Practical outdoor water points, fitted to suit the property.
Outside taps fitted the way you need them
We install and repair outside garden taps for everyday watering, cleaning and hose use. The pipe route can be hidden where practical, covered neatly on the outside, or deliberately left visible as an attractive copper installation.
New outside tap installationA suitable new hose-union tap connected to an accessible cold-water supply.
Concealed or covered pipeworkPipework routed internally where possible, or protected inside neat external trunking.
Decorative exposed pipeworkVisible copper pipework installed cleanly with suitable clips and a considered finish.
Hoses, splitters and sprinklersHelp selecting and connecting hose fittings, adaptors, splitters and watering equipment.
Leaking or damaged tapsAssessment of drips, worn valves, damaged fittings, loose connections and winter damage.
Service or replacementRepair where sensible, or replacement when the existing tap is worn, seized or unsuitable.
Small jobs welcome. Send the postcode and clear photos of the outside wall, the nearest internal cold-water pipe and the route you have in mind.
Examples of outside-tap work
The best option depends on the wall construction, where the cold-water supply is available, access, insulation and whether you want the pipe route hidden or left visible as a neat feature.

Decorative exposed copper installationA practical option when the supply is best run on the outside. We can install a tidy copper route with proper clips and a hose-connection tap.Covered or concealed outside supply routeWhere practical, the outside section can be protected and visually tidied with a neat cover, helping the installation look cleaner on the wall.Older dripping tap: service or replacementAn older outside tap may drip because of wear, corrosion or a failing seal. We can assess whether it is worth servicing or better replaced.
Common problems we can assess
Tap dripping when fully closed
Leaks at the wall plate, adaptor or hose connector
Loose, damaged or badly supported external pipework
Old taps that are seized, corroded or difficult to operate
No internal isolation valve for winter shut-off or servicing
Unsuitable hose fittings, splitters or sprinkler connections
Pipe routes exposed to frost or accidental damage
What to send on WhatsApp
Send your postcode, a clear photo of the outside wall, a wider photo showing the proposed or existing tap location, and photos of the nearest internal cold-water pipe and isolation point. For a leak, include a short video showing exactly where the water appears.
