Outside Tap Installation in Shepton Mallet , Somerset

We believe in transparent, efficient service with minimal disruption to your home. When you book an outside tap installation with us, we follow a meticulous process to guarantee long-lasting results.Initial Assessment: We locate your internal mains water supply, usually under the kitchen sink, and identify the most practical spot on your external wall for the new hose union bib tap.Safe Drilling & Pipe Rerouting: We carefully drill through the masonry, feeding the new copper or plastic pipework through while ensuring a weatherproof seal to protect your home from damp.Fitting the Isolation Valve: An internal isolation valve is always installed. This allows you to easily shut off the water supply to the outside tap during freezing Somerset winters, protecting your pipes from bursting.Testing & Clean-up: Once installed, we turn the stopcock back on, test the water pressure, and check for any minor leaks. We always leave your property exactly as tidy as we found it.

While fitting an outdoor tap might seem like a simple DIY weekend project, relying on a professional plumber brings crucial long-term benefits. Self-piercing tap kits often degrade over time, leading to sudden leaks, poor water pressure, and potential water damage to your kitchen units.By choosing BC Plumbing, your new tap is plumbed directly into the main pipework using robust, trade-quality materials. This ensures excellent water pressure for your garden hose or pressure washer. Furthermore, the hard water common in the Somerset area can cause rapid scale build-up in cheaper fittings. We use durable, high-quality brass components designed to withstand both heavy scaling and harsh winter temperatures.

Water safety is our top priority. Every outside tap we fit strictly adheres to the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) guidelines. A key part of this compliance is the installation of a double check valve. This vital component prevents contaminated garden water—such as water sitting in a muddy hosepipe—from being siphoned backward into your clean mains water supply.As highly trained local professionals holding Plumbing Part 1 and 2 qualifications, alongside G3 Certification, we understand the regulatory requirements inside out. You can rest easy knowing that your new garden plumbing meets all UK building regulations and safe water practices.
