Two full-time specialist technicians. Fully equipped utes. WaterWise accredited. We show up, diagnose it properly, and get your system working before your garden dies.
Free consultations for new installations and system rebuilds. For repairs, we charge a $99 call-out and $140/hr — we diagnose and fix on the spot.
It's usually not the first repair that costs the money. It's the second one, after the handyman couldn't find the valve.
Changing a broken sprinkler head is one thing. Tracking a buried broken wire or a dead solenoid is another. Without a wire tracker or a tech tool, most guys spend three hours on something we fix in fifteen minutes.
Good single-operator techs book up fast in peak season. Once they're full, the phone goes quiet. You're left waiting two or three weeks while your garden dies.
Irrigation problems get misdiagnosed all the time. People call a plumber, pay the call-out, and still don't have a working system at the end of it.
Irrigation isn't regulated in WA. Anyone can tool up and call themselves a specialist. Some do, take a deposit, and vanish.
David runs the irrigation side of Preferred Group. 15+ years on the tools, came up through the industry as an apprentice, and now runs two full-time technicians with fully equipped utes.
Preferred Group is a registered member of the industry bodies that set the standard for irrigation and landscape work in Australia and WA. On the register. Verifiable.
Repairs, installations, and overhauls. Whatever the problem or the project, we diagnose it properly and do it once.

Broken sprinklers, pipes, wiring, solenoids. $99 call-out, diagnosed properly, most fixed same visit.

New systems for bare blocks, or before landscaping goes in. We can retrofit into existing gardens too, but it costs more — best to get us in early.

Underperforming or end-of-life systems rebuilt. Often cheaper than patching up a tired setup year after year.

Modern efficient nozzles need to run longer than traditional sprinklers — most people don't know this and end up underwatering. We set your controller to match what your system actually needs.
Specialist job standard handymen can't do. We find what's buried and fix what's broken underground.

Low pressure, poor coverage, hidden leaks. Diagnosed with proper equipment, not guesswork.
"Had three different guys tell me they couldn't find the valve. David's tech found it in ten minutes with a tracker. Fixed the same visit."
"System was ten years old and half the zones weren't working. They rebuilt it properly. First summer in years the lawn hasn't died."
"Called on a Tuesday, came out Wednesday. $99 call-out plus the hour, fixed. Gave me a proper explanation of what went wrong. No BS."

David or Hannah will walk through the details on the phone.
We come out, inspect the system or walk the site, diagnose or scope.

Call David — 0468 031 990Same form. Same fast response. We'll get back to you today.
$99 call-out fee covers getting the tech out to you. After that it's $140/hr billed in 15-minute increments, plus parts. Most repairs are fixed inside the first hour. And if a job runs over and we need to come back another day for the same issue, there's no second call-out fee — you only pay for the extra time.
In peak season, usually within 2-3 days. Off-season is quicker. For same-day emergencies we can arrange priority call-outs at a premium.
No. No honest irrigation specialist in Perth does. Repairs vary too much — a broken sprinkler is a 15-minute job. A buried broken wire might be two hours. We charge by time, not by guesswork. Once we're out there and we've diagnosed the problem, we'll tell you what it'll cost to fix. If you'd rather not go ahead, that's fine — you only pay for the time we've spent diagnosing.
It's a Water Corporation program. Specialists have to meet a standard around water-efficient irrigation practices. You can verify anyone's accreditation on the utility website.
Yes, and winter is actually the best time for new installs. Cooler weather, lower demand, and your system is ready to go the moment the sprinkler ban lifts in spring.
David handles scheduling and fields all the incoming work. He was on the tools for years himself, so you'll speak to someone who knows exactly what you're describing.
