I wouldn't hesitate to recommend TM Hughes. The water from my bath and sink was draining extremely slowly. We had tried liquid drain unblockers but these had failed. After a visit from Terry and one of his fantastic plumbers our water now gushes away at a rate we've never seen before. A huge thank you to both of them.

Waste Disposal Unit Installation

Waste Disposal Unit Installation is a swift and tidy process when undertaken by one of our experienced Plumbers.

The first step is contacting us for a free, no-obligation quote.

Here’s how we would install your New Waste Disposal Unit.

Disconnect the Plumbing and Remove the Old Unit: Our plumber will first disconnect an existing waste disposal unit. This involves turning off the power, detaching the drain arm from the disposal unit, and unscrewing the unit from the sink flange.
Prepare the New Disposal: The plumber will then prepare the new waste disposal unit for installation. This typically involves attaching the power cable and mounting ring.
Install the Sink Flange and Mounting Ring: The plumber will apply plumber’s putty around the sink flange, place it into the drain hole, and then attach the mounting ring underneath the sink.
Attach the Waste Disposal: The plumber will lift the waste disposal to the mounting ring and turn it until it locks into place.
Connect the Drain: The plumber will then connect the drain pipe or dishwasher drain.
Test the Disposal: Finally, the plumber will test the disposal to ensure it works correctly. This includes checking for leaks and ensuring the disposal grinds properly.

Once installed, your Waste Disposal Unit will provide years of trouble-free service and multiple benefits, which include:

Reduces household waste
Complements composting efforts
Simplifies post-meal cleanup
Prevents plumbing issues
Benefits wastewater treatment
Saves kitchen space
Supports modern kitchen design
Enhances property value
Improves kitchen hygiene
Reduces greenhouse gas emissions
Easy to clean

Waste Disposal Unit Repairs

We offer Repairs for those who already have waste disposal units. Typical repairs include

Jammed Disposal

Jamming occurs when something gets lodged in the disposal, preventing the motor from spinning. A plumber or trained professional may need to manually turn the blades to dislodge the item.

Leaking

Jamming occurs at several points, such as the sink flange, dishwasher hose, or drain pipe. It usually requires replacing the seal or tightening the connections.

Impeller Wear and Tear

The blades, or impellers, can become dull over time, reducing waste disposal efficiency. They may need to be replaced.

Faulty Electrical Connection

If the disposal isn’t turning on, there may be an issue with the electrical connection. This could involve replacing the switch or the entire unit.

Drain Pipe Blockage

If the disposal seems to be working, but water is backing up, there might be a clog in the drain pipe. This might require pipe cleaning or unclogging.

Unusual Noise

If the disposal makes a lot of noise, something might be stuck in it, or there could be a problem with the motor. This could require a range of repairs, depending on the cause.

Unit Replacement

Sometimes, especially with older units, the cost-effective solution may be to replace the entire garbage disposal unit rather than attempting to repair it.
