Outside Tap in Worthing
Outside tap installation involves running a new supply pipe from your existing internal water system, through the external wall, to a tap fitted outside — typically for a garden hose, pressure washer or garage — usually with an internal isolation valve and drain-down point to protect against frost.
In Worthing, that covers Tarring, Broadwater, Durrington, Goring-by-Sea, Findon Valley, Heene. Worthing is a seafront town with a strong Edwardian and interwar residential character, notable Art Deco buildings along the seafront, and a wide range of housing types stretching inland towards the South Downs.

FAQs
Outside Tap in Worthing: FAQs
Do you provide outside tap across all of Worthing?
Yes, we cover the BN11, BN12, BN13 and BN14 postcode areas in full, including Tarring, Broadwater, Durrington, Goring-by-Sea, Findon Valley, Heene.
Do I need to do anything to protect my outside tap in winter?
Yes — an outside tap should be isolated and drained down before the first hard frost each year, using the internal valve fitted at installation, to avoid the pipe splitting when water inside it freezes.
Can you fit an outside tap to a garage or outbuilding away from the house?
Yes, provided there's a practical route to run the supply pipe. The further the run, the more it affects price, so we confirm the route and cost on a site visit.
Are Worthing's seafront buildings protected?
Many of the town's notable Art Deco and Edwardian seafront buildings are listed or within conservation areas, which affects what external changes can be made without consent. We check this for individual properties.
