Outside Tap Installation

Outside Tap Installation

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.

About this service

Outside Tap Installation in South West London, done properly the first time

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.

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.
