapore Citizens.

​

They include:

  • Replacement of cast iron waste/ soil pipes

​​

  • Replacement of leaked or cracked uPVC waste/ soil pipes

​

For flats with uPVC waste/ soil pipes, the condition of the pipes will be inspected and will be replaced only if they are leaking or have cracked.

​

  • Repair of spalling concrete and structural cracks

​

The repair involves removal of loose concrete, patching and painting of the affected areas.

Toilet Upgrading
​

The toilet upgrading package comprises new water proofing membrane, wash basin, floor and wall tiles, window vent, toilet door, grab bar and pedestal pan.


If you decide not to have some items installed, you will still need to make full payment for the package.  The uninstalled items will also not be given to you.

​

If you choose to use your own materials under a private  arrangement with the HIP contractor, you may need to top up any additional cost and make payment to the contractor directly.

​

Replace Grille Gate, Entrance Door* & Refuse Chute Hopper

* For non-fire entrance door

​
EASE

Enhancement for Active Seniors (EASE)

Why is EASE offered in HIP​
​

The Home Improvement Programme (HIP) helps residents to deal with common maintenance problems within the flat. The Essential Improvements are necessary for public health and safety while residents can choose the Optional Improvements based on their needs.

​

As an extension of the optional home improvements, EASE provides senior-friendly features to make home safer and more conducive for our seniors. Implementing EASE together with HIP at the same time reduces inconvenience to benefiting households.

​

EASE is offered to all units in HIP regardless of whether there is an elderly person in the household​

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. How upgrading moves in a block

FAQ

2. What does it mean to me? 

I am excited about this and hopes to get all or some of the improvements.

  • Yay! You will be charged based on the optionals and EASE items that you choose. As a Singapore household, the improvements will be highly subsidised based on your flat type. Please refer to the handbook or HDB website for more information

​

I just renovated not so long ago. I don’t want to upgrade my toilets or put in grab bars

  • Home Improvement Program is important and beneficial to our estate. Essential Improvements of the program are compulsory for public health, safety, and for technical reasons.

  • For Toh Yi Estate, this potentially means only the replacement of pipe sockets for a new and modern clothes drying rack. The contractor team will work with you to check your unit for spalling concrete, condition of UPVC soil pipes and  perform a water test for the toilets.

  • By voting in favour, it would mean an organized effort to check the waterproofing of the entire block's toilets, spalling concrete and soil stacks with replacements made where necessary. This would help in ensuring that all our homes are maintained in excellent conditions.

  • We need your vote in favour – to meet the 75% required for the block to enable all units to enjoy the benefits of this program. Please come to the polling exercise to support us.

​

I am a PR household

  • You can participate in the improvement works, but would not be able to enjoy the subsidies given to Singaporean households. However, payment can be made via CPF in instalments with HDB.
