FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Watch for humming without grinding, repeated resets, water leaks under the sink, slow drainage, persistent odors, or tripped circuit breakers. Any of these symptoms indicate internal wear, jammed impellers, motor problems, or faulty seals that our licensed Lancing plumbers can diagnose and fix safely.
Why should I hire a licensed plumber in Lancing instead of doing the repair myself or calling a handyman?
Garbage disposals combine water, electricity, and sharp metal parts. Licensed plumbers follow UK plumbing codes, carry insurance, and have the training to troubleshoot wiring, drainage, and mechanical issues without voiding warranties or creating safety hazards. Choosing a certified local technician in Lancing protects your home and ensures a compliant, lasting repair.
How fast can your Lancing technicians come out for a garbage disposal emergency?
We offer same-day service for calls received before 2 pm and 24-hour emergency dispatch for severe leaks or complete unit failure. Most customers in the Lancing area receive a visit within 2–4 hours, thanks to our locally based, fully stocked vans.
Will my garbage disposal have to be replaced, or can it usually be repaired?
About 70 % of the units we inspect can be repaired by freeing jams, replacing seals, or installing a new reset switch. If the motor is burned out, the grind ring is cracked, or the unit is over 10 years old, replacement is often more cost-effective. We’ll present both options with transparent pricing so you can decide what’s best for your budget.
How much does professional garbage disposal repair cost in Lancing?
Minor jam removal or reset adjustments start around £65–£85. More involved repairs—such as replacing gaskets, splash guards, or wiring—typically range from £120–£180, including parts and labour. We provide a fixed, written quote before work begins, and there’s no call-out fee if you approve the repair.
What maintenance tips can prevent future clogs or jams after the repair?
Run cold water for 15–20 seconds before and after use, feed waste gradually, and avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), grease, coffee grounds, and expandable starches like pasta or rice. Monthly, grind a tray of ice cubes with a little rock salt to sharpen blades and scour buildup. Finally, freshen the unit with citrus peels and schedule an annual check-up with our Lancing plumbing team to keep everything running smoothly.
