Bath Sink/Pipe Issue
Rang up pm was told what it would cost so no surprises, arranged visit for next day am, operative rang to tell me his arrival time. He arrived on time did a quick survey of the problem and got on and solved the issue. At the end showed me pictures of the limescale which had blocked the pipe. Left with sink/drain running well. What more can you ask!!

Customer in Orpington
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!
Customer in Epsom
Back garden drain unblocked
The challenge was to unblock my drain in the back garden with no rear access. All equipment needed to be brought through the house. It was too much of a risk to use a pressure washer for a single crew. However the engineer fully cleared the drain using his available tools/ equipment.

Clearance of sewer manhole interceptor and drain run of sewerage, toilet wipes and shrub roots
I was contacted by a very happy and enthusiastic operator and an appointment was made quickly and he turned up on time. The enthusiastic and knowledgeable operative explained and showed me what the issues were and began to clear the manhole and sewer run, then completely cleaned the area surrounding the manhole, tidied up and showed us the root ball he had also found which along with the flushable toilet wipes had caused the blockage. I highly recommended Happy Drains, they are fast, friendly, happy and enthusiastic company, can't commend the operative representing the company so well.

External drain clearance
"Very happy with the service I received. It wasn't a straightforward job but the guys didn't give up and eventually managed to clear the drain. They were exceptionally polite and professional despite the freezing temperature and rain. I would highly recommend this company "
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)."
Efficient and professional work
"We are very pleased with Happy Drain's work. They arrived on time. Identified problem and got to work straight away. The drain was unblocked within half an hour. Thank you. "

Home Buyers Caterham Drainage Surveys & investigations, what’s the point?
It would seem eminently sensible that you understand what you are legally responsible for and are the drains in a perfectly serviceable condition at the very least understand you may be inheriting an expensive problem.
Most sellers in Caterham and around Surrey don’t actually know they have a problem, vendors sometimes think it's normal that blockages happen every month or so, or smelly is the new normal even that the Caterham drains run slow cause they do’, well actually no, those symptoms point to a failure of one kind or another. Your Caterham surveyor may have even found a crack, drain defects never get better and common sense would suggest more expensive to fix. We even note any illegal connections, that’s the point!
