Unblocking drain
"Having used Happy Drains previously, I contacted them about a blocked drain on my property. They responded immediately, sent engineers who were prompt, professional and friendly and had the job done in 25 minutes. Just to top it off, the price was the same as my last call-out with them two years ago. Excellent service all round. "
Blocked sewerage drains
"Happy Drains receptionist quickly arrange a visit the following morning to unblock our drains. 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. Excellent job by Happy Drains. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Quick polite and courteous."
Blocked kitchen gully
"Ben and Sean were excellent, cleared our blockage in no time, then checked further down the run and cleared a mass of roots from another manhole we had no idea had a problem. Punctual, polite and efficient. A job well done."
Jet washing rainwater drain
"The job was done quickly and thoroughly by Derick who was polite and considerate throughout."

Barnard Castle Drain Locating, Mapping and Plotting
With the latest drainage tech, we can send a radio wave emitting sonde into your Barnard Castle pipework, and we can then plot its courses as it traverses the pipework. We are then able to provide you with depths and directions of the inspection chamber we have access to, and we can include these in your technical report.
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.
Leading the pack with great reviews!

Blocked Drain
"Very quick and no fuss. Damien showed up on time and had all the equipment needed. Sink functioning in less than an hour. Highly recommend."
Outside drain blocked and overflowing.
"Happy Drains came when arranged, with a call ahead to give 30 minutes' notice of arrival. Their lovely gentleman assessed the blockage, explained what it was and how caused. And cleared it completely, in 15-20 minutes. He left the area 100% clean and tidy and finally, offered us some useful advice on managing the drain going forward. Could not have been a better customer experience and we'd recommend to anyone."

Drain cleared
"Happy Drains contacted me within minutes of posting my requirement. Their communication was always very clear, and the one time I misunderstood something, they immediately contacted me by phone to politely correct my error. The plumber contacted me by phone to give me 20 minutes notice of his arrival. On arrival, he immediately assessed the situation, and rectified it using equipment within the vehicle. The whole process took just minutes, and he explained the causes of the issue to me. At the same time he checked all other connected drains and made good the area."
