Compact cottages and tight side access are common in Balmain East, which can make a blocked drain harder to reach and clear. Richard Knight Plumbing works carefully around older properties, investigates the bathroom, kitchen, or laundry drain, and completes practical repairs to restore flow. This helps homes and small businesses get back to normal with minimal fuss and mess.
Older Balmain East cottages often have sandstone foundations and tight yards, where poor drainage can lead to damp and pooling. Richard Knight Plumbing assesses downpipes, drainage lines, and surface water flow, then carries out practical repairs to direct water away from your property. This helps protect heritage homes and small businesses from water damage.

I was referred by a close friend to Richard Knight plumbing. His professional approach to diagnose my issue was concise and easy to understand. He quoted me a very reasonable price and completed the task easily and left the site completely as if no one had been there. He was in and out within the time he quoted. He has done a complete plumbing build and rebuild of my house plumbing. I highly recommend Richard Knight as your preferred plumber for any of your work. A complete professional.
Darcy Cox
Would highly recommend these guys. Grant came out to look at whether we could add a second toilet to the laundry and was excellent. He was knowledgeable, clear and very easy to deal with, and gave us practical advice that really helped us understand our options. He was also very responsive and accommodating with our schedule. Really appreciated his help.
Matthew Skiffington
Richard is an excellent local plumber (you will actually talk with directly the plumber, not a call center) well known in the area for integrity, good work and communication. Fairly quotes and walks through the details with you, he is highly experienced. Strongly recommended
Sara Coombes
I use Richard whenever I have need of a plumber. He was the plumber on my bathroom Reno and I just keep going back to him. Most recent a toilet blockage and also a dishwasher replacement. He is responsive, friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Christine Royal
Grant installed a new toilet for me several months ago. Friendly, prompt and efficient. He and Charlie assisted with a separate plumbing issue today. Again, exceptional service. I highly recommend and will use their services for all future jobs.
James Rallings
Richard replaced a broken sink for us. When the original supplier said it would take a few months to source, Richard was able to obtain one just a few days. He was always very responsive, friendly and a great price. I would absolutely recommend
Len Hughes
Richard turned up on time and had all the tools and parts to complete the job. The work was done efficiently, and everything was left tidy. Would highly recommend Richard Knight Plumbing and will definitely use them again. Thanks

Do you work in Balmain East?
Yes. Balmain East is an easy trip from our Newtown base, and we look after homes and small businesses throughout the suburb. We work Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm, and same-day service is often available. Call us to check availability and book a time that works for you.
Access to my cottage is very tight. Is that a problem?
Not usually. Compact cottages and narrow side passages are common in Balmain East, and we are used to working carefully in small spaces. We protect your property while we work, explain the job before we start, and leave the work area clean and tidy when we finish.
My hot water system is in a small cupboard. Can it be replaced?
Yes. When space is tight, the replacement needs to fit the room you have while still meeting your household needs. We explain the options that suit your space, help you choose a practical unit, and complete the installation with care. Find out more about our
hot water service.
Why is there damp around the base of my house?
Damp near the base of older homes is often linked to stormwater that is not draining away properly. Blocked or broken downpipes, cracked drainage lines, and poor surface water flow can all let water collect near the walls. We assess the drainage and complete practical repairs to direct water away.
Can you fix a dripping tap?
Yes. A dripping tap is usually caused by worn washers or fittings, and it can waste a lot of water over time. We repair leaking taps, running toilets, worn fittings, and worn hoses, and give you practical advice on anything else that may need attention soon, so small issues are sorted early.
Can you install a washing machine in a small laundry?
Yes. If there is no tap or waste point where you want the machine, we can explain what is needed to add one. We check the drainage, water supply, and available space first, then connect the machine securely so it runs reliably without leaks, even in a tight laundry or kitchen corner.
Will I know the cost before you start?
Yes. We explain the problem, your options, and what the work involves before anything begins, and we provide an
obligation-free quote. We believe in upfront pricing and clear advice, so you can make an informed decision for your Balmain East home or business without pressure.
What if I have a plumbing emergency on the weekend?
We are closed on weekends, so turn off the water at your meter to limit damage, and switch off power to any wet areas if it is safe to do so. Then call us first thing Monday morning. We respond to urgent plumbing problems during weekday hours, from 7 am to 5 pm.
Do sea breezes affect my gutters and downpipes?
Yes. Salt in the air near the harbour can speed up corrosion on metal gutters, downpipes, and fixings. Keeping gutters clear of leaves also helps, as wet debris holds moisture against the metal. We can inspect your roof drainage, point out corrosion early, and repair or replace damaged sections before they start to leak.
Do you work in suburbs near Balmain East?
Yes. Along with Balmain East, we work across the peninsula and nearby suburbs, including
Lilyfield and
Rozelle, plus Balmain and Birchgrove. You can see
all the suburbs we serve on our service area page, or
