Drain clearance
"The service engineer came out on call-out in good time, assessed the problem with my drain and gave a very good, professional service. He was friendly and very informative, cleared the blockage and took pains to leave everything clean and tidy before leaving."
Overflowing Sewage
"We emailed at 6:30am and Happy Drains were on site at 10am and the problem was fixed in just under an hour."
Blocked drain
"Martin arrived on time, having let me know he was on the way. He quickly got to work and within minutes it was all sorted. He also kindly cleaned up the mess on my patio (the drains had overflowed during heavy rain, leaving it covered in sewage.) As I don't have access to the communal drain (he had to do it from my neighbour's), he even got out a metal detector to locate where my access shaft is (under the patio). Overall, Martin was thoroughly helpful and professional. I must also say of Happy Drains that they answer the phone quickly, and the lady I spoke to was helpful and courteous."
