"The Happy Drains service was fantastic. Within half an hour of my calling, they had arrived and the chap was very helpful and polite. Nothing was too much trouble, and everything was taken care of in 20 minutes though it was a tough job. Good price with no hidden extras and completely fair - I can't recommend them highly enough! "

We received a call 45 mins before arrival and the drains which had been blocked for 48 hours were unblocked within a few minutes, which was excellent as man hole covers in a neighbours garden were opened and showed that the drains were being exclusively used by our house.
