http://selfbuildardmore.blogspot.com/2008/07/on-going-works.html cost us €16.80 to drill and line it hit water at 90 feet drilled to 120 to ensure good supply, supplied pump also charged €2,020 total.

I was charged €7 per foot for the first 200 feet and then €13 for each foot after. Our well was drilled to 350 feet to ensure a good steady supply of water.

Total cost for the well was €3200, pm me if you want details of a good driller. He was very prompt and didn't push for payment when we had so much going on at the start of our build.

you need to ring a local company for exacts,
The quote is usual made up of 3 parts

1. Price to come out set up
2. Price per metre drilled non-stone(sand/soil) check doest it inc. piping
3. Price per metre of stone drilling

the price per metre drilled of non-stone i higher as they need to put in a pipe to prevent the well from closing up again.

then ask a local who has done it previously how far they drilled
