Lewisham's apartment buildings and terraces near the station often share drainage lines, so a small blockage can quickly affect neighbours. Richard Knight Plumbing investigates backed-up drains, sinks, and toilets, identifies the likely cause, and completes practical repairs to restore flow. This helps apartments, homes, and strata buildings limit odours, overflows, and disruption.
Lewisham properties often sit on compact sites with little garden, so roof and surface water needs to drain away quickly after heavy rain. Richard Knight Plumbing assesses downpipe connections, drainage lines, and stormwater pits, then carries out practical repairs to help reduce leaks, pooling, and water damage. This helps keep courtyards and car parks drier.
In Lewisham's apartment buildings, one burst pipe or overflowing toilet can quickly reach the units below. Richard Knight Plumbing responds during weekday hours to assess urgent plumbing problems, explain the required work, and complete practical repairs.

Gas work in Lewisham often means tight kitchens, shared building services, and older lines in terraces near the Greenway. Richard Knight Plumbing assesses the existing setup, explains the required work clearly, and completes alterations, installations, and repairs with attention to safe daily operation. This suits cooktop swaps, heater installs, and renovations.
Hot water systems in Lewisham units often have to fit inside tight cupboards or on balconies, while terraces may have them tucked into a laundry. Richard Knight Plumbing installs, repairs, and replaces hot water systems, explains the available options, and helps you select a unit that suits your space and usage. This helps keep showers hot and routines moving.
New appliances in Lewisham units and terraces often have to fit into tight kitchens and laundries with limited room for connections. Richard Knight Plumbing installs dishwashers, washing machines, and other water-connected appliances, checking drainage, fittings, and water supply first. This suits moving in, replacing an old appliance, or upgrading.

Richard Knight Plumbing repairs leaking taps, running toilets, worn fittings, and worn hoses, and advises owners and strata managers on what may need attention. Regular maintenance helps avoid water damage, disputes, and disruption across the building.
On Lewisham terraces and older unit blocks, a blocked gutter or broken downpipe can affect several homes at once.

I cannot recommend Richard and Grant from Richard Knight Plumbing highly enough. If you are looking for a reliable, professional, and highly skilled team in the Inner West, these are the guys to call. Why they deserve 5 stars? Unmatched Expertise: They clearly understand the unique plumbing quirks of apartment living. They diagnosed the issue quickly and provided well considered solutions, over a quick fix. Total Professionalism: Richard and Grant were punctual, courteous, and maintained great communication throughout the process. It's rare to find tradespeople who are this easy to deal with. Clean and Efficient: They worked incredibly hard and were mindful of the space, leaving the work area spotless once the job was finished. Trustworthy Service: Their pricing was transparent and fair. You can tell they take genuine pride in their reputation and the quality of their craftsmanship. It is such a relief to have a go-to team for any plumbing needs. If you want the job done right the first time, I wouldn't go anywhere else and would be happy to recommend Richard and Grant. Thanks, Justin

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.

Water is coming through my ceiling from the unit above. What should I do?
Let your neighbour and strata manager know straight away so the water can be turned off at the source. Move valuables away from the leak, and switch off power to any wet areas if it is safe to do so. Then call us during business hours, and we will find the source and complete practical repairs.
Our building has a shared hot water system. Can you help?
Yes. Shared hot water systems in apartment buildings need careful assessment, as a fault can affect several units at once. We diagnose the problem, explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense, and provide an obligation-free quote to the owners or strata manager before any work begins.
Water leaks under my washing machine. What causes it?
A leak under a washing machine is often caused by a loose connection, a worn inlet hose, or a problem with the waste outlet. Turn off the taps behind the machine and call us. We check the drainage, fittings, and water supply, then repair or replace the faulty parts so it runs without leaks.
Can you install gas appliances in an apartment?
Yes. We connect and repair gas cooktops, ovens, and heaters in apartments, as long as the building has a suitable gas supply to your unit. If the work involves shared pipework or common property, your strata manager may need to approve it first. We explain what is involved before we start.
Do you offer maintenance for strata buildings?
Yes. We can check common-area taps, toilets, and visible pipework and point out worn parts before they cause leaks between units. We then explain what needs attention now and what can wait, so owners and strata managers can plan and budget for repairs. Learn more about our
maintenance service.
Can you fix the gutters on my terrace?
Yes. Terrace gutters can overflow when leaves block the outlet, and joined roofs mean a problem can spill over to next door. We inspect the gutters, downpipes, and roof drainage, find the cause, and complete practical repairs. If access is needed from a neighbouring property, we will let you know first.
Do you work in suburbs near Lewisham?
Yes. Along with Lewisham, we work in nearby suburbs including
