Customer in Matlock
Fair set price, no funny business just a great and reliable service.
Brilliant as always. I've used Happy drains on many occasions for my holiday let properties and here is why - they charge a flat fee and never have a problem spending a little extra time if required, they are always professional and arrive on time and with the required equipment and always get the job done. If they can't fix it straight away they are quick with the CCTV to diagnose without charging silly money. They are honest, reliable and that is why I only use happy drains.

Quality work from Happy Drains.
Excellent service from start to finish with Happy Drains. Would highly recommend the company to others. Quality work carried out on site, was kept informed along the way, work completed to a high standard and was checked and rechecked before leaving site. They even cleared up the broken and damaged drain parts and made area looking good again before leaving. Felt pricing was fair given the work involved and happily paid the bill the same day as felt confident in the workmanship.

Customer in Wigston
Heavily blocked waste pipes.
Fantastic service and employees. Arranging the appointment was exceptionally easy as the people on the phones were friendly and efficient. Jason from Happy Drains arrived on time and even called ahead to let us know exactly when he'd be arriving. Jason was polite and friendly from beginning to end. He sorted out the problem far quicker than expected considering the dire state of the blockage. After he'd done a wonderful job he then explained exactly how it had happened in detail, what needed to be fixed and told me some preventative measures to help avoid the problem from recurring until then.

Drain clearance
"Provided a fast efficient and courteous service. Very Happy with their quality. Of service."
Blocked domestic manhole
"From the moment I picked up the phone to contact someone about the blockage to the work completed the service was exceptional. Kelly knew what work I would need doing with my frantic explanation and calmly and professionally advised she would contact me back with an update. 10 minutes later I was told I could have an engineer in as little as 2 hours. The engineer arrived promptly. Professional, friendly service carried out with honest and transparent future care advice. Was able to easily Apple Pay an hour later for service following my invoice. No hidden fees. Cost was as advised. Very happy."
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. "
Blocked Drainage
"Happy drains are very professional, nice and tidy service. Turned up on time, great thing they kept me informed of their arrival time and finished the job quickly. They definitely exceed my expectations. Will rebook them in future if need be."

Third time Happy
"This was the third time Happy Drains have helped us and each time the customer service and prompt service were 10/10."
Investigate and Clear External. Blocked Drain
"Was a great experience. Easy to organise. A touch late on the day but was kept informed.. Joe was great where he turned up. Explained everything and didn't upsell unnecessarily. Was efficient, polite and friendly. Great all round. Nice report/record at the end of it. Great contrast to some of the trade service experiences that you can have quite often. "
Unblock drain re kitchen sink
"Happy Drains sent Alex who was superbly focused and dedicated. He rapidly identified the blocked kitchen sink that had not been resolved by a plumber was a drainage issue (as suspected), found the drains, identified the correct one linked to the kitchen, sent a camera down to find the blockage, and rinsed it away with high pressure water jet. Took an hour, with a lot accomplished. No additional or unexpected charges. Very happy with their service and professionalism (given dealing with these sorts of issues can be a minefield of distrust)."
New frame & drain cover plus cement surround
"Lovely company to deal with. Friendly helpful staff. Contractors arrived on time & delivered exactly what we'd booked. Even though it was just drain cover it was finished off really nicely. Looks nice & smart again now. Thank you! "

Unblocking of drain/sewage pipe
"The drain engineer arrived punctually. He made the area safe for passers by, as the drain hole cover was in the pavement outside in the street. He cleared the immediate blockage with a rod but then used the power water jet to flush out the whole pipe and clear away the accumulated grease and fat causing the blockage. At one point he practically disappeared inside the drain to remove a ball of fat with his hand! He was extremely thorough and efficient and left the drain sparkling clean! He was polite and friendly throughout. An overall top notch service!"
Blocked sewage drain
"Their Engineer arrived on schedule and was extremely professional, courteous and polite. He wasted no time in clearing the blocked drain and gave advice. We will definitely call Happy Drains again in the future if we have a drain issue."
Clear blocked drain and manhole and identify the cause
" Company quoted a fixed price, the engineer arrived the following day as promised and professionally fixed the fault. Very happy with the service."

Ashbourne and Derbyshire drain services from a firm receiving great feedback...

Kitchen drain not clearing outside.
"After trying to clear outside gully by hand, I feared a major underground issue. After seeing good reviews, I called Happy Drains Norwich. A non urgent visit was agreed 8am-12. On the day, He called to advise on the way. Shortly after, he called again to advise that he had to attend an emergency and would it be OK in 1 hour. I agreed and he arrived in originally agreed time window. Relying on experience, he determined that the gully outlet was in a surprise position and he removed bits of concrete and old fat. Quick job but fee was ok for his experience and his very flexible wrists!"
Clearing blocked drains
"I called the company after a recommendation and a man arrived later the same day. He was friendly and professional, quickly set up the equipment and worked his magic with the two blocked drains. He offered advice on keeping the drains clear in future and made sure the area was clean and tidy before he left. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm."
Unblock drain in garage
"Called out to unblock drain in garage. Arrived within 2 hours, cleared the drain for a good fixed price. Very happy with the results. "
