Why Choose BC Plumbing for Outside Tap Installations in Frome & Somerset?

How Our Garden Tap Installation Works

We believe in doing things right the first time. When you book an outside tap fitting with BC Plumbing, we follow a rigorous, step-by-step process to ensure a flawless finish and long-term reliability for your outdoor plumbing.Initial Assessment: We evaluate your existing cold water mains supply, typically locating the nearest internal pipework under your kitchen sink or within a utility room.Safe Drilling: We carefully drill through your exterior wall, ensuring minimal disruption to your brickwork, and install protective sleeving for the new copper pipe.Connecting the Supply: We tee into your existing pipework, securing all joints using high-quality, corrosion-resistant brass fittings designed to withstand the hard water scaling common in Bath and North East Somerset.Testing and Handover: Finally, we turn the water back on, test the system at full mains pressure, and demonstrate how to use your new isolation valve.

Why Are WRAS Approval and Check Valves Important?

When it comes to outdoor plumbing, water regulation compliance is absolutely essential to protect your home's drinking water. At BC Plumbing, every garden tap installation we carry out strictly adheres to WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) guidelines using WRAS approved fittings.We install a crucial component known as a double check valve. This prevents back-siphonage, ensuring that contaminated or stagnant water from a garden hose cannot be drawn back into your clean mains water supply. Furthermore, isolation valve installation comes as standard with our service. This allows you to easily shut off the water supply to the outside tap from inside your home during the colder months, draining the exterior pipework to completely eliminate the risk of frozen and burst pipes in winter.

The Benefits of a Professionally Fitted Outdoor Tap

Choosing a professional for your outside tap fitting offers peace of mind and protects your property from potential water damage. DIY kits often rely on self-cutting taps and flexible hoses that are prone to leaking, bursting, and flow restrictions over time.By having BC Plumbing handle the installation, you benefit from solid copper pipework, secure soldered or compression joints, and full mains water pressure. It removes the need to trail muddy hoses through your house, protects your internal floors from water damage, and gives you a permanent, highly durable outdoor water source built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions About Outside Taps

Can I have an outside tap fitted anywhere?In most cases, yes. The most cost-effective location is directly on the other side of an exterior wall from an existing cold water pipe, such as behind the kitchen sink. However, we can safely route pipework to other areas of your garden, garage, or driveway if required.Do you install hot water outside taps?Yes. Hot water outdoor feeds are increasingly popular for washing muddy dogs, cleaning cars in winter, or filling children's paddling pools. We can install a secure hot and cold mixer setup outdoors, complete with all necessary regulatory safety valves.How do I stop my garden tap freezing in winter?Because we install an internal isolation valve with every outside tap, winter preparation is simple. Turn off the internal valve, go outside, and open the garden tap to drain any remaining water. Leave the outside tap open throughout the winter to prevent pressure build-up and burst pipes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional outside tap installation services in Frome, Somerset & Wiltshire and surrounding areas.

Why Choose BC Plumbing?

+

When you choose BC Plumbing, you are hiring a local expert who cares about the community. We aren't a faceless national franchise; we are a dedicated local business that prides itself on being responsive and transparent. Our lead plumber is fully qualified with Plumbing Part 1 and 2, and is G3 certified, which is the gold standard for working on complex hot water systems. This level of training means even a "simple" job like an outside tap is handled with the same technical precision as a full bathroom refit.
We are also fully covered by Public Liability Insurance, so you can have complete confidence while we are working on your property. We believe in "right first time" plumbing—no cutting corners, no hidden costs, just honest, high-quality workmanship. If you need a friendly, professional plumber who turns up when they say they will, BC Plumbing is the right choice for you.

Can I have an outside tap fitted if my kitchen isn't near an outside wall?

+

Yes, it is usually possible. While a "back-to-back" install (where the tap is directly on the other side of the kitchen wall) is the simplest method, we can often run pipework through floor voids or along skirting to reach the desired spot. We will always discuss the neatest and most cost-effective route with you before starting.

Will my outside tap freeze in the winter?

+

Any pipe containing water can freeze if the temperature drops low enough. However, we install an internal isolation valve with every tap. In the winter, you can turn this valve off and drain the external tap to prevent any water from sitting in the pipework where it could freeze and cause a burst. We can also provide insulated covers for extra protection.

What is a hose union bib tap?

+

This is the standard term for a traditional garden tap. The "bib" refers to the shape, and the "hose union" means the end of the tap is threaded. This allows you to easily screw on a plastic or brass hose connector so your garden hose stays securely attached even under high pressure.

Do you install hot water outside taps?

+

Yes, we do. Hot water outside taps are becoming very popular for people who want to wash their dogs with warm water or fill up a paddling pool quickly. This requires running both a hot and cold feed to a mixing valve, and we can certainly help you with this upgrade.
