Outside Tap Installation in Barnet
An outside tap makes garden watering and car washing far easier. Fitted correctly, it's compliant, frost-protected and won't leave you with a damp wall.
Norvex's Gas Safe heating engineers and plumbers cover the whole of Barnet — from High Barnet down to Whetstone — with same-week appointments and 2-hour emergency response.
Outside Tap Installation for Barnet homes
We take a tee from a suitable internal cold pipe, fit an indoor isolation valve and a WRAS-compliant double check valve to protect the mains, then drill through and mount the tap on a solid backplate with the hole sealed properly.
Frost-proof taps and drain-down arrangements are available for exposed walls, which matters on Barnet's north-facing elevations. Most installations are completed in a couple of hours with minimal mess.
Barnet's mix of Victorian terraces, post-war semis and modern flats means heating systems vary enormously across the borough. Our engineers know the area's housing stock inside out, from rear-extension combi installs in EN5 to large family system boilers in Hadley Wood.
Areas of Barnet we cover: High Barnet, New Barnet, East Barnet, Hadley Wood, Cockfosters.

Your questions, answered
How much does an outside tap cost to fit?
We quote a fixed price up front. A straightforward install off an accessible internal pipe is one of our quickest jobs.
Is a check valve legally required?
Yes — water regulations require backflow protection on outside taps, and we fit a double check valve as standard.
Will it freeze in winter?
Not if you close the indoor isolation valve and drain it, or opt for a frost-proof tap. We show you how at handover.
Can you fit a tap far from the kitchen?
Yes, we can run pipework through a garage, utility or along an internal wall to reach the position you want.
