What Our Installation Includes
When you choose our service, we handle everything — from start to finish:
📍 Full Tap Installation
We supply and fit a quality outside tap with the required fittings and wall plate.
🔧 Pipework & Safety
All pipework is run neatly through the wall from your internal water supply using copper or approved plastic piping, with an internal isolation valve and double check valve/backflow protection to meet regulations.
❄️ Weather-Ready Protection
We can fit insulation and frost protection, helping prevent frozen pipes over winter — a common issue in UK climates.
🧰 Professional & Tidy Finish
Our experienced plumbers ensure a clean installation with minimal disruption to your home.
Hot & Cold Tap Options
Choose a cold-water tap for general garden use or a hot & cold outdoor tap setup if you regularly wash pets, outdoor surfaces, or require warmer water at height. Costs vary depending on type and location, but installations generally take 1–2 hours for straightforward jobs.
Typical Installation Process

-
Install isolation valve & backflow protection – Keeps you compliant with regulations.
-

Prices & What Affects Cost
The cost of installation depends on factors such as:
-
Proximity of the internal water supply to the external install point
-
Whether hot water access is required
-
Pipe length and any additional accessories like frost protection
Typical UK installation prices range approximately from £80–£180 for a standard outside tap, with labour and materials included when fitted near an existing water supply.
