From happy customers

  • 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.

  • Richard was professional and courteous when at my house. He was on time and explained exactly what the issue was or what needed to be done, then got on with the job quickly and efficiently. I have used RKP for gas fitting, plumbing and blockages. He would be the Plumber I would recommend especially if you live in the Inner West. We are planning on doing our bathroom soon and I will be calling on Richard again for a quote

    Matt C
  • 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.

    Charlie Macaskill
  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer same-day service in Leichhardt?

    Yes, same-day service is often available on weekdays, depending on the job and our schedule. We are based in Newtown and work across Leichhardt Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm. Call us early in the day for the best chance of a same-day booking, and we will let you know when to expect us.

  • Parts of Leichhardt flood in heavy rain. Can good drainage help?

    Areas of Leichhardt drain toward the Hawthorne Canal and can be affected by flash flooding. Property drainage will not stop a flood, but it helps move everyday stormwater away from your home or business. We check downpipes, drainage lines, and stormwater pits, then complete practical repairs.

  • Will I speak with the plumber doing the work?

    Yes. Customers tell us they value speaking directly with the plumber rather than a call centre. When you call, you can explain the problem and ask questions, and we will give you straightforward advice about the likely cause, your options, and what the work involves before we start.

  • The gutters on my shopfront overflow. Can you help?

    Yes. Shopfront gutters often overflow because leaves and litter block the outlet, or because a section has rusted or come loose. Water can then spill onto footpaths, signage, and walls. We clear and inspect the gutter, check the downpipe, and complete practical repairs to keep rainwater moving.

  • Do you work in suburbs near Leichhardt?

    Yes. Along with Leichhardt, we work in nearby suburbs including Lewisham and Stanmore, plus Annandale, Haberfield, Lilyfield, and Petersham. 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.

  • Can you help my restaurant without disrupting service?

    Yes. We understand that restaurant kitchens need to keep running. We assess the problem, explain the work required, and aim to complete practical repairs with as little downtime as possible. Where it suits your business, we can talk through timing so the work fits around your busiest periods.

  • Can you supply hot water for a busy restaurant kitchen?

    Yes. A busy kitchen can use a lot of hot water at once, so the system needs to keep up during peak service without running cold. We look at how much hot water you use, the space available, and the condition of your current setup, then recommend a practical solution. Find out more about our hot water service.

  • Can you connect gas for an outdoor dining area?

    Yes. We can extend the gas supply to an outdoor dining area or courtyard for patio heaters and other outdoor appliances. We check that the existing supply can handle the extra load, position the connections where they suit the space, and explain the work clearly before we start.

  • My bathroom floor drain is backing up. What should I do?

    Stop using the shower and nearby basins to avoid an overflow, and check whether other drains in the home are slow too. A backed-up floor drain often points to a blockage further down the line. Call us during business hours, and we will find the likely cause and complete practical repairs.

  • Will I know the cost before you start?

    Yes. We explain the issue, your options, and what the job involves before any work begins, and we provide an obligation-free quote. Upfront pricing means there are no surprises. If something unexpected comes up once work is underway, we will talk it through with you first. Contact us to arrange a quote.
