Tap installers can install and help repair taps in your home and garden. For new tap installations they may need to plumb pipework to the tap outlet, which could involve cutting through floorboards and drilling walls to fix and route the pipework securely. As well as plumbing a water supply, tap installers can help with plumbing waste water to the nearest drain. Tap replacements in a sink or bath are often just a straightforward swapping of a tap, as no pipework or drainages need to be installed. More complex taps like showers often require more work to ensure they’re safely and securely fixed to a wall. On top of this, tap installers can install outdoor taps in gardens or sheds. Again, if no water or waste supply is in place they can help plumb these.
Taps are easy to pick up yourself in the likes of Woodie’s, Home Value or local hardware stores. Additional plumbing materials like pipes, valves and fixings are usually bought from plumbing supply stores and our Taskers can usually source them for you if you’d prefer.

Many homeowners who are good at DIY can correctly replace taps once they have the right advice and tools to do it. Nonetheless, it’s strongly advised to contact a tap installation expert for your own peace of mind. They know how to test for leaks and handle hidden issues like damaged pipes. On top of this, they have the professional tools required to ensure a seamless job is completed.
Technically, you can fit an outside tap just about anywhere in your garden. However, factors like access to the mains water supply and drainage, as well as whether the pipework is at risk of freezing will all dictate the best location for your outside tap.
A simple tap replacement can be done in as little as 10 minutes. If you wish to install an entirely new tap then you should set aside roughly a day. This allows for the new tap to be fitted as well as the sink if there is one, plus the waste removal, and any additional pipework.
It’s not mandatory, and there are no building regulations, to have a drain under your outside tap but some drainage is necessary to avoid flooding and pooling of water. Generally the best solution is to connect the drain to the sewage waste piping.
