Ashbury's Californian bungalows and Federation homes often sit on original underground pipework beneath established gardens. When a toilet gurgles or a shower drains slowly, Richard Knight Plumbing investigates the line, finds the likely cause, and completes practical repairs to restore flow. This helps local families limit odours, overflows, and further disruption at home.
Many Ashbury homes sit on gently sloping blocks, so stormwater from paved areas and roofs needs a clear path to the kerb. Richard Knight Plumbing assesses downpipes, drainage lines, and surface water flow around your garden or home, then carries out practical repairs to reduce pooling and water damage. This helps keep homes and gardens across Ashbury drier and safer.
When a pipe bursts or the water suddenly stops at your Ashbury home, family routines grind to a halt. Richard Knight Plumbing responds Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm, to assess the problem, explain the required work, and complete practical repairs. We help restore essential plumbing quickly, so bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries are back in use sooner.
Gas lines in older Ashbury homes have often been extended or altered several times over the decades. Richard Knight Plumbing assesses the existing setup, explains the work clearly, and completes gas alterations, installations, and repairs for appliances, connections, and outdoor areas. This helps keep cooking and heating safe and reliable in your home.
Many Ashbury families rely on a single hot water system for busy mornings, so a failure is felt quickly. Richard Knight Plumbing diagnoses the fault, repairs it where practical, and explains when replacement makes more sense. We help you choose a system based on available space, household size, and the condition of your current setup, so routines keep moving.
Upgrading the kitchen or laundry in an Ashbury bungalow is a good time to make sure the plumbing behind it is up to the job. Richard Knight Plumbing installs and connects dishwashers, washing machines, and other appliances, checking drainage, fittings, and water supply first. This helps your new appliances run reliably, without leaks or surprises.
Small faults in an Ashbury home, like a worn tap washer or a tired flexi hose, rarely fix themselves and tend to get worse with time. Richard Knight Plumbing fixes leaking taps, replaces worn fittings and hoses, and checks for early signs of trouble while on site. Careful workmanship and practical advice help you plan ahead and keep your plumbing working as it should.
After decades of heavy rain, the original gutters and downpipes on many Ashbury homes can come loose, rust, or sag over time. Richard Knight Plumbing identifies damaged components, leaks, and water flow problems, then completes practical repairs to keep rainwater moving. This helps protect your home from overflows, pooling, and water damage.

Richard has been managing any plumbing issues I have encountered in my house since pre Covid - repaired and eventually replaced the toilet, got my water tank up and running again, replaced zip filtersetc. Richard is prompt, professional and a great communicator. He leaves things clean and tidy when he finishes and is an inner west local. I cannot recommend highly enough.
Emily Cullen
Richard is not only an excellent plumber but also a lovely human. He was quick to respond when I called him and very friendly, his price was reasonable and he was even happy to pop back out when I had a follow up problem. I'd be happy to recommend Richard and I'll be using him for my plumbing needs moving forwards.

Richard and his team have always been responsive and helpful with my plumbing issues over the last 15 or so years. When I had a hot water crisis this morning a new unit was installed and working by early afternoon. I would highly recommend Richard Knight Plumbing to everyone.

Do you service both sides of Ashbury?
Yes. Ashbury is split between two council areas, but that makes no difference to us. Richard Knight Plumbing works on homes and businesses right across the suburb, Monday to Friday from 7 am to 5 pm. Whichever side of the boundary you are on, call us to check availability and book a time that suits you.
Why does my toilet gurgle when the shower drains?
Gurgling often means water and air are struggling to get past a partial blockage further down the line. In older Ashbury homes, this can be caused by build-up or roots in ageing underground pipes. It is worth having it checked early, before a slow drain turns into an overflow or a bad smell.
Water pools near my house after rain. Can you help?
Yes. Many Ashbury homes sit on gently sloping blocks, so stormwater needs a clear path away from the house. We check downpipe connections, drainage lines, and surface water flow, then complete practical repairs to reduce pooling and damp. Find out more about our
drainage service.
My home is in a heritage conservation area. Does that affect plumbing work?
Most plumbing repairs happen out of sight and are not affected. If a job changes visible features such as gutters or downpipes, it is worth checking your council's requirements first. We work carefully on older Ashbury bungalows and Federation homes, and we will explain what the work involves before we start.
How do I know if my hot water system needs replacing?
Common signs include water that runs lukewarm, rusty or discoloured hot water, leaks around the base of the tank, and unusual noises. Some faults can be repaired, while an older system may be better replaced. We inspect the unit, explain both options clearly, and give you an obligation-free quote.
Can you fix a toilet that keeps running?
Yes. A running toilet can waste a surprising amount of water and add to your bills before you notice. It is usually caused by worn parts inside the cistern, which we can repair or replace. While we are there, we can also check for dripping taps and worn hoses, so small problems are sorted in one visit.
When are you available?
Our hours are Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm, and we are closed on weekends. Same-day service is often available on weekdays, depending on the job and how busy we are. If something goes wrong outside these hours, turn off the water at your meter and call us first thing the next business day.
Can you install a gas cooktop or heater?
Yes. We connect and repair gas cooktops, ovens, and heaters, as well as outdoor appliances such as barbecues. Before connecting anything new, we check the supply, the connection point, and whether the existing pipework suits the appliance. We then explain the work required and complete the job with attention to safe daily operation.
Do you work in suburbs near Ashbury?
Yes. Along with Ashbury, we work across nearby suburbs including
Croydon and
Dulwich Hill, as well as Ashfield and Summer Hill. You can see
all the suburbs we serve on our service area page, or call us for clear advice and an obligation-free quote on your plumbing job.
How do I request a quote?
Call us on 1300 300 941 or
contact us online. Tell us your suburb, the service you need, and a little about the problem. We will get back to you to talk it through, and you will receive an obligation-free quote before any work begins, with no pressure to go ahead.
