Most London homes don’t have an outside tap — but most London homeowners wish they did. Here are the most common reasons our customers book an outdoor tap installation.
Fill watering cans and connect a hose directly at the garden — no more carrying water through the house or relying on a watering can from a kitchen tap.
A front-of-house or driveway tap makes car washing quick and straightforward — without running a hose through windows or along the hallway.
Connect a pressure washer, fill a bucket, or clean patios, paths, bikes, and outdoor furniture — all from a convenient external supply point.
A shower type that was never right for you. A dedicated garden tap makes filling and topping up garden ponds, water butts, or paddling pools simple — no lengthy hose runs from inside the house. water pressure or boiler setup from the start
An outside tap adds convenience that most London homeowners underestimate until it is installed. The installation cost is recovered in convenience, time, and reduced wear on internal plumbing from outdoor hose use through kitchen windows or back doors.
What We Do
A complete outside tap installation — from the connection inside to a fully operational outdoor tap — carried out in a single visit at a fixed price.
Your plumber identifies the nearest suitable cold water pipe to connect from — typically the cold water supply in the kitchen, utility room, or under the stairs. We assess the wall thickness, the external mounting position, and the shortest practical pipe run to give you an accurate fixed price.
We fit a tee junction into the cold water supply pipe and run a dedicated supply line to the external wall. The internal pipe run is neatly clipped and follows the most discreet route available — along skirting boards or through cupboards where access allows.
We drill a single hole through the external wall at the agreed position, feed the supply pipe through, and mount the outside tap securely to the external brickwork or render. The tap and backplate are fitted with appropriate external fixings and silicone sealed around the wall penetration.
An isolation valve is fitted to the internal supply line — allowing you to turn off the outside tap supply completely during winter to prevent freezing. We then turn on the supply, test the tap for correct operation, and check all connections inside and outside for leaks before completing the job.
Every outside tap installation we carry out includes these components and standards as standard — not as optional extras.
We supply and fit a durable brass or stainless outside tap — designed for continuous outdoor use. The tap body resists UV and weathering and is sized to accept standard hose connectors. You can specify the tap style at booking.
Included in price
A dedicated isolation valve is fitted to the inside supply line before it passes through the external wall. This allows you to isolate the outside tap entirely during winter months to prevent the supply pipe from freezing and bursting.
Neatly routed · Properly sealed · No exposed mess
The wall penetration is sealed with exterior-grade silicone around the backplate and through the brickwork. The tap backplate is fixed securely to the wall surface — the installation is designed to remain watertight and stable through all weather conditions.
Weatherproof seal
The internal supply pipe from the connection point to the wall is clipped neatly at regular intervals along the most discreet available route. We use matching pipe clips and fittings throughout and avoid running exposed pipe across prominent surfaces where a neater route is practical.
Neatly clipped and routedIncluded in price
Once the installation is complete, we run the tap through a full test cycle — checking for leaks at the tee connection, along the supply pipe, at the wall penetration, and at the tap body. No job is signed off until the installation is leak-free and the tap operates correctly.
Full test before we leave
All outside tap installation work carries our 12-month workmanship guarantee. If any connection we have made develops a leak, or the tap fitting fails due to our installation within 12 months, we return and resolve it at no charge — issued in writing on the day.
12-month guarantee

Four steps from your first enquiry to a fully installed, tested outside tap ready to use.
Your plumber identifies the nearest suitable cold water supply pipe, assesses the wall for the best tap position, and checks the pipe run length. The fixed price is confirmed on this basis before any drilling or connections are made.
Fixed price confirmed first
A single clean hole is drilled through the external wall at the agreed position. The pipe is fed through and the tap backplate is fixed securely to the external face of the wall. The wall penetration is sealed with exterior silicone.
Single hole · Silicone sealed
A tee connection is made into the nearest cold water supply pipe inside the property. The supply line is run neatly to the wall and connected to the tap. An isolation valve is fitted on the internal supply run for winter isolation.
Isolation valve included
Water is turned on and the full installation is tested — checking for leaks at every connection point, correct water flow, and tap operation. Your 12-month guarantee is provided in writing and the tap is ready to use immediately.

Why Choose Elite Home Renovators
Outside tap installation is a straightforward job — but small errors in pipe connection, wall sealing, or isolation valve placement lead to leaks, pipe freezing, and wall damp. Our plumbers have carried out over 1,800 outside tap installations across London and know the correct methods for every property type and wall construction.
1,800+ outside taps installed across London
We take care with the pipe routing inside the property — clipping neatly along skirting boards and following natural routes rather than running exposed pipe in conspicuous positions. The external installation is aligned correctly and the wall penetration is sealed properly so water cannot track back into the wall cavity.
Neatly routed · Properly sealed · No exposed mess
The price for your outside tap installation is confirmed before we start — taking into account your wall type, pipe run length, and any access considerations. There is no call-out charge, no revised invoice once the work is underway, and no charge for diagnosis or assessment.
Fixed price confirmed before drilling · No call-out charge
Every outside tap installation we carry out includes an internal isolation valve as standard. This is essential in London properties — an outside tap supply pipe left live through winter can freeze and burst, causing internal water damage. We always fit the isolation valve and explain how and when to use it.
Isolation valve included · Winter freeze protection
We use quality brass or stainless outside tap fittings designed for outdoor use, with appropriately rated pipe and fittings throughout the installation. Low-quality push-fit connections in external environments fail more quickly due to temperature cycling and UV exposure — we use fittings we are confident backing with our 12-month guarantee.
Quality fittings · 12-month guarantee on materials and workmanship
Every outside tap installation carries our 12-month workmanship guarantee. If the tap drips, a connection leaks, or the wall seal fails within 12 months of installation, we return and fix it at no charge. Issued in writing before we leave your property.
12-month guarantee issued in writing on the day

“Had an outside tap fitted front and rear on the same visit — took just under three hours from start to finish. Both taps are positioned exactly where I asked, the pipe runs inside are neat and properly clipped, and everything has been perfectly leak-free since. Fixed price as quoted, plumber was polite and tidy throughout. Straightforward job done properly.”
“Garden tap installed in under two hours. Plumber explained about isolating in winter before leaving, which I hadn’t thought about. The external fitting looks very neat — backplate properly sealed, tap is solid. Already made watering the garden so much easier. Really good service from booking to completion.”
“Replaced an old leaking outside tap that had been dripping for months. Quick job — plumber replaced the tap body and checked all the connections. Installed a new isolation valve at the same time as the old one was corroded. Works perfectly now, no drip. Good price, arrived on time, left no mess.”
An outside tap can be installed on any external wall that is within a practical pipe run distance from a cold water supply pipe inside the property. Front-of-house taps, rear garden taps, side return taps, and garage wall taps are all common. The main constraint is access to the internal cold water supply — your plumber will confirm the best connection point and tap position during the assessment.
Free survey, no obligation. Fixed price after we’ve assessed your property. Old boiler removed free.
Fixed price confirmed before we attend. Tap, isolation valve, and 12-month guarantee all included. All 33 London boroughs.
