advancer 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 Hi guys i just got a resale flat and sad to say the flat hasn't got its kitchen and toilet pipe upgraded by HDB to the pvc type yet. I understand that HDB upgrades the estates pipe at a heavily subsidised fee (owner pay small amount). I am hoping to benefit from it although there is no announcement to upgrade the sewage pipings. In this case is it possible to ask HDB to provide a contractor and have the piping replaced at the subsidised rate?? Someone please enlighten me here. Thanks a lot!

advancer 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) contractors are quoting about $800 per pipe change, making it close to 2k for the 2 toilet pipes plus the kitchen pipe. I have heard from other forumers can inform town council and they will send their authorised plumber to get all change for only $300+. Can anyone verify this.
