"Tommy cleared a drain for me today. I had previously called him out 3 years ago. He was and still is, very polite and courteous whilst always being quick & efficient. Nothing is too much trouble A great job done and always.... With a smile."
Drain clearance
"I have used Happy Drains before, and again they provided an excellent service from the original phone call right up to the finished job. We were out when they arrived, and just got back after they finished, but after a mobile phone call they proceeded immediately. Everything was tidy, clean and in place on our return, so if you have a problem of this nature, I can honestly recommend Happy Drains 100%. Finally the cost of £114 was real value for money."
