#1 Waste Disposal Unit Installation & Repair in Auckland

A waste disposal unit is one of the most convenient tools in any modern kitchen. It helps keep your kitchen clean, reduces the amount of food waste going to landfills, and makes meal preparation and clean-up much easier. But like any appliance, it needs to be installed correctly and maintained properly. If not, it can quickly turn into a source of leaks, blockages, or breakdowns.

Waste Disposal Unit Installation

When you invest in a new waste disposal unit, professional installation makes all the difference. Many DIY installations or poorly fitted units end up causing leaks or damage that could have been avoided. Our waste disposal unit installation service includes:

Assessing your kitchen plumbing to ensure compatibility
Safely installing the unit and securing all connections
Testing the unit to confirm it runs smoothly
Checking for leaks or weak points that could cause future issues
Providing tips for safe and efficient use

Most installations can be completed in under two hours, depending on your setup. Once we’re finished, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your new unit has been fitted correctly.

Waste Disposal Unit Repair

Is your unit not working as it should? Common problems include jams, strange noises, slow draining, leaks under the sink, or the unit refusing to switch on. Our waste disposal unit repair service is designed to get your kitchen back in order fast. In many cases, repairs are more cost-effective than replacing the entire unit. We handle:

Clearing blockages and jams
Fixing leaks or loose seals
Replacing worn-out parts
Repairing electrical issues
Diagnosing recurring faults

Because we carry parts and tools with us, most repairs can be done on the spot. If your unit is beyond repair, we’ll give you honest advice about replacement and can install a new one for you straight away.

On call 24 hours, 7 days a week.
