Kitchen Sink Drain Blockage
"Telephoned Happy Drains early morning. Was told a technician would come to me late afternoon. He arrived at 4pm after telephoning to advise his arrival time. He asked where the blockage was and then got on with clearing it. No time wasted. Once the U bend had been taken apart the blockage was sucked out. Then the U bend was reassembled to show me the blockage had been cleared. All done very efficiently and effectively with very little mess being caused. I was very pleased and impressed."

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!

Cleared a blocked drain
"Telephoned ahead of visit and arrived promptly. Very polite and informative offered follow-up advice and a new quote but wasn't pushy. Would definitely use again."

Drain unblock
"Great service from start to finish. Ordering the service was easy with the online form. The contact phone call early in the morning to confirm that Happy Drains rep would be with us between 0800-1200 was very comforting. The engineer himself was extremely professional and cleared the blockage very quickly. He then cleaned the whole system and ensured we had no other issues before he left. The cost of all this was very reasonable considering other comparable companies. Please pass on my thanks to all concerned. ?'??'??'?"
