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 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.

Blockage in ground floor wc
The work was carried out very professionally and the problem was investigated to resolve the cause of the blockage. The final report was very detailed to explain the issue after completion of the work, which was very helpful to understand the problem. Images of the work were taken and sent in the final report with detailed actions taken. The team at Happy Drains kept me informed throughout the day of any issues.
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.

Retrieving ring from a drain.
Service was great from start to finish. The team arranged to get to me quickly and kept me informed by phone. The plumber was friendly and positive despite a tricky situation - he was creative with his solution and managed to retrieve my ring which was of great sentimental value. He also took care to clean up afterwards, I couldn't recommend Happy Drains more highly and will certainly use them again.
Customer in Penrith

Great service from start to finish.
Customer in Kendal
Investigate, unblock, repair and line watercourse pipe.
At all times the engineers proceeded with the job using high tech up to date equipment, which ensured the best quality result for the project. It was also really good that at any point in the project they were happy to explain what they were doing and why. Very reassuring, could trust them completely. Happy Drains also undertook the negotiations with my house insurance, which I came to realise as a good thing as I didn't know anything about pipes and drains, and didn't know what had happened to cause the damage, or what needed to be done to repair it. Thank you Happy Drains Ltd team.

We will produce a report to confirm, size, material, connections, junctions, conditions and directions of the foul drainage. Before carrying out the survey, we will assume that you will have made all chambers accessible and that the pipework is clear and without blockages.
When we carry out our surveys, we will make sure to include the areas that are your responsibility, and we will identify if the drain is shared and if any of the issues you may be having are on your boundary or not.

Kitchen drain Blocked
"I had a big block on my kitchen drain. My kitchen is the result of a garage conversion with long drains and hard access. Happy drains came after a few hours from my call and fixed the problem. They had to open an access on the laundry and charged a reasonable amount to do that. Very happy and would call them again!"
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."
