Tapping into the mains for the new supply.
A new outside tap makes watering the garden and filling a bucket far easier. Tell us what you need and where you're located, and we'll help you request a local professional to fit a frost-proof outdoor tap.

Share a few details and we'll help direct your request to a participating local professional. Submitting an enquiry is free and carries no obligation.
Not every outside tap installation problem looks the same. These are the signs that suggest it's worth requesting professional help.
A new outside tap to fit in the garden.
A frost-proof fitting to prevent freeze damage.
A double-check valve to prevent backflow.
A tap leaking down the wall or inside.
An old or split outside tap to replace.

A symptom is rarely the whole story. Whether it's a visible fault or a problem hidden behind a wall, under a floor or inside a fitting, understanding the likely cause first helps ensure the right outside tap installation work is carried out — and reduces the chance of it coming back.
The right approach depends on the problem. A professional can advise what's appropriate for your situation — not every professional offers every method below.
