An outside tap makes garden watering and car washing far easier. Fitted correctly, it's compliant, frost-protected and won't leave you with a damp wall.
Local engineers, same-day emergency response, fixed prices — from the team based right here in KT1/KT2.
Outside Tap Installation for Kingston upon Thames homes
We take a tee from a suitable internal cold pipe, fit an indoor isolation valve and a WRAS-compliant double check valve to protect the mains, then drill through and mount the tap on a solid backplate with the hole sealed properly.
Frost-proof taps and drain-down arrangements are available for exposed walls, which matters on Kingston upon Thames's north-facing elevations. Most installations are completed in a couple of hours with minimal mess.
When your boiler dies on a Sunday morning or a pipe bursts under the kitchen sink, the last thing you want is a national callout line dispatching whoever's "nearest" — sometimes an hour away. Maxfix Plumbing and Heating is based in Kingston upon Thames.

Frequently asked
Your questions, answered
How much does an outside tap cost to fit?
We quote a fixed price up front. A straightforward install off an accessible internal pipe is one of our quickest jobs.
Is a check valve legally required?
Yes — water regulations require backflow protection on outside taps, and we fit a double check valve as standard.
Will it freeze in winter?
Not if you close the indoor isolation valve and drain it, or opt for a frost-proof tap. We show you how at handover.
Can you fit a tap far from the kitchen?
Yes, we can run pipework through a garage, utility or along an internal wall to reach the position you want.
