Pricing guide
Costs vary mainly with the job scope — a simple diagnostic and minor repairs, a controller replacement, or multiple valve/manifold work with short excavation will usually sit in different bands. Requirements such as mains electrical work, depth or extent of excavation, parts needed and after-hours attendance can significantly affect the final price.
Type of service required
Controller replacement, a standard diagnostic visit, and valve bank or manifold replacement each involve different labour and materials and will usually be quoted differently.
Electrical work and mains wiring
Controller jobs that require mains wiring, a new transformer or other electrical work often need a separate electrician and are typically excluded from a standard irrigation quote.
Extent of excavation or concrete cutting
Valve bank replacements may include short excavations, while deep digging or concrete cutting and major reinstatement are generally treated as additional works.
Number of valves or zones affected
Replacing multiple valves or a whole manifold increases labour and parts compared with fixing a single head or solenoid.
Access, site condition and urgency
Restricted access, hazardous conditions, or after-hours attendance can extend the visit time and are commonly reflected in the final quote.
