RHH Blacktown collects first-hand accounts from people around Blacktown and Western Sydney, then writes them up plainly: what was quoted, how long the job ran, whether the price held, and what the person would tell a neighbour. No sponsored ranking, no paid badge. Just dated entries, photos where people send them, and a note on what went wrong as often as what went right.
Home repairs, pest control, cleaning crews, tyres and servicing, childcare centres, takeaway spots, phone repair kiosks near the station. If you have used someone decent lately, the next household would rather hear it from you than guess.
Start with one that is close to your street: an emergency plumber on Kildare Road whose quote held from the phone call to the invoice.
Latest entry
Burst pipe under the kitchen sink, fixed the same evening. Quoted on the phone, charged the same on the invoice, two hours from call to dry floor.
Every entry on RHH Blacktown lands in one of three places, depending on what you need from it. Pick the one that matches your situation and start reading dated accounts from people in the same suburb.
One household, one job, one dated entry. What was quoted, how long the work ran, whether the figure held, and what the reviewer would say to a neighbour. Covers plumbers, electricians, pest control and locksmiths across Blacktown, Marayong and Doonside.
Grouped by postcode and trade type, so you can see how the same kind of work plays out across the area. Useful when you are comparing two mechanics, three cleaning crews, or the phone repair kiosks around the station.
If you have used someone decent lately, send the details and we will write it up in the same format. No sponsored placement, no paid badge, and a short note on what went wrong as often as what went right.
Most of what lands in our inbox is the same handful of things. Here is how the board works, what a review has to include, and where the limits are.
Locals who actually paid for the job. We do not send mystery shoppers and we do not take a cut from any business. If a review reads like a press release, it does not go up.
The suburb, the job type, roughly when it happened, and whether the quoted figure held. A photo of the van or shopfront helps, but the date and the outcome matter more.
No. There are no sponsored slots and no paid badges. Entries sit in date order within their category, and a bad week stays visible next to a good one.
Yes. Tyres and servicing, pest control, cleaning crews, childcare centres, takeaway spots and the phone repair kiosks near the station all show up regularly.
Send it anyway. The useful reviews usually mention one thing that went sideways, like a late arrival or a part that had to be reordered, alongside the work that was done well.
Write to us with the entry date and what is wrong. We will check it against the original submission and either amend the note or take it down. Details are on the contact page.
Submissions are handled under our privacy policy.
Every entry on RHH Blacktown comes from someone who paid the invoice themselves. We keep the useful parts: the quote, the hours on site, whether the figure moved, and the small things a neighbour would want to know before handing over a key or a car.
Sort by suburb or job type, read the dated notes, and check the follow-up line where people came back weeks later to say how the repair held up. No sponsored slots, no paid badges.
Start with the full review board, or read a single account in the emergency plumber entry.
Narrow entries to Blacktown, Marayong, Doonside or Seven Hills, then pick the trade. Useful when you only care about who turned up on a Saturday.
Each entry notes what was said on the phone and what the final bill showed. When the two matched, we say so. When they did not, that gets its own line.
Shopfronts, work vans, finished repairs. Phone shots sent in by readers, kept as they arrived rather than tidied up for a listing.
Every review carries the month it happened. A plumber who was sharp in 2023 may have changed hands since, and the date tells you how much weight to give it.
Late arrivals, surprise callout fees, a missed spot on the walkthrough. We publish the complaints alongside the praise, because that is usually the part people search for.
