Plumber Hornsby
#1-Rated Plumber
Hornsby is the bustling heart of the Upper North Shore, the commercial centre and major rail interchange of the Bushland Shire, where two train lines meet, a huge Westfield and the hospital anchor the town, and apartment towers are rising fast around the station. Step back from the centre, and it is established homes on hilly, bush-backed blocks, with Ku-ring-gai Chase on one side and Berowra Valley on the other. R&G Plumbing covers all of it: homes, apartments and businesses, with blocked drains, hot water, gas, pipe relining, leak detection and 24/7 plumbing emergencies, a fixed price up front and no call-out fee.

Plumbing Services in Hornsby, NSW 2077
Hornsby runs from apartment towers and shops in the centre to family homes on the bushland edges, so the plumbing here covers homes, units, common property and commercial premises alike. Whatever the building, we find the cause, explain it and quote it before we begin.
Blocked drains in Hornsby range from roots in an old clay line under a bush-backed home to a shared stack in an apartment tower or a grease-choked drain behind a shop. We camera the line to find the blockage, clear it with high-pressure jetting, and trace it to the source so it does not keep coming back.
On Hornsby’s hilly, often sandstone blocks, digging a drain is slow and disruptive, so we reline the damaged pipe from the inside instead. The cured liner restores full flow, seals out roots, and outlasts the pipe around it, in a home, a tower or a commercial site.
We repair and replace hot water for houses, apartments and businesses, gas, electric, solar, heat-pump and continuous-flow, including the larger plant that serves a block or a workplace. If yours is leaking, going cold or cutting out, we will say plainly whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense, and act fast.
Our licensed gas fitters cover domestic and commercial work, from home cooktops and heaters to shopfronts and new gas lines, with compliance certificates supplied. If you ever suspect gas, call us, move clear of the area, and we will test, isolate and make it safe before any other work.
A hidden leak can run for months in a home and damage several floors in a tower, so along with everyday taps, toilets and burst pipes, we pinpoint the ones you cannot see with acoustic and thermal detection, quickly and with little mess.
A burst pipe in a tower, a flooded shop or a sewer overflow at home cannot wait. We take Hornsby emergency calls any hour, every day of the year, often same-day, and work in with building managers where needed, with the price agreed before we start.
A Plumber Who Knows Hornsby’s Town Centre and Its Bush
Hornsby is the administrative and commercial hub of the Hornsby Shire, high on the ridge at postcode 2077, about 25 km north-west of the city. It is a genuine regional centre, the junction where the North Shore and Main Northern lines meet, anchored by a huge Westfield, the hospital and a bus interchange, with apartment towers clustered around the station and more on the way. Away from the centre, it is established homes on hilly, bush-backed streets, with Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to the east and Berowra Valley to the west, the reason the shire is called the Bushland Shire.
The towers bring shared stacks, risers and a hot water plant; the shops and offices bring commercial drainage and grease; the older homes bring clay drains, tree roots and ageing pipework; and the steep, sandstone, bush-edge blocks make stormwater a real job. We cover all of it, for owners, tenants, strata and businesses, with CCTV cameras, jet blasters, no-dig relining gear, leak detection and gas-testing equipment on every van.

Common Plumbing Problems We Fix in Hornsby
Hornsby’s plumbing problems run the full range, from the towers and shops in the centre to the bush-backed homes around the edges. These are the ones we attend most, with the real cause behind each and how we settle it.
Strata and Apartment Plumbing Around the Town Centre
More and more of Hornsby’s homes are apartments, clustered in towers around the station and Westfield, where stacks, common drains, booster pumps and hot water plant are all shared. A fault in one unit often starts elsewhere in the building and becomes a common-property matter.
We follow the fault through the building’s shared services, work in with the strata or building manager, and put it right with proper reporting and the least disruption we can manage for residents.
Commercial and Retail Plumbing in the CBD
The shops, food venues and offices around the Hornsby town centre depend on plumbing that cannot stay down through trading, so blocked drains, grease, tap and toilet faults and hot water all need quick attention.
We work around opening hours, clear and repair fast, and look after grease traps, trade waste and compliance where the premises call for it.
Tree Roots from the Bushland Ridge
Hornsby sits on a ridge between two national parks, and all that surrounding bush keeps roots pushing into the joints of the older clay drains, where they snag waste and grow until the line slows, smells or backs up, usually worse after rain.
We run the camera through to find each root intrusion, cut and flush it out under pressure, and reline the damaged length so they cannot get back in.
Stormwater on Steep, Sandstone Blocks
Hornsby’s terrain is hilly and full of sandstone gullies, so plenty of blocks sit on a slope, and when stormwater pits and lines clog, a heavy downpour runs off fast and pools against the house or scours the yard.
We jet and camera the stormwater system, correct the falls where we can, and re-lay or upsize the pipe so the run-off is carried safely down the slope and away from the building.
Ageing Drainage in Established Homes
Many Hornsby homes have stood for decades and still run clay and earthenware drains and a galvanised supply pipe that crack, corrode and leak, showing as slow drains, weak pressure or damp with no obvious cause.
We camera or leak-test to find the failing run, then renew or reline just that part and leave the rest of the pipework in place.
Hot Water for Apartments, Shops and Homes
From a unit on shared plant to a cafe that needs hot water to trade or a family home with several bathrooms, an ageing hot water system in Hornsby fails the same way: no heat, dropping pressure, leaks or a unit that trips out.
We diagnose the system or the plant, repair it where that adds up, and where it does not we fit a replacement sized to the home, block or business, usually the same day.

Real Reviews from Satisfied Clients
I really appreciated the honest advice, attention to detail, and fair pricing. I highly recommend R&G Plumbing to anyone looking for reliable, fairly priced, and professional plumbing services.
Thank you again to the entire R&G Plumbing team!
Initially, it looked like the floor would need to be dug up for a 1.5 day job$$, which we couldn’t afford. Instead, Jack kept investigating and found another access point through our neighbour’s carpark ceiling. He organised access to neighbours garage, removed the roots, and repaired the pipe at a much more affordable price. The roots were way worse than we expected.
As a young couple and first home buyers, this was our first time dealing with a plumber and we were pretty stressed since we thought it was a simple blockage but it turned out to be a complex issue. I gotta check the drainage when im purchase property in the future. Learnt my lesson!
Jeremy and Zac explained everything clearly and provided a detailed report and invoice so we can raise it with strata, as the drainage is linked to other units and may have further issues.
Really grateful for the honesty and effort. We’ve definitely found a plumber we trust and would happily connect with Jeremy’s team again.
