How much does a outside tap fitting cost in Dewsbury and Batley?

Questions

Do outside taps need a check valve?

Yes. UK water regulations require backflow protection, usually a double check valve, so dirty water can't be drawn back into the mains.

How do I stop it freezing?

Turn off the inside isolation valve in winter and open the outside tap to drain it, or fit an insulated cover.
