Plumbing help in Westmead
Drains, hot water, leaks, taps, toilets, gas appliances and roof plumbing are all part of what we do in Westmead. Where something is a safety issue rather than an inconvenience, we will say so plainly and treat it accordingly.
Our plumbing services in Westmead
Hot water systems and temperature control, blocked drains, burst and leaking pipes, taps and toilets, gas fitting, roof plumbing, and bathroom plumbing. 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.
Why Westmead residents call us
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 Westmead 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 Westmead 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.
Will I know the cost before work starts?
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.
Why is the water in my hot water tank hotter than what comes out the tap?
Storage temperature is kept high to suppress bacterial growth in the tank. That is hotter than is safe at a bathroom outlet, so a tempering or thermostatic mixing valve blends it down before delivery. The two temperatures serve different purposes.
The shower has become too hot and I have not changed anything. Why?
A tempering or thermostatic mixing valve that is failing will stop limiting the temperature correctly, which is exactly this symptom. It is a mechanical component with a service life. Because the risk is scalding rather than inconvenience, it should be checked promptly.
Can I just turn the thermostat on the hot water unit down instead?
That is not the right solution. Storage temperature is set where it is for a reason, and lowering it to control delivery temperature creates a different problem. The correct approach is a properly functioning tempering or mixing valve controlling what reaches the outlet.
