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.

Frequently asked questions

Do irrigation installers need a licence?
Yes — a licence is mandatory for this trade. Ask the installer to confirm they hold the required licence before work proceeds.
Can my existing system be reused?
When replacing or repairing, installers will typically try to reuse serviceable pipework and components. If hidden damage or unusable pipework is found, the job may need to be treated as a full new installation and the scope adjusted.
Do I need a smart controller or premium heads?
Standard profiles include basic controller and head allowances, while smart controllers, pressure-compensating or premium heads are usually additional. If you want premium components, mention them up front so they can be included in the quote or handled as an upgrade.
How will the installer assess my site?
Installers typically consider zone count, surface type, access and any landscaping reinstatement when estimating hours and materials. Providing photos or arranging a site visit can help tighten the scope, and bespoke landscaping work may prompt a more detailed on-site quote.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
