Kitchen sink drain cleared
"The engineer from Happy Drains cleared my slow running kitchen sink drain in minutes. The plumbing is not straightforward but he saw the issue and cleared the blockage very quickly without wasting time. He was very thorough and cleaned up afterwards. My sink now drains faster than it has in years and I am very happy. I was told exactly how much it would cost beforehand, so no hidden extras, plus the engineer offered a 28 day call back for free if the issue wasn't resolved. "

Unblock Outside Drain
"The only thing they drained was my bank account for a £75 plus VAT call out charge. However in all fairness they are a business not a charity and it's not their fault at least they turned up and attempted to unblock it on a Saturday as well (I called them same day) very responsive! It's now an Anglian Water problem."
