Highly recommend
I used Happy drains to survey the drains of the house I bought in Kew Gardens SW London. From the initial phone call they were professional and efficient and friendly. The guy turned up on time, very professional and knew his stuff. Turnaround of the report was super quick, it was comprehensive, and included video and was easy to share with the estate agent . It gave me peace of mind to continue with the purchase. They were competitively priced and I would highly recommend
Customer in Kilburn
Highly recommend.
Called Happy Drains as although drain wasn't blocked it was smelling and there were drains flies. Excellent communication from all, keeping me informed as to time etc. They came the next day, on time, and hosed the drains out. Very nice guy, did the job efficiently, left drain clean and running freely, and within a few days 99% of the drains flies were gone. Highly recommend.

Excellent Service - Tommy Was Thorough and Professional!
I had a great experience with Happy Drains. Tommy did a fantastic job addressing my drainage issue. He was professional and thorough, providing a detailed explanation of the blockage and how to prevent it in the future. It's a relief to have everything flowing properly again. Highly recommend their services if you want the job done right!

Customer in Clapham
Drain clearance/ jetting
Had amazing customer service yesterday! Called for an urgent drain clearance on a construction site and within one hour they'd already been to site and cleared it for us. Very impressed! Been using these guys for drain surveys in the construction industry for years but first time actually using them for clearing a blockage...was affordable, super quick and will go back to them for certain. Oh, and you don't have to pay up front which is nice, they seem to focus on customer service rather than the commercial side of the business...very rare these days.
Customer in Tooting
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.

Cleaned outside drain in courtyard.
Friendly, helpful and diligent workers who cleaned my drain quickly and efficiently. They even showed me how to do it should I want to do it myself in the future. Would 100% have them again. Thank you!
Customer in Streatham
Clear a blocked external drain
We had a really bad rip off experience with 'Plumbing Force' right before we called Happy Drains to help. So we were nervous but they were great from the start. Professional on the phone, engineer called 15 mins before arrival to let us know he was near. Sean was great in helping with this and was completely cool about accessing another drain buried under decking and a fence, nothing was a problem, he went above and beyond. The problem could not be solved due to no access to a second drain, but the engineer did everything he could and we will be having them do the 2nd part of the job.
Customer in Wandsworth
Very helpful and tidy guys.

Great job. No messing around and a competent honest service at a fair price.
Customer in Stockwell
unblocking a external RW downpipe
A team of two arrived. A bit later than promised, but they kept me in the loop re arrival time. They had apparently had a stressed day on previous jobs, hence a little late, but were still extremely helpful and cheerful. Also Happy drains were also well priced for the work with the contact team also charming and helpful. I will definitely recommend this company and use them again!
