Blocked external drain
"I had a blocked drain (external to the property). I previously had someone to look at and they explained that the drain had likely collapsed and quoted to fix (over £1k). I thought I would double check. Happy Drains visited and drain was clear within minutes (blocked trap) with no requirement to dig up garden and replace drains (or use a camera). 60 day guarantee inc in case it blocks again. Engineer was polite, friendly, cleanly dressed and professional. As he said 25 years of experience. Great job, highly recommend (and I will be recommending further)."

Drain unblocked
"I was very happy with the service provided. They didn't ask for upfront payment. The issue was quickly handled by the engineer. And it was cheaper than my other options."
Quick & effective drain unblock
"I called Happy Drains to help unblock an external drain at our home. Initial customer service on the phone was quick, polite and even though I called early afternoon, they managed to find someone to visit that same day. The drain was unblocked successfully and the engineer was polite and provided useful advice for future avoidance of issues. I'd recommend."
5* Service was Over and Above expectation.
"This is the second time I have used Happy Drains the Service provided last time was superb. This time it was even better! With no appointments available to clear my elderly mothers blocked toilet, Happy Drains rearranged a schedule to conduct the work to limit inconvenience. Joe attended and was absolutely first class keeping me updated directly at the request of my confused elderly mother. It is so reassuring to be kept informed of the detail when you are 80 miles away so I could explain it in simple terms to my mother, I recommend Happy Drains 100% and commend Joe for the 5* Service."
