Good communication and job done same day
"Came the same day when called and cleared the drains. We appreciated the easy communication with the office and the organisation of the visit. "
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."
Blocked bath drain
"My bath wasn't draining so I sent an enquiry to happy drains. The contacted me within an hour and booked to come and take a look the same day. They arrived during the given time slot, identified the problem and fixed it all within half an hour. Very happy with the service and would use them again. "
Downstairs loo and sink unblocking, by jetting upstream from manhole in the garden.
"Brilliant. From the first phone call to saying goodbye. Job explained, job completed and everything works perfectly. The young guy called Tommy from Sunbury was top drawer. Going to do this jetting annually now."
