Bathroom drain unblocked

"The gent from Happy drains arrived promptly, explained what he planned to do, and resolved the issue quicker than expected. It was a smooth and friendly process and I'm very happy with the outcome."

Blocked kitchen sink drain

"I noticed that the patio was awash with soapy water and realised that the drain leading from the kitchen sink was blocked and overflowing. I phoned Happy Drains and they were so helpful. Arranged for someone to call round between 1 and 3. I arrived home at 12.55 to find them patiently waiting outside. They were very friendly and helpful. Did a thorough job clearing the drain, lifting the manhole cover and making sure the water was flowing freely. I was delighted with their service and would definitely recommend them."

Rats, mice, rodent and vermin drain problems

Rats will use drains just like ‘Londoners use the Tube’ simply to travel from A to B to feed and nest and they love damaged or redundant drainage systems which can allow vermin to enter properties.

If you have a rodent/vermin infestation that your rodent/vermin contractor cannot control, this may be because of a drainage issue.  We will find the defects and access points the rat may be using.   We will offer you an appropriate solution be it drain repair or the installation of a WRc tested and certified 'Anti Vermin / Non-Return Valve'.

What do our Anti Vermin/Non-Return Drain Valves do?

• Stops rats and other vermin from entering homes. In effect by fitting a stainless-steel flap, that acts as a one way swinging door allowing waste out but nothing back in.
• The rubber seal prevents noxious fumes and smells from entering properties.
• The flap has an inbuilt stainless steel plate to stop rodents biting through, providing efficient pest control.
• The valve is completely re-usable during any drain cleaning and drain maintenance purposes fully removal and re-usable.
• Stops backflow of effluent from a blocked main sewer flooding into your property back through the drainage system.
• The clever design means the flow of waste is increased when passing through the valve; reducing blockages.

1st time customer - Excellent experience

"1st time using Checkatrade. Polite and efficient experience from beginning to end, with clear/ transparent pricing + quick availability of plumber. I chose to use Happy Drains... who were available same day to unblock kitchen sink. Damian from Happy Drains was friendly and cheerful, but always polite and professional and persistent with unblocking drain. Damian had a powerful acqua vac that was required to unblock the drain. Not an easy job, but Damian persisted and determined to get job done. No surprises with charges...exactly as quoted and very reasonable. Recommended."

Blocked drains

"This was carried out for my 87yo mother, who lives 200miles from me. Your plumber was fantastic and really put my mother at ease. He was kind, understanding of my mother's vulnerability and highly professional. He went way beyond what might normally be expected. In an age where the elderly can be taken advantage of, I can only highly recommend Happy Drains as top class and value for money. "

Blocked drains

"We recently noticed our downstairs WC was not flushing properly, and our outside man hole, was flooding and smelt terribly. I got in contact with happy drains and they hooked someone in within the next 2 days as I requested. The guy came to site, and told me exactly what he was doing and what he thought the issue may be. He fixed it in great time and was very informative. I hope I don't need to call happy drains again, but if we ever need someone to help us in the future, we will look no further. 10/10"
