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.

I was very happy with the service from Richard Knight Plumbing. Just like many owners in my building, who recommended Richard and his team, I will be using them again for any future plumbing work. Thanks Richard and Grant!

Do you service all of Dulwich Hill?
Yes. We work right across Dulwich Hill, covering houses, shops, and unit blocks throughout the suburb. We are based in Newtown and work across the Inner West Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm. Same-day service is often available, so call us to check availability and book a time.
Who is responsible for pipes in a unit block?
It depends on where the pipe is. Generally, pipes that serve only your unit are the owner's responsibility, while shared pipes are usually managed by the strata. Your strata by-laws and manager can confirm this. We can assess the problem and explain what we find, so the right party can approve the repair.
Does my home's drainage matter if the area is flood-prone?
Yes. Parts of Dulwich Hill drain toward the Hawthorne Canal, and heavy rain can arrive suddenly. Good property drainage will not stop a flood, but it helps move everyday stormwater away from your home. We check downpipes, drainage lines, and pits. Read more about our
drainage service.
Water is bubbling up from the drain outside. What does that mean?
Water overflowing from an outdoor gully or drain often points to a blockage further down the sewer line. It is best not to use showers, toilets, or washing machines until it is checked. Call us during business hours, and we will investigate the cause and complete practical repairs to restore flow.
Can you replace a hot water system in a unit?
Yes. Hot water systems in units often sit in tight cupboards or on balconies, so the new system needs to fit the space and suit the people living there. We explain the available options, help you choose a practical solution, and complete the work with care. Quotes are always obligation-free.
Can you install a dishwasher in my unit kitchen?
Yes. In a unit, a leaking dishwasher can damage your floor and the ceiling of the unit below, so a secure connection matters. We check the tap, waste point, and space under the bench, then install the dishwasher and run it to check for leaks before we leave.
Will I know the price before work begins?
Yes. We explain the issue, your options, and what the work involves before we start, and we provide an obligation-free quote. Upfront pricing means you know what to expect from day one, so you can make an informed decision without any pressure.
Contact us to arrange yours.
What happens if I have a problem after hours?
Our hours are Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm. Outside these times, turn off the water at the meter or your unit's isolation tap to limit damage, and let your strata manager know if a shared area is affected. Then call us first thing the next business day and we will help as soon as we can.
Do you work in suburbs near Dulwich Hill?
Yes. Along with Dulwich Hill, we work in nearby suburbs including
Ashbury and
Petersham, plus Hurlstone Park, Lewisham, Marrickville, 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.
Do you help local shops and businesses?
Yes. We work with offices and shops as well as homes, and we understand that a plumbing problem 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 hours.
