Many Annandale terraces and Victorian homes still rely on older clay sewer lines, and roots from mature street trees can find their way into cracked joints. Richard Knight Plumbing investigates backed-up or slow drains, identifies the likely cause, and completes practical repairs to restore flow. This helps homes, offices, and shops avoid repeat blockages and odours.
Annandale sits between Johnstons Creek and Whites Creek, and heavy rain can quickly test older drainage around courtyards and terraces. Richard Knight Plumbing assesses downpipe connections, drainage lines, and surface water flow, then carries out practical repairs to help reduce leaks, pooling, and water damage. This helps keep Annandale businesses and homes safer.
A burst pipe or major leak in an older Annandale terrace can quickly reach floors, neighbouring properties, and walls. Richard Knight Plumbing responds during weekday hours, 7 am to 5 pm, to assess urgent plumbing problems and explain the required work. We complete practical repairs to restore essential services and limit damage to your property and the one next door.
Gas lines in older Annandale homes often need checking before a new cooktop, heater, or oven goes in, especially where earlier work has been added over the years. Richard Knight Plumbing assesses the existing setup, explains the required work clearly, and completes alterations, installations, and repairs with care. This suits kitchen upgrades and new gas appliances.
Space is often tight in Annandale terraces, so a replacement hot water system has to fit the room you have without losing capacity. Richard Knight Plumbing installs, repairs, and replaces hot water systems, explains why the old unit failed, and walks you through options that suit your household. This gets hot water back on with minimal disruption to your routine.
Fitting a new dishwasher or washing machine into an Annandale terrace often means working with limited space and older pipes. Richard Knight Plumbing checks the drainage, fittings, waste connections, and water supply, then connects the appliance for reliable daily operation. This suits kitchen renovations, laundry upgrades, and replacement appliances.
Older Annandale homes can develop small plumbing faults that slowly get worse, from dripping taps to worn washers and tired fittings. Richard Knight Plumbing repairs leaking taps, running toilets, and worn hoses, and gives practical advice on what to watch for next. Regular maintenance helps you catch problems early and avoid bigger, costlier disruptions.
Annandale's mature street trees drop plenty of leaves into gutters, and older terraces often rely on box gutters that overflow when blocked. Richard Knight Plumbing inspects downpipes, guttering, and roof drainage, finds damaged parts and leaks, then completes practical repairs. This helps protect ceilings, walls, and your property from stormwater damage.
Philip Peck
I have used Richard a few times over the past ten years or so. He replaced my boiler when it sprung a leak, replaced a garden tap and pipe, fixed my drains and fixed my kitchen tap and pipes. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Richard is responsive, reliable, professional in his approach, personable and punctual. His fees are reasonable and his workmanship is always great. He also cleans up after himself. He takes pride in his work. I can't recommend Richard enough.
Charlie Macaskill
Richard Knight recently did two plumbing jobs for us: dealing with a hot water leak behind the wall tiles in our upstairs bathroom, and replacing and installing a new gas instant hot water service. In both cases the quotes he provided were very reasonable. He was prompt, careful, efficient and easy to deal with. I can recommend him most highly and I would certainly use him for any future plumbing work.
Laura Cordaro
Richard's a rock-solid plumber that we've used for years in our home and came recommended by our buyers agent. He's installed a gas fitting for our outdoor BBQ and fixed a smelly drain, a dead shower handle, and a leaking toilet. Always quick to respond, thorough, and straight-up honest. He clearly cares about his craft. Highly recommend him to anyone in the inner west!!
Lindy Taylor
Richard has been doing plumbing work for us for about 20 years now. He is invariably prompt, courteous and helpful, very knowledgeable and skilled, and goes out of his way to ensure that every job, no matter how small, is done to the highest standards. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who wants to ensure a quality plumbing job.
Robert Bolton
Richard went to some trouble to find a particular tap set we wanted and we appreciated the effort this involved. Richard's colleague Grant did the installation. The installation had a complication but Grant sorted this out, the job was done quickly and the bathroom was left looking neat and tidy. A definite recommendation from us.
Valerie Howarth

I have used Richard Knight Plumbing for many years for my own home and commercial projects. Richard has proved to be always responsive, timely and handy for difficult problems that require out of the box thinking. I recommend Richard without reservation.

Richard was brilliant when he fixed the downpipe that sits on our neighbours wall, going above and beyond to help keep everyone happy. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Richard is very reliable and his fees are reasonable. Richard came to fix the ventilation pipes at our home and we are very pleased with the result.
Neil Perrett
Richard did a great job of unblocking my drains for me. He was prompt and courteous and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended!
Do you service all of Annandale?
Yes. We are based on Raper Street in nearby Newtown, so Annandale is a short drive away. We look after homes and businesses across the whole suburb, Monday to Friday from 7 am to 5 pm, and can often offer same-day service. Call us to check availability and book a time that suits you.
Why do drains keep blocking in older Annandale terraces?
Tree roots are a common cause. They are drawn to moisture and can grow through cracked joints in older clay sewer pipes. Clearing the roots restores flow, but they often return if the damaged section stays in place. We find the likely cause and explain your options for a longer-term repair. Learn more about our
blocked drain service.
My terrace's box gutter overflows in heavy rain. Can you fix it?
Yes. Box gutters on older terraces often overflow when leaves build up or the outlet is damaged, and the water can end up in ceilings and walls. We inspect the gutter, downpipes, and roof drainage, find the cause, and complete practical repairs to keep rainwater moving away from your home.
What should I do if a pipe bursts outside business hours?
Turn off the water at your meter straight away, which is usually near the front boundary of the property. Mop up what you can and switch off power to any wet areas if it is safe to do so. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm, so call us first thing the next business day and we will help as soon as we can.
Can you install a hot water system in a small terrace?
Yes. In smaller terraces, the hot water system often sits in a laundry, under the stairs, or out in a courtyard. We look at where the current system sits, how many people use hot water, and the condition of the existing setup, then explain the options that fit your space and give you an obligation-free quote.
Do you work on shops and offices in Annandale?
Yes. We work with apartments, homes, offices, and shops, so we understand that a plumbing problem at a business can disrupt customers and staff. We assess the issue, explain the work required, and aim to complete practical repairs with as little downtime as possible during weekday business hours.
Do you charge for quotes?
No. We provide obligation-free quotes, so you know what the problem is, what your options are, and what the work involves before we start. We believe in upfront pricing and clear advice, so you can make an informed decision without pressure or surprises later.
Contact us to arrange yours.
Are you a licensed plumber?
Yes. Richard Knight Plumbing is a fully licensed plumbing business, holding NSW contractor licence 172468C. We have been looking after homes and businesses across Sydney's Inner West since 2005, and you can verify our licence details online through the NSW Government licence check.
Can you connect a new dishwasher or washing machine?
Yes. We connect dishwashers and washing machines to the water supply and waste, and can add a new tap or waste point if there is not one where you need it. Correct connections help avoid slow leaks under cabinetry, which can go unnoticed until they damage floors and joinery.
Do you also work in suburbs near Annandale?
Yes. Along with Annandale, we work in nearby suburbs including
Petersham and
Rozelle, plus Camperdown, Leichhardt, Lilyfield, and Stanmore. You can see
all the suburbs we serve on our service area page, or call us for clear advice and an obligation-free quote.
