Trusted Outdoor Tap Specialists Serving Gillingham
An outdoor tap makes a real difference in a Gillingham garden, whether for watering, washing the car, filling a paddling pool, or keeping paths clean. Running a hosepipe from an indoor tap is a workable workaround for a while, but far less convenient than a dedicated outdoor supply.
Our approved engineers fit outdoor taps for homeowners across Gillingham, installing a proper branch from the cold mains supply with an isolating valve so you can drain it down easily in winter. The work is clean and straightforward, and we always use fittings that comply with water regulations to prevent backflow. We cover Gillingham and the surrounding Kent area.

Common questions
Outdoor Tap Installation in Gillingham FAQs
Yes. All our approved engineers are fully qualified and hold the relevant industry accreditations. Our approved plumbers are Gas Safe registered, which is a legal requirement for anyone working on gas appliances in the UK. Our approved electricians are NICEIC approved, ensuring all electrical work meets the requirements of BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations). Every job is carried out to the highest professional standard, giving you complete peace of mind that your home is safe and compliant.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency plumbing and electrical services. Whether you have a burst pipe, a total power failure, or a gas leak, our approved engineers are on call around the clock and aim to reach you within the hour. Fast response times are critical in an emergency, and we carry a wide range of parts and equipment to resolve most problems on the first visit.
For emergency call-outs, the aim is to be with you within 60 minutes. For non-urgent appointments, we can typically schedule a visit within 24 to 48 hours. We understand that plumbing and electrical problems are disruptive, so we work hard to offer fast, flexible appointment slots – including evenings and weekends – to suit you.
Yes, we provide free, no-obligation quotes for all planned work. Once our engineer has assessed the job, we will give you a clear, itemised quote before any work begins – so there are no surprises on your final invoice. For straightforward jobs, we can often quote over the phone or via email. Emergency call-outs are quoted on arrival before work commences.
We cover a wide range of locations across the region, including residential and commercial properties. Our approved engineers of local plumbers and electricians are based throughout the area, which means faster response times and lower call-out costs for you. Please visit our service areas page or contact us directly to confirm we cover your postcode.
Yes, all our work comes with a minimum 12-month workmanship guarantee. If anything we have installed or repaired develops a fault due to our work within that period, we will return and fix it at no additional cost. Where manufacturer warranties apply – for example on boilers, consumer units, or fixtures – these are passed on to you in full. Our approved engineers stand behind the quality of every job they complete.
Yes, we carry full public liability insurance and professional indemnity cover on every job. This protects you and your property in the unlikely event that anything goes wrong during the course of our work. You should always check that any tradesperson you hire is properly insured before allowing them to start work in your home.
We accept all major payment methods including bank transfer, credit card, debit card, and cash. Payment is typically due on completion of the work unless a deposit has been agreed for larger projects. We will always provide a full VAT invoice for every job, which you may need for warranty purposes or home improvement records.
Yes. Our approved engineers carry out plumbing and electrical work across both residential homes and commercial premises, including offices, retail units, landlord properties, and HMOs. Commercial work often requires different certifications and sign-off procedures, and our approved engineers are experienced in meeting those requirements, including EICR inspections and landlord gas safety certificates.
If your problem involves water – leaking pipes, blocked drains, no hot water, or a faulty boiler – you need a plumber. If it involves your power supply, lights, sockets, fuse box, or wiring, you need an electrician. Some issues, like an electric shower fault or underfloor heating, may require both. If you are unsure, contact us and we will advise you on the right engineer to send.
Yes. We offer flexible appointment times including evenings and weekends to minimise disruption to your day. Weekend and out-of-hours appointments are available for both planned work and emergency call-outs. Please note that out-of-hours rates may differ from standard daytime rates – your engineer will confirm pricing before starting any work.
Absolutely. Our approved engineers take care to protect your home throughout the job – using dust sheets, shoe covers, and taking away all waste materials when they leave. We treat every property with respect and will always leave the work area as clean as we found it. Customer satisfaction does not end when the job is done; it includes how we conduct ourselves throughout the whole visit.

Serving the Area
Gillingham is the largest town by population in the Medway area, with densely packed residential streets extending from the town centre through Rainham, Wigmore and Hempstead. The ME7 and ME8 housing stock is dominated by Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and post-war housing, all of which regularly need boiler replacements, rewiring and bathroom upgrades. Gillingham's high proportion of rental properties also generates strong demand for landlord safety certificates and emergency callout services.
