Outside Tap Installation in Devizes , Wiltshire

We take a meticulous, transparent approach to every garden tap fitting. When our plumber arrives at your property, we will first identify the most suitable cold mains water supply, which is often located under the kitchen sink or near a utility room.Surveying the route: We find the shortest and neatest path for the pipework to minimise disruption.Drilling the wall: We carefully drill a clean hole through the masonry to prevent any damage to your brickwork.Installing an isolation valve: We always fit an internal isolation valve, allowing you to easily turn off the water supply to the outside tap during the freezing winter months.Fitting the tap: Finally, we secure the brass bib-tap to the exterior wall, connect the pipes, and test the system to ensure optimal water pressure and zero leaks.

When installing any outdoor plumbing in Devizes, strict adherence to water safety regulations is non-negotiable. An outside tap legally requires a double check valve to be fitted within the pipework. This crucial piece of hardware prevents contaminated water from a garden hose or a muddy puddle from being siphoned back into your clean, domestic mains drinking water supply.Our engineers hold Plumbing Part 1 and 2 qualifications and only use high-quality, WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved materials. By choosing BC Plumbing, you are guaranteed a professional installation that meets all UK legal plumbing standards and keeps your household drinking water perfectly safe.

This is one of the most common questions we receive from homeowners across Wiltshire. Standard outside taps can indeed freeze, which is why we always install an internal isolation valve as a core part of our installation process. By turning this valve off and draining the outdoor tap before the first winter frost, you completely remove the risk of a burst pipe.If your property is particularly exposed to the elements, we can also supply and install specialist frost-proof taps. These modern outdoor taps are designed to drain themselves automatically, offering excellent year-round protection without manual intervention. If you have already suffered winter pipe damage, our emergency engineers also provide rapid burst pipe repair and water leak repair services across the region.
