Customer in Basildon
Great communication and fixed price drain clearance
From the first phone call enquiring about drain clearance with Emily to the actual work being carried out was less than 3 hours. I knew immediately upfront what the cost would be and how much extra if a Saturday call out was needed. I was kept informed by phone and email and received a call from the engineers 30 mins prior to arrival. They very quickly identified and cleared the problem clearing up any slight mess they made. Hope not to need this service again but if I do would Happily use Happy drains again.

Customer in Chelmsford
Outside runoff drain to mains was backed up and overflowing.
Called them on a Saturday when the drain was especially playing up and within 20 minutes they rang back with the job booked in for the Monday. Friendly, prompt service on the phone, same again when the fella turned up. Done in 10 minutes. Didn't have to pay him then and there, but instead was issued online invoice and link to super-simple payment procedure. Brilliant. Highly recommended; will definitely use them again - just hope I won't have to!
Customer in Romford
Happy Drains = Happy Homeowner
Fantastic service, drain was unblocked in no time. Mark was fantastic and professional. Thank you, price was great with no hidden cost. I had a builder who advised they may have to lift the tiles to get to the drain, luckily escaped that as I would have had to replace the entire kitchen

Drain unblocked without an issue
Noticed a blocked drain over the weekend. Booked an appointment for Monday and the guy did it professionally. It turned out to be a slightly bigger job as the blockage was in the neighbours drain so the guy helpfully unblocked their drain as well. Would definitely recommend this company and I will be using them in the future too.

Drain clearing
"Cleared the blocked pipe and flushed through cleaned around the drain, helpful and pleasant,would certainly recommend."
Unblock Outside Drain
"The only thing they drained was my bank account for a £75 plus VAT call out charge. However in all fairness they are a business not a charity and it's not their fault at least they turned up and attempted to unblock it on a Saturday as well (I called them same day) very responsive! It's now an Anglian Water problem."
Storm Drain Assessment
"Very efficient and professional service. Quick response and helpful advice. Would recommend Happy Drains :)"

Drains Blocked
"Very Pleased with the service provided by Happy Drains - I've use them before because they are so good, quick and efficient - Oh and very reasonable compared to some Drain Cleaners we wont name them but you'll know who I mean. Happy Drains were out the day after Id emailed to say I had a problem with my outside drains completely backed up - not a pretty sight. They kept me advised when they were arriving and what to expect - the engineers were both very able and very friendly - they had the drains unblocked very quickly and with minimum fuss. Highly Recommend - I wouldn't use anyone else."
CCTV Drain inspection and toilet unblock
"I was really impressed with this company. They have carried out work for me twice now. Once to unblock a toilet and secondly to carry out a CCTV inspection. The customer service is really good, all staff anre very polite and the quality of the work and advice provided is excellent. The engineer that unblocked my toilet provided a lot of advice & tips on how to ensure the toilet doesn't get blocked in the future! The appointments are made promptly and will no hassle. The report from the CCTV inspection was provided promptly. I will be using this company again in the future. "
Drain clearance
"I have used Happy Drains before, and again they provided an excellent service from the original phone call right up to the finished job. We were out when they arrived, and just got back after they finished, but after a mobile phone call they proceeded immediately. Everything was tidy, clean and in place on our return, so if you have a problem of this nature, I can honestly recommend Happy Drains 100%. Finally the cost of £114 was real value for money."

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."
Drain unblocking
"Excellent company to deal with. Polite, friendly and reasonably priced. A credit to the drain industry! Will certainly be recommending them and will be using 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.

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."
