Are you tired of handling food waste in your kitchen? A waste disposal unit will make your life easier by grinding down and disposing of food waste, keeping your kitchen clean and hygienic. At TM Hughes & Son, our expert plumbers in Rayleigh offer professional installation, repair, and replacement services for waste disposal units.

  • Experienced and insured Plumbers
  • Free no-obligation quotes
  • No call-out charges for repairs

Why Choose a Waste Disposal Unit?

A waste disposal unit is a convenient and environmentally friendly addition to your kitchen, allowing you to:

  • Effortlessly dispose of food scraps with the push of a button.
  • Reduce kitchen odours by minimising food waste left in bins.
  • Prevent drain blockages caused by leftover food particles.

The waste disposal unit is nestled under your kitchen sink and grinds food waste into minuscule particles. 

When loaded with waste food, a motor spins a plate equipped with impellers that fling the food against the grind ring. 

This action breaks the waste into tiny bits, which are flushed down the drain with running water, streamlining your kitchen clean-up, reducing waste volume, and creating a more hygienic environment. 

Installation of Waste Disposal Units

When installing a waste disposal unit, the importance of a professional fitting cannot be overstated. 

An improperly installed unit could cause multiple problems, including leaks and blockages. 

The installation process is a meticulous one. Initially, any old unit is disconnected and removed. Then, the new disposal unit is prepared for installation, including attaching the power cord and mounting ring. 

The next step involves installing the sink flange and mounting ring. Once set, the waste disposal unit is attached, followed by the drain connection. 

Finally, the disposal is tested to ensure proper function and the absence of leaks. 

A quick and straightforward process when undertaken by one of our Plumbers.

Common Problems with Waste Disposal Units

As with any appliance, waste disposal units may encounter issues over time. 

The common problems range from jammed disposals and overheating to leaking and unusual noises. 

Wear and tear on impellers, faulty electrical connections, and drain pipe blockages also occur. 

While some issues may seem minor, it is essential to recognise them, as they can escalate into significant problems if addressed promptly.

Waste Disposal Unit Repair Services

We offer waste disposal unit repair services with no call-out charges.

Our skilled Plumbers can effectively unjam disposals, repair leaks, replace worn impellers, or solve any other issue you may be experiencing.
