*Combined shipping* - If you are buying a basin or taps with any other item, please contact us first so we can combine overseas postage

Are these suitable for commercial use?
- No. All of our taps are designed for domestic use only, indoors or outdoors, and are not sold as suitable for commercial premises.

Can I buy just one of the taps?
-Yes. This is available to buy as one tap from the Custom Tap Collection

Can I order more than the quantity currently shown?
-Yes. We often have more available than shown in the listing, but we limit stock numbers online to help maintain our dispatch times. If you would like a larger quantity, please contact us and we can increase the listing.

Are your taps made to order?
-Yes. All of our taps are made to order with a usual dispatch time of 3–5 working days. If your order is urgent, please contact us before purchasing, as earlier dispatch can often be arranged.

Can I return the taps if they are unsuitable?
-.This specific listing is for a custom size made to measure pair of taps which have been made specifically to your own measurements therefore they are generally not refundable.

These taps are bespoke size & made to your own specific measurements -  Bespoke items are exempt from The Consumer Act 2015 and Distance Selling Regulations and cannot be returned if you have mis-measured or they are unsuitable.

The measurements available are not suitable for me, can the taps be made any taller? -This style cannot be made any taller as the 15mm copper pipework would not be strong enough. However, we have another style of tap which has 22mm exposed copper pipework meaning it can be made taller. See our Deck Mounted Tap Collection

What size is the tap head?
-Please refer to the listing photographs and dimensions section for exact measurements.

Do you sell other copper and brass tap styles?
-Yes. We offer over 20 styles, including single taps, pillar taps, wall-mounted taps, and mixer taps. Please see our complete Tap Collection for the full range.

What size is the water inlet pipework?
-All of our taps have a standard UK 15mm copper mains water inlet pipe below the counter even when the exposed pipe is 22mm as is the case with some of our chunkier taps

Will the 15mm pipework fit if I am buying from outside the UK?
-Our taps are made with standard UK 15mm inlet pipework, so suitability will depend on the plumbing standard in your country. In many cases, where local pipework is a different size, adaptors are available. We recommend checking that a suitable adaptor can be sourced locally if needed, before purchase if you are ordering from outside the UK.

Can these be be fitted directly into a basin or sink hole?
-No. These are designed to be fitted onto a countertop, not into pre-cast basin or sink holes. They are secured from above using the 6 screws provided rather than by back nuts underneath.

Can these be used with a bath?
-These will fit some baths but be sure to check your mains water supply to the bath is 15mm, some older properties have a different size pipework.

Can these be fitted in a camper van or shepherd’s hut?
-Yes. Our taps are often used in camper vans, shepherd’s huts, and horse box conversions. Please note that camper van pipework is often smaller than standard 15mm, so a reducing fitting may be required.

Can these be used outdoors?
-Yes. All of our taps are suitable for outdoor use.

How do I connect the taps to my water inlet?
-These are supplied as complete fittings which are pre soldered with 15mm copper pipe which fits to your mains water supply below the counter. Your water mains inlet can be connected using soldered, compression, or push-fit fittings.

Can these be fitted to quartz, granite, marble, concrete, or slate worktops?
-We do not recommend fitting to these surfaces. The taps are secured to your fitting area from above with the provided screws directly into the top, not with back nuts underneath so they are best suited to wooden or laminate surfaces.

How do I keep the copper and brass shiny?
-Copper and brass will naturally tarnish over time. To keep them polished, we recommend a quick clean every week or two using Brasso wadding or a similar metal polish. If you prefer a darker, aged patina, simply leave the metal unpolished and it will develop naturally over time.

When will my order arrive?
-Our usual dispatch time is 3–5 working days as each tap is made to order. Orders are normally sent by Royal Mail Tracked 48, or Tracked 24 for urgent orders where agreed.
