When the sun finally shows up in South Warwickshire, it’s not long before we’re watering the garden, washing the car, or filling paddling pools. And let’s be honest—dragging a hosepipe through the kitchen window is no one’s idea of fun.
That’s where a professionally installed outside tap makes life way easier. At Accurate Home Improvements, we fit outdoor taps all across Leamington, Southam, and the surrounding areas, and here’s why they’re a game-changer for your home.
🛠️ Why You Should Install an Outside Tap
1. Watering the Garden
Say goodbye to juggling watering cans or trying to stretch a hose through the hallway. An outside tap gives you direct access where you need it most.
2. Washing the Car or Van
Whether you’ve got a family car or a work van, being able to jet wash right on your drive is a time (and back) saver.
3. Outdoor Cleaning Made Easy
Clean bikes, bins, pets, patios, and garden furniture without traipsing muck through your home.
4. Filling Pools and Hot Tubs
Especially during summer holidays, an outdoor tap is essential for fast and easy filling.
🧰 Can I Fit It Myself?
There are DIY kits on the market, but we’ve been called out to fix a lot of botched jobs. Common issues include:
-
Incorrect pipe fittings causing leaks
-
No isolation valve
-
Frozen pipes bursting in winter
-
Drilling through the wrong section of wall 😬
We always install with:
-
A proper outdoor tap kit
-
A double check valve (to stop dirty water flowing back)
-
An isolation valve inside the home
-
Professional pipework for long-term reliability
🧊 Winter-Proofing Tips
We also advise all our customers how to protect their tap in cold weather, because frozen pipes = burst pipes. With a proper install and a simple tap jacket, you're sorted.
💷 What Does It Cost?
A typical outside tap installation starts from £100, depending on access and distance from your main water supply.
