Do I need a plumber to install an outdoor tap?

From washing the car to watering the plants, washing down the dog or filling a paddling pool, an outdoor tap is really handy.

So how could installing an outdoor tap bring benefits to your garden across Wigan, Leigh, Lancaster or Morecambe, and do you need a plumber to install an outdoor tap for you? BHE’s local plumber team has all the advice you need about outdoor tap installation!

Why should I install an outdoor tap?

An outdoor tap makes it easier to water and keep your garden looking its best:

No more struggling to carry full watering cans through the house. Just take your can outside and fill it from your outdoor tap, or even easier, just attach your hose or sprinkler system directly to the tap to water the garden and containers with ease.

Keep your garden furniture looking good with water from an outdoor tap:

With your water supply right to hand, this is a quicker, easier, and less messy job. Fill a bucket or spray down furniture directly from your outdoor tap, installed by BHE’s local plumbing team in Wigan, Leigh, Lancaster and Morecambe, to enjoy your outdoor spaces for another year.

Add kerb appeal to your house with well-maintained exteriors served by an outdoor tap:

Servicing hoses, power washers and providing access to running water, an outdoor tap makes for an easier way to spruce up and maintain the outside of your property. Your home will be the envy of your neighbourhood and, when the time comes to sell, help your home stand out to potential buyers if external parts are clean and well-maintained.

Car washing is less of a chore when you have access to an outdoor tap:

If you DIY the car wash, having hot and cold running water outside from a professionally-installed outdoor tap makes the task much easier. And you can pour your dirty water directly down your own external drain. No more treading soap and water through the house!

Keep children and pets clean with an outdoor tap:

After a muddy walk, get children and pets (and maybe yourself!) sparkling before they go back into the house with an outdoor tap. Outdoor taps can be installed to deliver hot and cold running water, so a wash down doesn’t need to cause chills!

Most of our customers who install an outdoor tap with BHE soon wonder how they managed without one!

Can BHE’s plumbers install different types of outdoor tap?

Yes, you can find outdoor taps with one, two or even three different spouts, so you can connect your outdoor taps to just your cold or your hot water supply, or both, or use them for more than one job at a time.

Outdoor taps are available in different materials, mostly brass or a brass compound, but plastic outdoor taps are increasingly common. All outdoor tap models are specifically designed to be resistant to the elements, especially frost, while some come with covers to protect them when not in use.

Why do I need a plumber to install or replace existing outdoor tap?

Outdoor taps, especially hot and cold outdoor taps, are safely installed by a qualified plumber from our local plumbing teams in Wigan, Leigh, Lancaster and Morecambe.

Installing outdoor taps yourself risks causing leaks, potentially wasting water and costing you more, especially if your supply is metered. You could possibly even damage the exterior of your property, impacting on property value and incurring unwanted repair bills.

All these reasons are why, when you ask ‘do I need a plumber to install an outdoor tap?’, our answer will always be ‘Yes’!

You should not try to install an outdoor tap if you’re not a qualified plumber. Want to install an outdoor tap at your home? Get in touch with BHE’s local plumbers to book your installation slot today!
