Second time back, and for good reason
Second time using Happy Drains. Booked them for a CCTV drain survey following an unsatisfactory experience with another provider; they had originally been engaged when we bought the house and came recommended again through a trade contact. The engineer arrived punctually, was courteous throughout, and walked us through the findings on site. Pricing was fair, an the final invoice matched the quote. The written report and accompanying video footage contained enough detail to understand the condition of the drain runs and scope the remedial work. Will be using them again for the corrective works.

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!!

Excellent Service - Tommy Was Thorough and Professional!
I had a great experience with Happy Drains. Tommy did a fantastic job addressing my drainage issue.

Highly recommend their services if you want the job done right!

Excellent service. Attended really quickly and fixed things really fast. Engineer was polite and friendly and very good at what he does - it took him longer to say hello and come upstairs to the bathroom than it did for him to clear the blockage!

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.

Customer in Coulsdon
Cleared my blocked kitchen drain.
A blocked kitchen drain that spews water over the patio is not a fun thing. I phoned Happy Drains Ltd, who told me they would phone back in half an hour, when they had got someone to do the job for me. I had thought they might tell me nobody could come for several days, but no, they phoned me back after speaking to one of their employees, told me he'd be with me within two hours, and he was. He was the nicest, most cheerful man, who did the job in an hour or so, and what a relief it was to have the sink draining properly once again. Many thanks to Happy Drains Ltd.
Customer in Coulsdon

"Happy Drains responded promptly to my request to unblock a drain. They have done the same for two neighbours now and have been recommended on our local WhatsApp. Came out same day, kept me updated on when they were coming. Good communication and were up front about cost. Cleared the drain, no issues. Payment was quick and easy via an invoice on completion with link in email - I paid via Apple Pay. "

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!

Water rising in shower
"Happy Drains were recommended by one of my letting agents. Called them, staff courteous and very helpful. Call arranged for the following day, email received confirming this along with confirmation of anticipated cost. My tenant confirmed that they arrived at the appointed time, undertook the job in a timely manner and left the area clean and tidy. All in all a pleasure to deal with, would definitely use them again and have no hesitation in recommending them. "
Drain unblocking
"Excellent company to deal with. Polite, friendly and reasonably priced. A credit to the drain industry! Will certainly be recommending them and will be using them again. Special mention and thanks to Josh the expert drain man. Finally, paying them online (following receipt of invoice) was so easy, if you use the weblink they send you. Why can't all trades companies be like this?!"
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."

Clearing of bathroom drain.
"Exceptional experience with this company! The booking process was seamless. Communication with the company was very clear on scheduling and having costs upfront meant no lingering worry on the final bill. Work was done quickly and the technicians were very professional. Payment was smooth as well (was able to use Apple Pay). Will definitely get my business again if needed and will recommend them to anyone else in the same situation."
Unblock drain re kitchen sink
"Happy Drains sent Alex who was superbly focused and dedicated. He rapidly identified the blocked kitchen sink that had not been resolved by a plumber was a drainage issue (as suspected), found the drains, identified the correct one linked to the kitchen, sent a camera down to find the blockage, and rinsed it away with high pressure water jet. Took an hour, with a lot accomplished. No additional or unexpected charges. Very happy with their service and professionalism (given dealing with these sorts of issues can be a minefield of distrust)."
Trustworthy drain cleaning/unblocking
"I emailed Happy Drains in the morning and was emailed back with a very competitive fixed price quote. On accepting the quote I was called and told they could be with me that afternoon. I then had a call when they were 30 minutes away. Extremely efficient service that went beyond what was expected. Everything was left clean and was finished within an hour . A happy company with great people. Deal with confidence."
