Severe drain blockage cleared fast
"We used the Basingstoke branch, and I couldn't be happier. We had a severe blockage in our main waste pipe due to previous owners dumping grease for years. I called in the morning, they came just after lunch. The engineer was friendly and knowledgeable and explained every step thoroughly, cheerfully answering my questions (I'm curious about everything) and did the job quickly and with a great sense of humour, letting me fill the fatburgs that flowed out. Price was brilliant too. Couldn't recommend enough. "
Bathroom drain unblocked
"The gent from Happy drains arrived promptly, explained what he planned to do, and resolved the issue quicker than expected. It was a smooth and friendly process and I'm very happy with the outcome. "
Blocked toilet - resolved promptly and effectively
"Great service from Luke who managed to get our upstairs toilet unblocked in less than half an hour. Good customer service, was able to arrange a convenient time for the visit and Luke was very polite and courteous. The price was much cheaper than elsewhere, I will definitely use Happy Drains again for any future drain blockages!"
Drain clearance
"Excellent service. He phoned to let me know he was coming, and then cleared the drain very quickly and professionally. He cleared everything up after he had finished. Would highly recommend "

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 "
Blocked outside drain
"Super impressed. Tommy and Gordon showed up within hours of my distressed phone call as our outside drain was completely blocked. They fixed it within minutes and shared their expertise for preventing blockage in the future. Friendly, courteous, incredibly knowledgeable and professional. My only go to from now on."

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."
