Good customer service, was able to arrange a convenient time for the visit and Luke was very polite and courteous.

Unblocked our drain
"Happy Drains were very professional in attending carrying out the works and very pleased with the results would highly recommend them. "

Unblock drain re kitchen sink
"Happy Drains sent Alex who was superbly focused and dedicated. He rapidly identified the blocked kitchen sink that had not been resolved by a plumber was a drainage issue (as suspected), found the drains, identified the correct one linked to the kitchen, sent a camera down to find the blockage, and rinsed it away with high pressure water jet. Took an hour, with a lot accomplished. No additional or unexpected charges. Very happy with their service and professionalism (given dealing with these sorts of issues can be a minefield of distrust)."
Blocked kitchen drain
"The amazing reviews of Happy Drains seem well warranted. Our experience was beyond excellent. Fantastic customer service, friendly, efficient and effective service. Had someone with us in less than an hour. Fixed issue, and cleaned up, then even checked an upstairs sink for us too. Ours was a small job yet I felt like a valued customer from the first call. I cant really recommend highly enough."
