Frequently asked questions

Hiring irrigation specialists

How much do irrigation specialists typically charge?
Costs vary widely depending on whether the job is a small repair, controller replacement, drip installation or a full system install. Jobs that need extensive trenching, many zones, lots of parts or after-hours attendance are typically more expensive. This page shows live pricing to help you compare local quotes.
Do irrigation specialists charge call-out fees?
Call-out fees are common and are often charged separately from on-site labour and materials. Minor diagnostic visits or small repairs may still include a minimum call-out charge, and after-hours or emergency attendance usually attracts higher rates.
Do irrigation specialists need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Irrigation work generally requires a licensed installer or contractor in every Australian state and territory; in NSW licences are regulated by NSW Fair Trading. In Queensland a QBCC irrigation contractor licence or a relevant plumbing licence is commonly used. Providers should be able to supply their licence number and relevant industry credentials, as well as evidence of business registration and public liability insurance.

Using SureQuote

Is the SureQuote estimate a quote, and why can a tradie's quote be different?
No. Your estimate is a guide price for a typical job that matches your answers. A tradie prices your actual job in their quote, once they've seen things like access, condition, materials and the full scope. Read the full answer
What happens after I submit my job, and how many tradies will contact me?
We email you your estimate and a link to your job. Up to 3 local tradies can take it and contact you to quote; only they get your name, phone and email, and you choose who to hire, if anyone. Read the full answer
Is it free to get quotes, and does the tradie's fee raise my price?
Yes, getting quotes is free and you don't have to hire anyone. Tradies pay us a capped fee to take your job, and we set it before they quote, so nothing is added to your quote. Read the full answer
Can I add photos to my job?
Yes. Add up to 10 photos in the chat after you give your contact details, or later from the job in Hire, and tradies see them before they take the job. Read the full answer
Do I have to hire one of the tradies?
No. Getting quotes is free, you're never obliged to hire anyone, and you pay only the tradie you choose to hire. Read the full answer
Does SureQuote check tradies' licences and insurance?
We collect each business's ABN, licence, insurance and warranty details and keep them as up to date as we can, so you can see them in one place on its profile. We don't guarantee them, so always check the licence yourself on the relevant licence register before you hire. Read the full answer
