Outside Tap Installation in Biggleswade

An outside tap is one of those small upgrades that's worth more than it costs. No more dragging a hose through the kitchen window, no more buckets to fill the paddling pool, no more soaking the kitchen floor every time the dog needs a wash. It also adds value when it's done properly, with a double-check non-return valve to keep your drinking water safe.

In Biggleswade we install outside taps across every style of property. The newer estates on Kings Reach, Saxon Gate, and the Poets often have generous gardens with no existing tap — a glaring omission for new families. The 1960s and 70s semis around Stratton and Holme often have a tap fitted decades ago but with no isolation valve and no winter shut-off, so they freeze every cold snap. We can either replace those properly or fit a brand-new run from the kitchen sink.

Bedfordshire winters are reliably cold enough to burst an outside tap that hasn't been drained down before the cold sets in. We run the supply through an isolation valve on the indoor side and lag the indoor pipework so you can shut off and drain the tap before December. Allotment gardeners, dog owners, and anyone with a campervan all find an outside tap pays for itself within a season.

Yes. Water regulations require a double check valve on outside taps to prevent backflow contamination. We fit one as standard.
Outside taps can freeze if not properly lagged or drained down before winter. We fit an isolation valve on the indoor side of the run so you can shut off and drain the supply before the cold sets in. Pipe lagging on the run reduces risk further.
Yes. We run the pipework from your internal supply and lag it properly. Longer runs cost a bit more but it's straightforward.
Yes. We can run two taps from one supply, each with its own isolating valve.
