We recently had a Hive thermostat fitted by this company. We had not used them before - we would highly recommend them. They phoned to tell us they were on their way and the fitting was very efficient - the engineer Alex was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you very much for the work done.

What Is A Waste Disposal Unit?

A waste disposal unit is a device that is installed under a kitchen sink between the drain and the trap. 

Its primary purpose is to shred food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than 2 mm—to pass through pipes into the sewer.

The waste disposal unit uses an impeller and grinding ring to break down the food waste. 

When switched on, the motor spins the impeller plate, forcing the food waste onto the grinding ring, which is broken down into liquid and small particles. 

This mixture is then efficiently washed down the drain, preventing the waste from ending up in a landfill.

It’s an efficient way to deal with food waste and helps to minimise the overall amount of household waste that needs to be collected and processed, which is excellent for the environment.

Features Of Waste Disposal Units

Waste disposal units have numerous beneficial features to enhance their functionality, safety, and environmental footprint. 

They can process any food, making kitchen cleanup a breeze. 

Furthermore, they are self-cleaning, and regular use helps to maintain the unit’s longevity.

Waste disposal units are also energy-efficient, consume minimal electricity, and have low water usage. 

Instead of blades, they use grinders for safe and effective waste breakdown, reducing the risk of accidental injuries. If the unit gets jammed, it is designed for easy unblocking.

Adaptable to any kitchen setup, waste disposal units can be installed with single or half-bowl sinks made of any material. 

They offer quiet operation and be connected to the hot water supply for enhanced performance. Also, they are compatible with septic tanks.

Fast Installation

One of our experienced plumbers can typically install waste disposal swiftly, especially if it’s a replacement for an existing unit. 

If it’s a first-time installation in the system and adjustments to the plumbing need to be made, it may take slightly longer. However, the process is still quick, tidy and disruption-free.

Our Plumber will give you an accurate time frame during your free no-obligation survey and quote.
