Fitting an outside tap

Question

If your kitchen is at the front of the house, does that make it trickier to fit an outside tap at the rear?

Ryan · Answer

No it makes it easier to fit outside tap as you can take the supply from there

david · Answer

Usually yes but it depends on where the mains water pipe runs

Jonathan · Answer

It depends where the nearest water source is. But as the feed for the outside is usually taken from the kitchen sink yes it been at the front can make it trickier if tea the closest feed.

Anthony · Answer

If you have toilet bathroom washing machine dishwasher at back not a problem.
The feed can be used for outside tap.
If you have a wash house or out side building with water this can be used.

If not it is floorboards up lots of pipe and expense.

Alternative get outside tap at front and buy longer hose.

Cameron · Answer

It depends on where there's access to a cold feed, it doesn't have to come from the kitchen.

Kevin · Answer

Hi Jackie,

It does, the pipe work would have to run through the house, so for example under the floor boards, or  the pipe work will need to run out from where your kitchen is and around to the back the pipe will be exposed, but it can be done.

Hope that helps

Is your bathroom at the back of the house. If so this is doable

Ruairi · Answer

Possibly  , you could possibly run from upstairs bathroom

Gary · Answer

It can be but anything I’d possible - it’s how you do it ? You can generally pick up Pipework fro m roofspace and conceal it nicely within a waste pipe and lagging internally -

Lee · Answer

depends on subfloor downstairs. if timber can go below or if concrete on face of skirtings and boxed in . is there an upstairs bathroom on the back of the house

Richard · Answer

No as you could use a downstairs toilet or upstairs toilet or bathroom

Jamie · Answer

Hello, 
Slightly but it will still be possible as the pipe would be run round the outside of the house or if you have a bathroom at the back that would be better.

Adam · Answer

There is just a bit more work and materials involved in getting it around to the back

Dean · Answer

Yes but it can still be done if you have a walkway ie gable end path to the back of your house if you are a in a terraced house this makes it hard but no immposible
