An outside tap saves a lot of trips to the kitchen with a watering can, and makes washing the car, the bikes or the dog a lot easier. It is a small job, but it is one that needs doing properly. An outside tap has to have the right protection against backflow and it needs to survive a Hertfordshire winter without splitting.
If your existing tap drips, will not turn off fully or split over the winter, we can replace it and add an isolation valve at the same time if there is not one already. A split pipe inside the wall can go unnoticed for a while, so if you see damp on the inside wall behind an outside tap, it is worth getting it checked quickly.
For washing cars, horses or paving, a mixer outside tap with hot and cold is very handy. We can run a hot supply from your system and fit a thermostatic or standard mixer outside tap, with the same backflow protection.
Before the first frost, turn off the isolation valve inside, open the outside tap to drain it, and disconnect the hose. It takes a minute and prevents the most common outside tap repair we get called to in January.

Most outside taps take about an hour to fit where the cold supply is close to the wall. Longer runs or awkward access can take a little longer.
Yes. Water regulations require backflow protection on an outside tap so contaminated water from a hose cannot be drawn back into the mains supply. We fit one as standard.
Almost always. The simplest position is close to where the cold main runs inside, but we can run pipework further if you want the tap somewhere specific in the garden.
