Customer in Gosport
Great Service! Quick response! Well priced!
I have used Happy Drains Gosport a few times when the drains have been blocked. They are always quick to come out and they do a very good job. They left the area clean and tidy. They even email images of the issue with a full report which I personally find very helpful. They are well priced and I have no complaints at all. I would recommend them highly for anyone with a blocked drain.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. The engineer turned up when expected and my drain was cleared within an hour and the fees are very competitive.

Drain unblock
Great service from start to finish. Ordering the service was easy with the online form. The contact phone call early in the morning to confirm that Happy Drains rep would be with us between 0800-1200 was very comforting. The engineer himself was extremely professional and cleared the blockage very quickly. He then cleaned the whole system and ensured we had no other issues before he left. The cost of all this was very reasonable considering other comparable companies. Please pass on my thanks to all concerned. ?'??'??'?
Customer in Petersfield
Reliable service
I called Happy Drains to sort out a problem for my parents, who find it difficult to source and arrange services themselves. My communication with Happy Drains was efficient and understanding. I received information and return calls as promised, and the appointment took place as scheduled. Drainage for upstairs bathroom cleared, with photos supplied with the invoice and explanation of work completed. Very reasonable price. I recommend this company.
Customer in Alton
Kitchen Sink Drain Blockage
Telephoned Happy Drains early morning. Was told a technician would come to me late afternoon. He arrived at 4pm after telephoning to advise his arrival time. He asked where the blockage was and then got on with clearing it. No time wasted. Once the U bend had been taken apart the blockage was sucked out. Then the U bend was reassembled to show me the blockage had been cleared. All done very efficiently and effectively with very little mess being caused. I was very pleased and impressed.

Cleared blocked drain.
Arrived when expected. I had previously cleared foliage and arranged access to the area so it was simply a matter of using the more powerful pressure jet to clear a blockage in a rainwater drainage pipe. The operative checked everything thoroughly including insertion of a drain rod to ensure all clear before tidying things away. All completed quickly and efficiently with minimum fuss. I would certainly call again if any problems elsewhere.

Drain blockage
"I contacted Happy Drains to arrange for my mother's drain to be unblocked. It is stressful being 200 miles from my elderly mother, who struggles to maintain her home. I am very grateful to Happy Drains for such a seamless service, as they sorted out the issue in no time and provided good advice on next steps to avoid a repeat of the problem. "
Main soil pipe blokage was cleared.
"Professional, courteous and reliable. The call was booked with a friendly and professional demeanour. The tradesman who visited was clear in explaining what was required and the work that was carried out after he'd completed it. The blockage was mainly due to a build up of limescale over a very long period of time and was cleared quickly and effectively. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Happy Drains."
Blocked outdoor drains.
"Checked all drains and cleared as discussed. Good communication all the way through and spoke us through it/ took pictures. Turned up on time as booked - good communication. Efficient service, reasonable price too. "
Clearing of bathroom drain.
"Exceptional experience with this company! The booking process was seamless. Communication with the company was very clear on scheduling and having costs upfront meant no lingering worry on the final bill. Work was done quickly and the technicians were very professional. Payment was smooth as well (was able to use Apple Pay). Will definitely get my business again if needed and will recommend them to anyone else in the same situation."
