I carry a full range of gear to repair 99% of household irrigation systems on the spot.
That means I’m also equipped to install any type of system you need.
If you book me for anything other than a quote, expect me to arrive ready to get straight to work fixing your irrigation issues.
In general, it's not possible to provide fixed quotes for repairs. Most of the time, the bulk of the work lies in identifying the location and nature of the problem. With older systems fixing one issue often reveals other problems.
If you're able to clearly explain and photograph a specific issue that needs fixing, I may be able to provide a cost estimate. However, please note that this estimate would only cover the issue you've identified.
I typically quote between $3,000 and $14,000 for new household irrigation systems (Think about how your place compares to the range of gardens around Canberra). Key factors that increase the cost include: Barriers to laying pipes from the water source (e.g. a driveway), number of lawn areas, size of the lawn to be irrigated and low water pressure. Small gardens with no obstacles and no lawns are the cheapest to irrigate. For smaller jobs, I prefer to work on an hourly basis, as this is usually the most efficient and cost-effective option. You can use the cost range above to estimate your likely expenses, considering the diversity of gardens in Canberra—from townhouses to highly landscaped larger blocks.
Getting a fixed-price quote requires more work and shifts some of the risk from you to me. I factor this into my pricing, so you can expect a higher cost for fixed quotes. For larger jobs, this may still be worthwhile.
Please send with adequate explanation

If a site inspection is required to provide a quote, the fees listed above will apply.
Charging for site inspections reflects the time and travel costs involved, and also encourages the use of electronic communication where possible—helping to reduce the environmental footprint associated with driving.
