Installing an exterior tap requires more than just drilling a hole in the wall. Our step-by-step process ensures a neat, leak-free finish that protects your home's masonry and internal plumbing.Site Assessment: We help you choose the most practical location for your new tap, usually directly behind your kitchen sink or utility room pipework.Neat Drilling: We carefully drill through your exterior wall, paying special attention to the traditional stone and brickwork common in older Bradford-On-Avon properties.Pipework & Valves: We securely route the copper or plastic pipework and fit a dedicated internal isolation valve. This is crucial for safely shutting off the water supply to the outside tap during freezing winter months.Testing: We turn the mains water supply back on, test the pressure, and thoroughly check for any signs of leaks to guarantee a flawless finish.
