This helps cafes, homes, restaurants, and shops.

Where are you located?
Richard Knight Plumbing is based at 17 Raper Street, Newtown NSW 2042. We have served Sydney's Inner West since 2005 and work across Newtown and the surrounding suburbs, Monday to Friday from 7 am to 5 pm. Being local means we are close by when homes and businesses need help.
Can you help with a blocked drain at my King Street restaurant?
Yes. Busy restaurant kitchens along King Street often deal with blockages caused by food waste and grease. As we are based nearby, we can often respond quickly during weekday hours. We find the likely cause, complete practical repairs to restore flow, and aim to keep downtime to a minimum.
Water from my box gutter is coming through the ceiling. What should I do?
Move furniture and valuables away from the leak, place a bucket underneath, and switch off power to any wet areas if it is safe to do so. Then call us during business hours. Box gutters on Newtown terraces often overflow when blocked or damaged, and we can find the cause and complete practical repairs.
A pipe has burst at my place. Can you come straight away?
Turn off the water at your meter first to limit damage. Then call us. Being based on Raper Street, we can often reach Newtown homes and businesses quickly during weekday hours, Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm. Read more about our
emergency plumbing service.
Do you work with real estate agents and landlords?
Yes. Many Newtown homes are rentals, and we work with landlords, owners, and property managers to assess and repair plumbing problems. If you are a tenant, let your agent or landlord know about the issue first, as they usually arrange repairs. We are happy to liaise with them directly.
Can you install a glasswasher or dishwasher in our cafe?
Yes. A glasswasher or commercial dishwasher may need a dedicated tap, a suitable waste point, and enough water pressure to run properly. We check the space and connections, install the machine, and test it for leaks before service.
Contact us to arrange an obligation-free quote.
Our upstairs bathroom takes ages to get hot water. Why?
In terraces, the hot water system is often a long way from an upstairs bathroom, so it can take time for hot water to arrive. An ageing or undersized system can also play a part. We look at your setup, explain what is causing the delay, and talk you through the practical options available.
Can you work on gas in a commercial kitchen?
Yes. We work on gas in commercial kitchens as well as homes, from connecting new cooking equipment to repairing faults in existing lines. We check that the supply can handle the equipment, explain the work clearly, and plan the job to limit disruption to your service wherever possible.
Do you work in suburbs near Newtown?
Yes. From our Newtown base, we work in nearby suburbs including
Marrickville and
St Peters, plus Camperdown, Enmore, Erskineville, and Stanmore. 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 offer same-day service in Newtown?
Often, yes. Newtown is our home base, so same-day service is frequently available on weekdays, depending on the job and our schedule. Call us early in the day for the best chance of a same-day visit, and we will let you know when to expect us. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm.
