Describe the outside fitting and the pipework it connects to
An outside tap that leaks when used may have a different fault from water appearing while the tap is closed. Tell us where water is visible and whether the pipework is exposed or disappears through a wall. If damage became apparent after cold weather, mention that without assuming it identifies every affected component.
A repair or replacement needs to consider the fitting, isolation and the relevant water-supply requirements, rather than simply attach a new tap to an unknown connection. We can discuss access and the proposed plumbing work. Irrigation equipment or specialist garden systems may involve another service, so describe what is connected before arranging attendance.
St John’s Wood extends this coverage into prime inner London. For a house, mansion flat or property with an annex, explain which building and services are involved. A larger plot does not establish whether systems are separate, connected or suitable for a particular repair.
Mention gated access, side passages and the distance from the entrance to the equipment. Check whether drainage access or heating equipment is reached through another occupier’s space, and arrange permission rather than assume it will be available.

Good to know.
Can you replace an outside tap and reconnect my garden system?
Discuss the full arrangement first. The domestic plumbing connection and specialist garden equipment may have different requirements. We need to agree what is included and confirm a suitable installation rather than assume every attachment can be reused.
