Unblock an outside drain
"The staff at the office very kind and well spoken.. The work was completed on time. Invoice sent on email with photographs before the job and after the work was completed. Perfect as I am a landlord and can't always attend when the repairs are taking place to see what was done. Thanks to happy drains I'm a happy landlord until the next job?... "
Outside runoff drain to mains was backed up and overflowing.
"Called them on a Saturday when the drain was especially playing up and within 20 minutes they rang back with the job booked in for the Monday. Friendly, prompt service on the phone, same again when the fella turned up. Done in 10 minutes. Didn't have to pay him then and there, but instead was issued online invoice and link to super-simple payment procedure. Brilliant. Highly recommended; will definitely use them again - just hope I won't have to! "

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. "
Clearing of a blocked drain line just past the interceptor
"I have used Happy Drains before, and again they provided a fast and excellent service from the original phone call right up to the finished job. Work carried out quickly with care, consideration, and cleanliness. Everything was left tidy, clean and in place. I would highly recommend Happy Drains. Finally, the cost of £114 (inc.VAT) and was value for money. I can't help but thank this company for its continued high level of service"
