Why you should use Retic Renovation - and why you shouldn't use us!

Yes we do! We can fix just about anything – however we don’t do small jobs. Our minimum is 2 hours – If we can fix your issue in under an hour we will do so then and there!

Please see the map on this page

Unfortunately, no. In these situations, we offer a comprehensive consultation-only service for $330 an hour. You can pick our brains on site and get the advice you need! Due to the high volume of inquiries and the fact we are normally on the tools or working on proposals for our clients, we unfortunately do not have time for questions or free reticulation advice. You can always try commenting on one of our social media posts and if we get time we will try to reply to it.

No, we work on an hourly rate and bill for all our time spent on the job. This includes consulting, organising materials, and onsite planning, materials are additional. There is also an initial consultation fee. See our process here.

Good question. Firstly, many reticulation repair companies charge a call out and charge per hour. We are far from being the only company doing this. The most honest answer is that often reticulation has been devalued by people doing cheap quotes and poor-quality work. Anyone can install it as it’s not a registered trade and this has resulted in a very large amount of extremely substandard reticulation systems in Perth. Charging by the hour means that we can spend the time needed on a project to complete the work properly and not cut corners. Unfortunately, we live in a world where time is money and reticulation can take a lot of time up, talking about it, looking at it, and diagnosing it. Charging for our time means we can put our heart and soul into each job for you, but also means we are compensated for our time.

We work hard to also set ourselves apart and run a different type of business. For example, we are not really in the ‘irrigation game’. We are in the ‘make your lawn and garden beautiful, green, and healthy game’. There is a big difference.

If you do a bit of research, typically the range for a reticulation contractor that knows what they are doing and has all the tools and parts is normally $70 per hour to $200 per hour. That’s a pretty big range hey! You may be left thinking, what in the name of retic is going on?

There is also a large range in not only the quality of work, but also the quality of the advice and customer service. While I’m sure that a cheaper provider does not always mean poorer quality work, you know how it goes. Your cheapest quote can end up costing you dearly. You get what you pay for. Again, this is not always guaranteed. People also pay good money for poor work all the time which leads me to my next point.
The most important thing you can do is find someone you can trust who will do a good job and who is right for you. Do you just need a basic service and few heads changed? Well get a mid-level provider. Need a more boutique business to help you? Reach out and find someone who aligns with what you want but make sure they are trustworthy, have a good track record, and will deliver for you.

After all, price is what you pay but value is what you get. We seek to add value in everything we do.

One thing I know for sure is that a very large proportion of irrigation systems in WA are very poorly installed and we have over 20 years expertise, are passionate about what we do, and will do the job properly.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. People use us because they want to.

We specialise in overhauling/renovating reticulation systems and don’t do urgent or very small repairs. If we were to do urgent smaller repairs, we would spend all our time doing this and wouldn’t have the time to dedicate to our renovations. Not only that, but it would be very disruptive from a planning perspective and for our clients having to fit lots of urgent repairs in while we are completing projects already pre-booked well in advance. There are lots of businesses out there already who do this type of work.
