Pricing guide
Price variation is driven mainly by whether the job is a full new installation or a repair/replacement and by the chosen finish level. Premium components and careful reinstatement of turf or paving typically increase materials and labour, while zone count, area and site access also affect overall time and materials required.
New installation vs replacement
Full new installs include complete pipework, valves and controller allowances, while replacement or repair work usually assumes some reuse of existing components.
Finish level and components
Premium finishes often use higher-grade heads, pressure compensation and upgraded controllers, which increase material allowances and installation time compared with standard components.
Surface reinstatement and landscaping
Careful reinstatement of turf, pavers or garden features is included in premium profiles, whereas standard jobs assume minimal reinstatement needs.
Zone count and area size
Hours and material allowances typically scale with the number of irrigation zones and the area being served.
Access, ground conditions and hidden damage
Restricted access, rocky ground or previously damaged pipes can increase labour and may require treating the work as a full new installation.
