What we check before fitting an outside tap
An outside tap depends on a suitable cold water feed, safe pipe routing and sensible access through or around the wall. A neat installation starts with understanding where the pipe can run and whether an existing isolation point or nearby pipework can be used.
Photos to send
- The outside wall where you want the tap fitted.
- The nearest inside cupboard, sink unit or pipework on the other side of the wall.
- Any existing outside tap that needs replacing.
- The wider area so access, height and obstacles are clear.
Good outside tap jobs
Straightforward jobs are usually where the pipework is nearby, access is clear and the tap can be fitted in a sensible place. If the route is awkward, photos help us explain what may affect the work before booking.
