take your own water would be a good start, hose/tap in someone house your asking for trouble IMO I really hope your insured for it or you will learn at your expense ::)

I need a tap because I dont have a proper setup at the moment. the customer will be there.
Ideally they would have an outside tap but not everyone does.

Did that myself years ago and you will always get a leak. Find the drain off under the sink and put the hose on that and do it up with a jubilee clip and you will have no probs. Its flow rate you need,not pressure. I used to do a 45ft job this way with my old di Tucker system.

arrive at house and turn off washing machine tap, change hose for yours and connect your hose to the pipe
turn on washing machine tap , do job
turn off tap and then disconnect and connect back up washing machine

As i do a handy bit of powerwashing.. I regurlarly come across houses with no outside taps. I carry all the various tap conectors with me.. From outside tap to square tap to round tap.. B&Q stock them and hozelock make them.. Your going to come across this again by the sounds of it..

J H Im actually oxfordshire way now.

Adam why don't you offer to fit an outside tap for say £40.
All you need is a decent drill and a £10 tap kit from B&Q - should take no more than 30 minutes

Oh I have a decent drill and many many thousands of drill bits. Im also a supplier :)
Not a bad idea but wouldnt know where to start with it to be honest.

Right - this is wot you do.
Find the pipe leading to the gas cooker. Drill into it and listen to the pretty hissing noise (if you haven't died in the ensuing house-demolishing explosion) then call out the fire brigade and barbecue some sausages on the embers!
