The service

## Outside Tap Installation explained

### What it is
We fit new outside taps and replace old or leaking ones, so you have water for the garden, car or bikes without trailing a hose through the house.

### Who it&#x27;s for
Gardeners, households who wash cars or bikes, and anyone tired of filling buckets at the kitchen sink.

### When you need it
Before the gardening season, or when an existing outside tap leaks or stops working.

### Why it pays to get it right
An outside tap goes through an external wall, so it needs to be fitted properly to avoid leaks inside and out.

If it&#x27;s left

## What waitingreally costs

### Leaks into the wall
A badly fitted outside tap can leak where the pipe passes through the wall.

### Hoses through the house
Running a hose from the kitchen tap is messy and awkward.

### Worn taps
Old outside taps drip and become hard to turn.

### Common mistakes

- ×Fitting a tap without a way to isolate it.
- ×Ignoring a dripping outside tap.

How it works

## Our process,step by step

- 01

### Tell us what&#x27;s wrong
Call 07463 793992 or send the quote form with a short description. A photo of the problem helps, but isn&#x27;t essential.

- 02

### We take a look
We assess the problem and explain what&#x27;s causing it, what needs doing and what the options are, before any work starts.

- 03

### The repair or install
The work is carried out at a clear £80 per hour + VAT + parts. No call-out mark-ups hidden in the bill; you know the rate before we arrive.

- 04

### Checked before we leave
Joints, fittings and connections are run and checked under normal use so you aren&#x27;t left wondering whether the fix will hold.

- 05

### Backed by our guarantee
All of our work is covered by a 2-year workmanship guarantee. If a manufacturer&#x27;s product fails under its warranty, we&#x27;ll organise the replacement; labour to fit it is charged.

In detail

## Everything to know aboutoutside tap installation

### New outside taps
Scott will advise the best position for your tap and fit it properly through the wall.

### Replacing old taps
Worn or leaking outside taps can be replaced with new ones.

### From our reviews
Kim&#x27;s review: &#x27;Scott has helped us out a couple of times when we&#x27;ve needed outdoor taps fitting. Would definitely recommend.&#x27;

### What you&#x27;ll pay, explained
Smaller plumbing jobs are charged at £80 per hour plus VAT and parts. That&#x27;s the rate, stated up front, so you can weigh up the cost before anyone arrives rather than finding out from the invoice.

Parts are charged on top of labour because they vary so much from job to job, a washer costs very little, a new tap or valve costs more. Scott will tell you what&#x27;s needed and why before fitting it, so nothing on the bill comes as a surprise.

### Who comes to your home
All trades are covered under one name, from start to finish, by a team with 20 years of plumbing and bathroom fitting experience. Laura looks after bookings and invoicing, so you have one point of contact for arranging the visit and one person on the tools.

That matters on small jobs as much as big ones. Reviews like Keely Mccrea&#x27;s, &#x27;always professional, friendly and reply quickly. His work is spot on&#x27;, come from customers who called us for one job and came back for the next.

### Why fit an outside tap
An outside tap saves trailing hoses through the house, filling buckets at the kitchen sink and carrying water round to the garden. It makes watering, washing cars and bikes, and cleaning patios and bins far easier.

If you&#x27;ve got a water butt, an outside tap is a useful back-up in dry spells when the butt runs low.

### Looking after an outside tap
Outside taps are exposed to the weather, so it&#x27;s worth protecting them in cold spells. Being able to isolate the tap from inside the house means you can turn it off and drain it over winter.

If an outside tap drips or is hard to turn, a replacement is usually straightforward. Scott will check the existing pipework and fit a new one.

### Availability and call-outs
We work Monday to Saturday, 8am to 7pm. We don&#x27;t offer out-of-hours emergency call-outs, so if water is escaping outside those hours, turn the water off at the stopcock, switch off any electrics affected by the water, and contain what you can. Then give us a call within working hours and we&#x27;ll help as quickly as we can.

Knowing where your stopcock is before you need it is the single most useful thing you can do. It&#x27;s usually under the kitchen sink, but in some homes it&#x27;s in a cupboard, under the stairs or in a downstairs toilet.

### Local to Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire
Harrison&#x27;s is based in Chesterfield and has been trading since January 2021. We work across the town and the surrounding area, including Staveley, Brimington, Wingerworth, Dronfield, Bolsover, Clay Cross, North Wingfield, Eckington, Killamarsh, Matlock, Alfreton and Sheffield.

All trades are covered under one name from start to finish, and the business answering your call is run by Scott and Laura themselves, not a call centre. Our customer ratings: 100% recommend on Facebook · 5-star rating on Google.

We&#x27;re a Derbyshire Trusted Trader and fully insured, with both public liability and employers liability cover in place. If you&#x27;d like to check that we cover your street, or you&#x27;re not sure whether your job is something we can help with, call Scott on 07463 793992 or send the quote form and Laura will get back to you.

### Your guarantee explained
All of our plumbing work is backed by a 2-year workmanship guarantee. If a repair or installation we&#x27;ve carried out isn&#x27;t right, we&#x27;ll come back and put it right.

Products such as taps, valves and toilets carry their own manufacturer warranties, which vary by item. If a product fails under its warranty, we&#x27;ll organise the replacement for you; the labour to fit it is charged. Scott will explain this before fitting anything new.

### Preventing problems in the first place
Most plumbing emergencies start as small, ignorable signs: a drip that gets faster, a cistern that hisses, a damp patch that grows. Getting those checked early is almost always cheaper than dealing with the damage later.

Know where your stopcock is and check it turns. Keep an eye on ceilings under bathrooms, look in the cupboards under sinks every so often, and listen for running water when nothing should be on. If anything looks or sounds wrong, give us a call during working hours.

### Paying for plumbing work
Quotes are free, and smaller plumbing jobs are charged at £80 per hour plus VAT and parts. You can pay by card (credit or debit), bank transfer or cash.

If a repair turns out to be part of a bigger job, for example a leaking shower that really needs a new enclosure, Scott will explain the options so you can decide what&#x27;s right for you.
