WHY GET ONE FITTED

Reasons Merton Homeowners Fit an Outside Tap

A properly installed outside tap is one of the most useful, low-cost additions you can make to a garden — these are the reasons we hear most often.

Easier Gardening & Watering

No more trailing a hose through the kitchen window — common in Raynes Park and Morden’s larger gardens.

Washing Cars & Driveways

A convenient water source right where you need it, without running a hose from indoors.

Existing Tap Keeps Freezing

Older, poorly fitted outside taps in Wimbledon and Mitcham often split every winter — a frost-free upgrade solves this.

 

New Extension or Garden Build

Adding a tap as part of a wider garden project or extension, fitted at the right time before landscaping is finished.

WHAT YOU GET

What Changes Once It's Installed

A properly installed softener protects your home’s plumbing for years to come.

Longer Appliance Lifespan

Washing machines, dishwashers and kettles last longer without limescale build-up damaging heating elements.

Protected Boiler & Pipework

Reduced scale build-up in your heating system helps maintain boiler efficiency and can extend its working life.

Softer Skin & Better Lathering

Soap and shampoo work more effectively, and many people notice softer skin and hair.

Far less limescale build-up on taps, screens and tiles means less scrubbing to keep bathrooms looking clean.
