Garden Water Supply Installation
A garden water supply installation gives you a safe, convenient external tap or feed to an outbuilding, without relying on temporary hoses or exposed pipework. The aim is a reliable outdoor supply with correct connections, isolation and protection against weather and frost.

Who this service is for
This service suits homeowners, landlords and small commercial sites that need dependable outdoor access to water.
Common reasons to book include:
- You want an outdoor tap for gardening, washing down, or filling a pond
- An existing outside tap leaks, is poorly positioned, or has unsafe pipework
- You need a permanent supply to an outbuilding for a utility sink or equipment
- You have repeated winter problems due to freezing external pipes
How the installation is carried out
The work starts with a quick assessment of the best route from the internal supply and the most sensible point to connect.
Typical steps include:
- Confirming the supply source and checking water pressure
- Agreeing the tap location and pipe route to minimise disruption
- Installing the pipework and fittings, then securing and sealing entries
- Adding isolation and protection, then testing for leaks and performance
After installation: keeping it reliable
You will be shown how to isolate the outdoor supply and what to do in colder weather.
If your setup is exposed, you may be advised on extra insulation or changes to reduce the risk of freezing, damage and unexpected leaks.
