Local 24/7 Emergency Plumbers
The housing is a real mix – post-war brick homes, townhouses and villa complexes, a few unit blocks, and the light-industrial pocket off Windsor Road – and each brings its own plumbing.
At R&G Plumbing, we look after all of it, across Northmead and neighbouring Westmead: blocked drains, gas fitting, hot water, pipe relining, leak repairs and 24/7 emergencies, with the cause checked properly and a fixed price confirmed before any work starts.

Plumbing Services Across Northmead and Westmead
The most common call here. On the creek-catchment blocks, roots, silt and stormwater work into older underground drains until a sink slows or a sewer backs up. We camera the line, jet it clear, and check whether roots, grease or a cracked pipe is behind it - so it’s sorted, not just shifted.
Our licensed gas fitters install and service cooktops, heaters and gas hot water, run new lines and pressure-test and issue compliance certificates. A gas smell or a weak burner flame is worth acting on straight away - call us, and we’ll make it safe first.
Family homes and rentals here run their hot water hard. We repair and replace hot water systems of every type - electric, gas, solar, heat-pump and continuous-flow - from the major brands - Rheem, Rinnai, Bosch and more - and give you a straight repair-or-replace answer rather than an automatic upsell.
A Plumber Who Knows Northmead’s Homes and the Creek Catchment
Northmead is a hilly, established suburb in the City of Parramatta, about 26 km from the city and part of the fast-changing Greater Parramatta corridor. It sits above the junction of Darling Mills and Toongabbie creeks - the start of the Parramatta River - so stormwater and drainage falls are a real factor here in heavy rain, more than in the flatter suburbs.
The housing runs from post-war brick homes on the residential streets past Windsor Road, through townhouses and villa complexes, to the unit blocks and the light-industrial area near the creeks. Our vans carry CCTV cameras, jetters, relining gear, leak detection and gas-testing tools, so we read the fault right on the first visit and quote it before we start.

Common Plumbing Problems We Sort in Northmead and Westmead
A few issues come up again and again in this pocket of Parramatta, shaped by the older pipework, the creek-catchment falls and the mix of family homes and rentals.
Roots and Stormwater in Older Underground Drains
On the creek-catchment blocks, established trees and heavy rain team up on ageing clay drains - roots at the joints, silt in the pits, water pooling near driveways and garages after a downpour.
We camera the drain and the stormwater line, jet them clear, reset the falls where we can, and reline the cracked section so it holds.
Post-war and Renovated Pipework
Many Northmead homes are on their original galvanised and copper pipes, often with newer bathroom and kitchen work tied in during a reno - so leaks, low pressure and discoloured water tend to hide where old meets new.
We trace the failing run with a camera or leak detection and repair or reline just that section, rather than opening up the whole house.
Shared Drainage in Villas and Unit Blocks
The villa complexes and unit blocks share stacks and common drains, so one blockage becomes several households’ problem, and the cause often sits a unit or two away.
We trace it through the block, clear it at the source, and provide the written report and photos owners or the strata manager need to approve the work.
Rental and Hospital-Precinct Callouts
Close to Westmead, there’s a lot of rental and investment stock, where a leak or a dead hot water unit needs a fast, documented fix and a tenant who can be reached.
We book in with the tenant, do the job promptly, and send the agent or landlord a straightforward invoice and report so approval and billing are simple.
Plumbing for Westmead and the Hospital Precinct
Northmead runs straight into Westmead, home to Westmead Hospital, the Children’s Hospital and one of the busiest health and university precincts in the country - so a lot of what we do here is next door. That precinct brings its own plumbing: unit blocks and rental apartments housing hospital staff and students, older homes close to the hospitals, and small commercial and medical tenancies that can’t afford downtime.
We cover Westmead the same way we cover Northmead - same-day where we can, a fixed price up front, and reports for landlords and agents when a rental needs sign-off. Whether you’re a Westmead owner, tenant or property manager, one local team handles the lot.

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.
