The boiler engineer Pawel was able to get us earlier than the appointment time which suited us. He was very friendly and answered my questions fully.
He carried out the boiler service expeditiously and his method of working was very tidy.
No qualms about recommending TM Hughes and will use them next year for our service

T M Hughes i can highly recommend for your electrical work. I had no idea who to ask to sort out the failed ceiling light in our bathroom. Impressed by the reviews & their website, i phoned & spoke to Andy. He arranged for Paul to be at my home the next day. Paul arrived next day. He fitted new lights to the bathroom & toilet ceiling in one hour. All work nicely carried out, no problem. A few weeks later, Andy & Paul arrived to fit a new PIR light to the side wall of our house. Again, a lovely professional job done in an hour. I supplied all the lights, i just required professionals to fit them safely for me.
Very pleased to have found T M Hughes. I will use them for all my electrical work in future. Prices are fair, the work done to a very high standard. Thank you Andy & Paul.

4 Reasons Why You Should Consider A Waste Disposal Unit
- Convenience: Waste disposal units offer a quick and easy way to eliminate kitchen waste, reducing the need for multiple trips to the outdoor bin.
- Hygiene: By grinding food waste immediately, these units help prevent the build-up of rotting food in your kitchen bin, leading to a more hygienic kitchen environment.
- Eco-friendly: With a waste disposal unit, food waste can be processed in wastewater facilities, reducing the amount of waste going into landfills and hence, reducing methane emissions.
- Reduce Waste Volume: Waste disposal units can significantly reduce the volume of your household waste.
Waste disposal units offer a practical, environmentally friendly solution for food waste management.
How A Waste Disposal Unit Works
A waste disposal unit is an appliance installed underneath the kitchen sink. It is designed to shred food waste into small pieces, typically less than 2 mm in size, making it easier to be washed away through the plumbing system.
Here’s a simplified step-by-step guide on how it works:
- The input of Waste: The process starts when you put food waste into the sink and then turn on the tap. The running water and the food waste pass through the sink drain into the disposal unit.
- Grinding Chamber: The waste enters a grinding chamber inside the disposal unit. This chamber is equipped with a spinning disc or impellers attached to a rotating plate.
- Shredding of Waste: As the waste disposal unit is switched on, the rotating plate turns, forcing the food waste onto the outer wall of the grinding chamber. The waste is ground down into small particles by the impellers, small, hammer-like devices mounted on the rotating plate.
- Ejection of Waste: The water from the sink continues to run during this process, washing the finely ground particles down the drain and into the wastewater system.
- Waste Processing: Ground food waste is treated at wastewater facilities or enters a septic system.
What Types Of Food Can Be Used In A Waste Disposal Unit?
Waste Disposal Units can handle a wide variety of food types which include
- Small Bones and Fish Bones: While large, hard bones should be avoided, small chicken or fish bones can be ground up by a disposal unit.
- Fruit Scraps: Parts of fruits you don’t consume, like apple cores or the tops of strawberries, can be disposed of.
- Vegetable Scraps: The same goes for vegetable scraps like the ends of carrots, stems of peppers etc.
- Cooked Meat Scraps: Small pieces of cooked meat, like those remaining after a meal, can also be disposed of in the unit.
- Small Pieces of Citrus Fruits: Small pieces of citrus, like lemons or oranges, can freshen up your disposal unit and help clean it.
- Coffee Grounds: In small amounts, coffee grounds can help eliminate odours in the disposal. But too much can accumulate and cause clogs, so moderation is key.
- Egg Shells: There’s a common misconception that eggshells sharpen disposal blades, which isn’t true, but they are generally safe for the disposal unit and can help clean its walls.
