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.

Customer in Brockenhurst
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.

Blocked kitchen sink
I called on a Sunday and was called back by a plumber within a couple hours. He was helpful and could attend the next morning and called to say what time before. All sorted my sink has never worked so well
Customer in Southampton
Toilet drain unblock
Very professional, despite it being very difficult to unblock as it was a very bad blockage from build up on old pipes. The man (unsure of his name) ensured that the drain was fully unblocked even though it took around an hour and a half. Very reasonable price given the difficulty of the job, there is absolutely nothing I could fault him on.
