Your local Herne Hill reticulation team

One call covers everything watering-related: mains reticulation, controllers, solenoids, wiring faults, and bore pumps if your property runs on groundwater.

Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Swan, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. Our depot in Jandakot puts Herne Hill about 34 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.

We’re a Water Corporation Waterwise Garden Irrigator and an Irrigation Australia member, every job is backed by our workmanship warranty, and we’re rated 4.7 from 230 Google reviews.

What does Herne Hill’s soil and water mean for your retic?

Soil — Pinjarra Plain clay-loams. Fertile but heavy ground: winter waterlogging and summer surface sealing both happen here. Cycle-and-soak scheduling plus sensible zoning handles both.

Groundwater & bores. Groundwater access is patchy on this heavier ground; neighbours' bore experience is a useful guide and a proper assessment settles it. Otherwise, efficient scheduling and weather-based control keep scheme watering lean.

Rainfall — about 755mm a year. Averages about 755mm a year at the Perth Airport M.O. gauge with roughly 79% falling May-September — so the controller should step down through autumn and observe the 1 June - 31 August sprinkler switch-off.

What kind of retic work do we do in Herne Hill?

The Herne Hill jobs we've done to date centre on controller work, solenoid & valve repairs and wiring & fault-tracing. Wherever your fault sits, the diagnosis process is the same disciplined one we run on every Perth job.

From our Herne Hill job book

Rewiring a Herne Hill system from the controller out

A Herne Hill property had its control system rebuilt rather than repaired. A new sixteen-station controller went in, with new 13-strand multicore wiring running to every solenoid valve (the electrically-operated valve that feeds one station) — including three additional valves added in the garden areas.

All the existing solenoid valves and fittings were replaced and new valve boxes installed throughout, with the trenches backfilled and compacted afterwards. Two choices are worth pointing at.

Replacing all the wiring at once, rather than repairing breaks as they appear, ends the cycle of chasing faults through cable that is the same age throughout. And leaving one spare station on the controller means the next addition — another garden area, a tap or a ball valve — needs no new controller.

A new sprinkler was fitted to the front rose bed.

Hear From Our Happy Customers...

"Tom was really efficient and knowledgeable. He knew exactly what to do at my place and had it done and tidied. Gave some advice on how to get the lawn back to being green and healthy. At my neighbour's place where I look after their garden it was a bit different as he was virtually working blind as I was not able to help with what stations came on etc. However it did not faze him and even though it took some time he finally was able to work out what happening and getting it sorted. Also checked the other sprinklers and adjusted to suit and changed timing of retic to suit. I called Perth Retic as last time Justin had come to my place to sort out retic and he provided excellent service as well so I had no hesitation in calling them this time. I would recommend them without a doubt."

Reticulation Herne Hill FAQs

Yes, no council permission needed. Herne Hill is in the City of Swan. Dial 1100 for Dial before You Dig or go online prior to any works commencing on site.

Verge rules by council

It depends on your exact spot — groundwater access around Herne Hill varies, sometimes street to street. We can assess your block's suitability, and if a bore doesn't stack up, a well-zoned scheme-water system with matched nozzles is the next best water saver.

Garden bores in Perth

Herne Hill sits on Pinjarra Plain clay-loams. That soil holds water well but takes it in slowly, so sprinklers can easily apply it faster than the ground absorbs. The most common thing we get booked for in Herne Hill is controller work, so that's where the technician starts. Run times get set to put down roughly 10mm per rostered day, delivered in one or two cycles inside the same watering window, depending on how fast it soaks.

Perth soil types & watering

The same two-day Water Corporation roster as the rest of Perth — Herne Hill is no exception, and bores are on it too. Because the roster keys off your street number, two houses on the same street can be on different days — worth checking rather than copying a neighbour.

Repairs aren't quoted — every system and fault is different, so you book a repair rather than a quote. The technician diagnoses and fixes on site, most faults in the same visit. If a larger job needs parts ordered, we'll tell you the cost before we proceed.
