What you get

Waste disposal unit fitting & repair in London: what the price includes

  • 01
    Supply and fit

    Continuous-feed units matched to your sink flange and cabinet space.

  • 02
    Jams and resets

    Most “dead” units are a tripped overload or a spoon, freed, reset and tested in one visit.

  • 03
    Leak repairs

    Sink flange, hose and trap connections resealed with the cabinet checked for damage.

  • 04
    Removals

    Unit out, standard waste rebuilt, dishwasher connection preserved.

  • 05
    Trap and waste reworked, not reused

    A disposal unit changes the height and the flow of everything under the sink. Reusing the old bottle trap is why so many retrofits weep at the joint or block within weeks. The waste run gets rebuilt to suit the unit, with the dishwasher spigot kept above the trap.

What this means in London

Local conditions we work around

Two things shape planned plumbing in London: hard water and the buildings themselves. Scale shortens the life of every fitting with a moving part, so we specify accordingly rather than fitting whatever is cheapest. And a large share of the housing is flats within older conversions or mansion blocks, where the pipework you can see is a fraction of what matters. Shared risers, communal stopcocks, freeholder consent and conservation-area constraints on anything visible all get established at the survey, before a date is agreed.

Straight answers

Waste disposal unit fitting & repair in London, your questions

Mine hums but won't spin
Jammed flywheel, hex-key release and jam removal, a standard small-job visit. Never put your hand in, even switched off at the wall.
Are they allowed with a macerator or septic tank?
With macerators, no. With septic systems, only specific models and it changes your emptying schedule, we'll tell you honestly if your setup shouldn't have one.
What does fitting cost?
From £240 fitted to an existing compatible sink; flange conversions add a little. Repairs sit in the standard rate card.
Will it block my drain?
Not if it is used as intended with plenty of cold water running. What blocks drains is fat, and a disposal unit does not deal with fat any better than a plughole does. In an older London property on original clay drainage we will tell you honestly if we think it is a bad idea.
Continuous feed or batch feed?
Continuous feed is more convenient and much more common. Batch feed needs the stopper in place to run, which makes it the safer choice in a house with young children. Both fit the same waste arrangement.
It hums but does not turn, is it dead?
Usually not. That is a jam, and most units have a hex key socket underneath to free the plate, plus a reset button. If it trips again immediately after freeing it, then it is the motor and it is worth replacing rather than repairing.
Does London water affect what you would fit?
It shapes it. At 280 to 320 ppm, scale shortens the life of anything with a moving part in it, so we specify for hard water rather than fitting whatever is cheapest, ceramic cartridges that tolerate scale, isolation valves so the inevitable service is a short job, and a scale reducer on the main where the property warrants it.
