Unblocking of kitchen sink
Paul was extremely professional and very tidy clearing up afterwards
Customer in Chelmsford
Outside runoff drain to mains was backed up and overflowing.
Called them on a Saturday when the drain was especially playing up and within 20 minutes they rang back with the job booked in for the Monday. Friendly, prompt service on the phone, same again when the fella turned up. Done in 10 minutes. Didn't have to pay him then and there, but instead was issued online invoice and link to super-simple payment procedure. Brilliant. Highly recommended; will definitely use them again - just hope I won't have to!
Customer in Chelmsford
Blocked kitchen sink drain
I noticed that the patio was awash with soapy water and realised that the drain leading from the kitchen sink was blocked and overflowing. I phoned Happy Drains and they were so helpful. Arranged for someone to call round between 1 and 3. I arrived home at 12.55 to find them patiently waiting outside. They were very friendly and helpful. Did a thorough job clearing the drain, lifting the manhole cover and making sure the water was flowing freely. I was delighted with their service and would definitely recommend them.

Customer in Basildon
Great communication and fixed price drain clearance
From the first phone call enquiring about drain clearance with Emily to the actual work being carried out was less than 3 hours. I knew immediately upfront what the cost would be and how much extra if a Saturday call out was needed. I was kept informed by phone and email and received a call from the engineers 30 mins prior to arrival. They very quickly identified and cleared the problem clearing up any slight mess they made. Hope not to need this service again but if I do would Happily use Happy drains again.

Customer in Braintree
En suite toilet block.
Their man arrived in a van fully equipped with water pipes, pumps, powerful pump engine and any other tools that may be required. He was very professional, friendly and determined to find the blockage which turned out to be quite elusive. Nothing was too much trouble and after many tests he finally found and corrected the blockage.

A few words from our Happy Customers...

Unblocking of drain/sewage pipe
"The drain engineer arrived punctually. He made the area safe for passers by, as the drain hole cover was in the pavement outside in the street. He cleared the immediate blockage with a rod but then used the power water jet to flush out the whole pipe and clear away the accumulated grease and fat causing the blockage. At one point he practically disappeared inside the drain to remove a ball of fat with his hand! He was extremely thorough and efficient and left the drain sparkling clean! He was polite and friendly throughout. An overall top notch service!"
Unblock toilet
"Unplugging the toilet went really quickly, such a nice informative man."
Great experience
"Wayne was a lovely chap and very helpful. Cleared the drains swiftly and was excellent to deal with"
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"
Cleared outside kitchen and toilet
"From the phone call to the colleague coming out was so professional and made me feel they truly cared. The chap who came out was very pleasant and professional rom the beginning.such a nice chap. I would certainly have this company again and recommend them to others. Trust is so important. ?'? "

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 "
Blocked kitchen drain cleared
"A difficult, awkward blockage below ground level was cleared efficiently."
Unblock an outside pipe
"Unfortunately the pipe was blocked with concrete which appears to have happened when the garden fence was erected. However, the tradesman wrote the reason it was blocked on the invoice which helped when I contacted the tradesmen who erected the fence."
