Clear a blocked toilet, sink and clean a smelly drain
"Delighted with the work done today. Happy Drains were very efficient in responding to my weekend request, setting me up with a non-emergency appointment within a few days of my request. Their tradesman was professional and explained to me how the issues would be resolved. After resolution, we had a chat about preventative measures for the future. He also took his shoes off of his own accord to protect the carpet. Will definitely use this company again next time."

Unblock outside drain from kitchen sink/dishwasher
"To say impressed with Happy Drains is a massive understatement. I called Thursday lunchtime and was told they'd call me back with a time/date for them to come fix problem. It was only a matter of hours and they'd arrived and unblocked my outside drain. Shaun arrived and had the situation checked and was working to clear the drain within 15 minutes. I was so impressed with how quickly he worked and how he cleaned down the dirty patio afterwards. He had drain cleared and the job completely finished in half an hour. He then gave me tips on how to keep the drains clean. Absolutely BRILLIANT"
