Due to a stupid mistake by myself, we ended up with a leak in our hallway upstairs that found its way into our kitchen! A quick call to Terry and arrangements made for one of his team to come and fix which they did, very efficiently and professionally and the young fella that did the job was a credit to TM Hughes! Being an ex Royal Mail employee, I recognised this as a 'First Class' service.....I will definitely be using this company again and will gladly recommend in the future.

Very reliable and helpful team. They responded quickly to an urgent gas issue, resolving it without any hassle and at a very fair price. They also do my annual boiler service, again at a good price and on a date that suits. 2026 Update, once again this company does exactly what it promises to do and is totally reliable.

Waste Disposal Units: What They Are And How They Work

A Waste Disposal Unit is a must-have tool for modern kitchens. They also provide a cleaner, eco-friendlier living environment. 

Strategically located beneath the kitchen sink, this hard-working appliance epitomises convenience and reliability.

Food preparation and cooking pleasure is undermined by the less appealing sight and smell of food scraps. 

Enter the waste disposal unit. Its primary task? Grinding down your unwanted leftovers into minute particles reduces the volume of kitchen waste and helps you keep your cooking area clean and pleasant.

The beauty of a waste disposal unit lies in its simplicity. Using a combination of high-speed grinding mechanisms and a rush of water, it pulverises food scraps into tiny fragments. 

These particles then flow seamlessly along with wastewater into the sewer system, leaving you with a clean sink, free of food debris.

Fit Seamlessly Into Your Kitchen

Waste disposal units are engineered to fit seamlessly into your kitchen. 

Their compact design allows them to be integrated neatly underneath the sink, out of sight yet within easy reach. 

The unit is typically attached directly to the underside of the sink drain, replacing the standard drain assembly. 

The installation involves attaching a mounting bracket to the sink drain, which holds the unit in place. 

The waste disposal unit is twisted onto this bracket, creating a watertight connection between the unit and the sink. 

Once installed, the device is virtually invisible from above, with only the power switch indicating its presence. 

All the mechanics are neatly tucked under the sink, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of the waste disposal unit without sacrificing any space in your kitchen. 

Self Cleaning & Low Maintenance

Furthermore, waste disposal units are durable and require little maintenance, while the initial installation requires professional installation. Once in place, these appliances offer years of service, providing high value for a relatively low investment.

Waste disposal units are engineered so that their very operation ensures self-cleaning. As these devices grind food scraps into tiny particles with a whirl of high-speed impellers, the centrifugal force this action creates forces the ground waste and water against the grind ring. 

This continuous rinsing and grinding action under substantial water flow help to flush the particles through the unit and into the drainage system, thus cleaning the interior of the disposal unit in the process.

A Small Yet Powerful Force Against Environmental Waste

The waste disposal unit is also a small yet powerful force against environmental waste. By rerouting organic waste away from landfills, where it would otherwise generate harmful methane gas as it decomposes, these units help to significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. 

The Waste Disposal Unit simplifies our kitchen cleaning and contributes significantly to conserving the environment.
