No fuss. On time. Job done.
"Very easy to organise the appointment to unblock a drain that we had tried and failed to clear ourselves. They were reasonably priced, stuck to their quote, the engineer was very personable, paid for their own parking and explained the issue! That's all I ask from a service company. Thank you Happy Drains."

Jetting blocked drain and clean up of surrounding area
"They were professional on the phone and throughout the process. The Engineer was polite, timely, explained what he'd do and said he'd clean up the area afterwards. Job was done perfectly and their price was considerably better than others and as such represented excellent value! Hope I won't need them again (?...) but should I do, they would be my automatic choice. Heartily and unreservedly recommend them based on our experience "

The guys were polite, tidy, on time, and knowledgeable. Will defiantly use happy drains again "
