Your Common Outdoor Tap Installation Questions Answered
UK water supply regulations require that outdoor taps include a double-check valve to prevent backflow contamination of the mains water supply. While fitting the tap itself is relatively simple, ensuring the double-check valve is correctly installed and meeting water supply regulations is important. A plumber can also route the supply pipework neatly through the external wall, position the tap exactly where it is most useful, and fit a frost-protection isolator valve to prevent the pipework freezing in winter. Most installations take under two hours, and we provide a fixed-price quote before starting.
A standard outdoor tap installation in the UK — including the tap, double-check valve, and connection to the nearest cold water supply — typically costs between £150 and £250, depending on the length of the pipe run and the complexity of access through the external wall. Optional extras such as a frost protection isolator valve and a self-closing or hose-reel compatible outlet will add a small amount to the cost. Most installations are completed within two hours, and we provide a clear, fixed-price quote before starting.
An outdoor tap is typically connected to the cold mains water supply — usually the nearest cold water pipe within the property, most commonly under the kitchen sink or in a utility room. It cannot be connected to the hot water supply or to a garden water butt without additional filtration. The tap is run through the external wall to wherever is most convenient for garden use. If the nearest pipework is not close to the desired tap location, additional pipework may need to be run, which can increase the cost slightly.
A frost protection valve — also called a winter shut-off valve — is an isolator fitted inside the property on the supply pipe to the outdoor tap. In cold weather, it allows you to shut off the water supply to the outdoor tap and drain the external pipework to prevent freezing, which can split pipes and cause expensive leaks. In Kent, where temperatures can drop significantly in winter, fitting a frost protection valve is strongly recommended. Our plumbers include this as a standard option on every outdoor tap installation.
