Re: outdoor tap
I bought mine over 18 months ago and i have a fella who is more than capable of fitting it! his excuse was that he didnt have the right drill bit (the big massive one to go through the wall) so i bought him one now his excuse is that he dont have the smaller one "because you cant just drill a hole you know!" you need a guide hole and blagh blagh blagh like i care just fit the flippin tap! lol
So its no good me lending you my fella to fit it! in fact he would probably have yours done in half an hour its just stuff i need doing that he can seem to do my half a job bob!.

Re: outdoor tap
If you are a tenant you might need permission before having one put in, because it needs a hole through the wall.

Re: outdoor tap
I fitted my own tap - probably like the one you have bought and it was a nightmare to get through lovely nori brick...as someone already said you need more than 1 drill bit to start off ..small hole - then bigger etc...my poor drill was practically smoking by the time I got through !!
and if it wasnt for the fact I am building a pergola swing for the baby boy I would do it for you...not much help to you I know - but maybe your as well as phoning an odd job man in the paper to do it..save a lot of faffing about..
