Need an Outside Tap Fitted?
Whether you need an outside tap for watering the garden, washing the car, filling a paddling pool or simply making outdoor jobs easier, I can install a new garden tap connected to a suitable cold water supply.
I install outside taps throughout Syston, Leicester and surrounding areas of Leicestershire. Every property is slightly different, so the route and amount of pipework required will depend on where the nearest suitable water supply is located.
Send me a few photos showing where you'd like the tap installed and the plumbing on the other side of the wall. In many cases, I can give you an idea of the likely cost before arranging the job.
What's Included in a Garden Tap Installation?
A typical installation involves connecting to a suitable cold water supply inside the property, drilling through the external wall and running new pipework to the required garden tap position.
A typical installation may include:
✓ Good-quality outside tap
✓ Appropriate backflow protection
✓ Internal isolation valve
✓ Copper or suitable plumbing pipework
✓ Fittings and fixings
✓ Secure pipe clips
✓ Protection for exposed pipework where appropriate
✓ Testing for leaks after installation
I'll keep the installation as neat as practical and securely fix the new pipework and tap before testing everything.
How Is a New Outside Tap Connected?
In many homes, the new garden tap can be supplied from the cold water pipework underneath the kitchen sink or from another suitable cold water pipe nearby.
The pipework is then routed to the outside wall, with an isolation valve fitted internally where appropriate so the outside water supply can be turned off without affecting the rest of the property.
If the nearest suitable supply is further away, additional pipework may be required. I'll discuss this with you before carrying out any additional work.
Where Can an Outside Tap Be Installed?
The simplest location is usually an external wall with an accessible cold water supply nearby on the inside — often near a kitchen sink or utility room.
However, your garden tap doesn't necessarily have to be directly behind the kitchen sink. Depending on the property, additional pipework can sometimes be run to put the tap in a more convenient position.
If you're unsure, send me photos of the proposed position outside and the plumbing on the other side of the wall and I'll let you know what should be possible.
Garden Tap Repairs & Replacement
Already have an outside tap that's leaking, dripping or no longer working properly? I can also repair or replace existing garden taps and associated pipework.
Depending on the problem, this may involve replacing the tap, repairing leaking fittings, replacing damaged pipework or checking the isolation valve supplying the outside tap.
