Drains and stack pipe unblocking

"Really good experience. Very polite and professional. Slightly odd reason for a blocked drain (surprisingly tiling cement was blocking the base of the stack pipe), but the Happy Drains colleague came and cleared the blockage for me. They did a great job. Easy to deal with and made the process really smooth. Good pricing too. I'd happily recommend them and use them again"

The main drain from bathroom blocked. Backed up to kitchen drain.

"This was my 87 yr old mother's house. We lifted the manhole cover thinking maybe we could unblock it, but it was full. So any water drainage was just overflowing. Euch!! A neighbour recommended Happy Drains. Phoned them about 9.30 Saturday morning. They were with her by 6. They kept in contact all day to let us know the expected arrival time. Super friendly, excellent communication, good price. Great service, especially for my elderly mum. Thankyou"

kitchen drain completely blocked

"Their service was exceptional. Very professional, and they solved the most important problem! Considering that two plumbers and Thames Water visited us but only tried to rush and squeeze extra money, resolving the problem partially."

Clearing of a blocked drain line just past the interceptor

"I have used Happy Drains before, and again they provided a fast and excellent service from the original phone call right up to the finished job. Work carried out quickly with care, consideration, and cleanliness. Everything was left tidy, clean and in place. I would highly recommend Happy Drains. Finally, the cost of £114 (inc.VAT) and was value for money. I can't help but thank this company for its continued high level of service"
