Plumbing work in Colyton
We handle the usual range of household plumbing in Colyton, whether it is a single repair or part of a larger build. On project work we would rather be involved early, because the constraints are usually below ground and they are far cheaper to design around than to discover.
Our plumbing services in Colyton
Blocked drains and camera inspections, hot water systems, burst and leaking pipes, taps and toilets, gas fitting, roof plumbing, and new fixture installation. For a burst pipe or a serious leak, turn the water off at the mains tap before you call. If water is anywhere near power points, the switchboard or light fittings, stay clear and treat it as an electrical hazard. Do not enter standing water in a room with live power.
1. Licensed for the work
Rapid Service Plumbing is a licensed plumbing business and our licence details are published on this site. Plumbing, drainage and gas fitting are licensed trades in New South Wales, and every plumber who attends a job in Colyton is licensed for the work they carry out.2. A written quote before we start
You get a written quote before any work starts, covering labour, parts and any other costs. If we find something unexpected once we are on site, we stop and talk it through with you before going further.
3. We find the cause, not just the symptom
A drain that keeps blocking or a tap that keeps dripping usually has an underlying reason. Where it matters we will investigate properly, including a camera inspection on drainage, so you are deciding with the full picture rather than paying twice for the same problem.
4. Options explained, not one answer
Repair and replacement are often both possible, and they suit different situations. We will tell you what each involves and what it means for the life of the fixture, then leave the decision with you.
5. Safety-sensitive work treated as such
Gas, hot water and anything involving water near electrical fittings carry real risk. We will tell you plainly when something should not be attempted at home and when a licensed professional needs to handle it.

Plumbing questions from Colyton residents
Questions we are regularly asked. If yours is not answered here, call the Sydney office on 02 9099 9138.
Does this work need a licensed plumber?
For most of it, yes. Plumbing, drainage and gas fitting are licensed trades in New South Wales. Simple household tasks such as changing a tap washer are generally fine to do yourself. Anything connecting to the drainage system, the water supply or a gas line is not. If you are unsure, ask before starting rather than after.
Is there anything I should do before the plumber arrives?
Clear access to the area if you can, and know where your mains stop tap is. If the problem involves a fixture that is still leaking, turning off the isolating valve under it, or the mains if there is no isolator, prevents further damage while you wait.
Does a granny flat need its own hot water system?
It depends on distance from the existing unit, the combined demand, and how the property is metered and occupied. Sharing is sometimes practical, but a long pipe run means a long wait for hot water and losses along the way. It is worth assessing rather than assuming either way.
Can I build over an existing drainage line?
There are generally restrictions, and where an easement exists the requirements are specific. The sewer service diagram shows where lines run, and it is worth obtaining before finalising a position rather than after.
Will adding fixtures affect the pressure in the main house?
It can. The existing supply pipework was sized for the original demand, and adding outlets that may run at the same time increases it. If pressure already drops when several taps run, that is worth resolving as part of the project.
