Outside Tap Installation in Mitcham
Covering CR4 and surrounding streets
A properly fitted outside tap is a small job with big rules attached — it has to include a double check valve to satisfy the Water Regulations, an internal isolation valve to drain down for winter, and lagging on the external run to prevent freeze damage. Kingston Heating fits outside taps across Mitcham (CR4) to that standard, usually in under two hours.

Outside Tap Installation in Mitcham — FAQs
How much does an outside tap cost to fit in Mitcham?
A standard outside tap install in Mitcham (CR4) typically costs £120–£180 including the tap, double check valve, internal isolation valve, wall core and labour. More complex jobs (long runs, brick core through cavity) are quoted after a quick site check.
Do I need a double check valve on an outside tap?
Yes — Water Regulations require a WRAS-approved double check valve on every outside tap in the UK to prevent contaminated water back-siphoning into the mains.
How do I stop my outside tap freezing?
Fit an internal isolation valve so you can shut it off in winter, open the outside tap to drain the pipe, and lag the external pipework. A frost-proof (long-body) design also helps.
