Customer in Nuneaton
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.

Heavily blocked waste pipes.
Fantastic service and employees. Arranging the appointment was exceptionally easy as the people on the phones were friendly and efficient.

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.

Drainage survey
"Honestly the most efficient business I have come across. Called up and had a drainage survey booked in within 5 minutes at a very reasonable price. Jason who conducted the survey was very polite and helpful and William was great with getting the survey over to me in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend."
kitchen drain completely blocked
"Their service was exceptional. Very professional, and they solved the most important problem! Considering that two plumbers and Thames Water visited us but only tried to rush and squeeze extra money, resolving the problem partially. "
sewer pipe blockage
"Tommy & Gordon Happy Drains' amazing guys, saved me from another drainage company I called who overcharged for their incomplete services and wanted several £1000's! for further work! Found & phoned Happy Drains for second opinion. Will @ Happy Drains was so helpful and got Tommy & Gordon on the case. They arrived promptly and using their camera technology found the issue, and cleared the drains. No additional work required! Received very clear report of work with photos. Very reasonable price. Honest, trustworthy, tidy and HAPPY, cannot praise them enough!!!!!!!!!! "
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. "
My unhappy drain is now delightful
"My stinky drain, was a source of shame. Seems its leaves to blame, but Happy Drains came and now its new name is Delightful Drain!! Excellent service, from start to finish. Friendly, informative, efficient and I would highly recommend to anyone who also wants a delightful drain :)"

1st time customer - Excellent experience
"1st time using Checkatrade. Polite and efficient experience from beginning to end, with clear/ transparent pricing + quick availability of plumber. I chose to use Happy Drains... who were available same day to unblock kitchen sink. Damian from Happy Drains was friendly and cheerful, but always polite and professional and persistent with unblocking drain. Damian had a powerful acqua vac that was required to unblock the drain. Not an easy job, but Damian persisted and determined to get job done. No surprises with charges...exactly as quoted and very reasonable. Recommended."
Unblock an outside pipe
"Unfortunately the pipe was blocked with concrete which appears to have happened when the garden fence was erected. However, the tradesman wrote the reason it was blocked on the invoice which helped when I contacted the tradesmen who erected the fence."
Drain clearance
"I called Happy Drains to attend to an overflowing drain manhole in our front drive. Their response on the telephone was prompt, courteous and helpful. Their engineer arrived slightly earlier than arranged, after telephoning to confirm that this would be acceptable. He fixed the problem in less than 30 minutes, and checked that everything was satisfactory before leaving. "
