Brilliant Plumbing installs outside garden and patio taps across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea — from the larger garden squares of Holland Park and Kensington, to the courtyards and rear yards of Notting Hill’s terraces, and lower-ground level access points in Chelsea’s basement conversions. Every tap is fitted with an isolation valve as standard, at a fixed price, with a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Kensington and Chelsea’s gardens and outdoor spaces vary as much as its housing — from the larger garden squares of Holland Park and Kensington, to the compact courtyards of Notting Hill’s terraces and the newly created lower-ground level spaces in Chelsea’s basement conversions. Our engineers size and route every installation to suit the property.
The bigger gardens and communal garden square access typical of Holland Park and Kensington's villas are ideal candidates for a garden tap, often run some distance from the house. We route pipework neatly and insulate any external run against frost.
Notting Hill's terraces often have smaller rear yards or courtyard gardens. A single, well-placed outside tap close to the back door is usually all that's needed, with minimal pipe run and disruption.
Chelsea's basement conversions often create a new lower-ground level with direct access to a light well or rear garden. We plan the tap position around this new layout, working alongside any recent renovation work already completed.
Ground-floor flats and maisonettes around Earl's Court with a small patio or access to a communal garden can still have a garden tap fitted, subject to leaseholder permissions where relevant. We advise on the simplest routing from the internal supply.
Most outside tap installations are straightforward — but a few details affect the price and the finished job. Our engineer will always confirm these on survey before any work begins.
Ideally close to an internal wall with an accessible supply pipe behind it, to keep the external run short and minimise drilling.
Yes — fitted as standard on every installation, so the outside tap can be shut off and drained separately ahead of winter.
Any external pipework is lagged as standard, and we advise draining the tap down over winter to avoid burst pipes in cold snaps.
Yes — outside taps are supplied from the mains cold feed, so they work the same way regardless of your boiler or heating system type.
Often, yes — we recommend checking your lease or with your freeholder before booking, particularly for flats around Earl’s Court with communal gardens.
Yes — many customers start with one tap and add a second at the far end of a larger garden at a later date, particularly in Holland Park and Kensington.
Standard single-tap installations are fixed-price jobs confirmed before we start. Longer pipe runs or additional taps are quoted after a brief assessment.

All standard single-tap installations are fixed-price, confirmed before work begins — no call-out charge. 12-month workmanship guarantee on every job.
A complete installation, from choosing the right system to a fully tested, working softener.
We identify the nearest suitable internal supply, agree the best position for the tap, and check the route the pipework will take.
Your engineer confirms the fixed price for the job before starting — including the isolation valve as standard. No work begins until you're satisfied.
We drill through the wall, run and lag the pipework, and fit the tap and isolation valve, keeping disruption to a minimum inside and out.
We turn the water on, check for leaks at every joint, and talk you through using the isolation valve ahead of winter.
Every outside tap we install includes an isolation valve, so it can be shut off and drained independently — protecting against winter freeze damage.
From Holland Park and Kensington's larger gardens to Chelsea's newly created lower-ground spaces, we route pipework to suit the property, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
The same fixed pricing applies whether you're in Notting Hill, Chelsea or Earl's Court. No zone uplift, no call-out charge, ever.
Most outside tap installations are completed in one visit, with minimal mess and the work area left clean — inside and out.

“Wanted an outside tap at the far end of our Holland Park garden for watering without dragging a hose through the house. The engineer routed the pipework neatly, insulated the run, and fitted an isolation valve so we can drain it down over winter.”
“New lower-ground level from our basement conversion in Chelsea needed a tap for the light well garden. The engineer worked around the recent renovation carefully and had it fitted in under two hours.”
“Ground-floor flat near Earl’s Court with access to the communal garden — engineer checked our lease requirements with us first, then fitted the tap cleanly with an isolation valve. Straightforward and fairly priced.”
