Kitchen external drain blocked, and now it's now.

Unblocked a gullley drain
"The man was extremely calm and cheerful and went out of his way, even in pouring rain to clear my drain. I had limited access as the neighbour had built an extension over the manhole, but it didn't phase him and he completed the job."
Clogged kitchen sink pipe
"I was really glad with the service that they provided. They just sent someone the same day that I called ,and they were able to unclog the pipe within the same day. I was really happy, I wished that I would've called them sooner as I was trying for over a week to clear it myself without getting any results... and I also was really happy with the customer service and their payment method, It was really easy to pay with the link that they sent me and they charged me the amount that It was agreed by phone, without any extra fees... I definitely recommend it to everybody "
Drain blockage cleared
"We had a rapid response to our online enquiry and an appointment was booked in for a few hours later. We had a phone call informing us that they would arrive within 14 minutes and they did! The outside drain was unblocked and cleaned through very thoroughly. We were very impressed by the prompt and efficient service especially the day before Christmas Eve. "

Blocked bathroom drains
"Happy Drains were friendly on the phone and were able to attend the problem on the same day. The engineer attending the problem kept me informed on his arrival time and was polite and finished the job quickly. Would definitely use Happy Drains again."
Clearing out storm drains on sunken patio
"Very pleased. Harry arrived and assessed problem. Very honest and told me he could only guarantee a 50% sucess rate. On completion he seemed as happy as I was that the issue was resolved. Lovely personable guy. Thanks"
Drain unblocked without an issue
"Noticed a blocked drain over the weekend. Booked an appointment for Monday and the guy did it professionally. It turned out to be a slightly bigger job as the blockage was in the neighbours drain so the guy helpfully unblocked their drain as well. Would definitely recommend this company and I will be using them in the future too. "
Drain survey
"Just been visited by an engineer today. Arrived on time , knowledgeable, answered all my questions. Looking forward to receiving the survey documents."

So quick!
"Within an hour of phoning on 30 December my drain was sorted!"
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!"
Unblocking sewer drain pipe
"Happy Drains were quick to answer and respond with Damian arriving promptly the next day, he knew how to unblock the sewer pipe and fixed the problem without any fuss or complication. I would definitely used Happy Drains and Damian again. Thanks."

Great experience
"Wayne was a lovely chap and very helpful. Cleared the drains swiftly and was excellent to deal with"
Unblock outside drain.
"I contacted Happy Drains early one morning and an appointment was made promptly for the afternoon of the same day. The drains technician contacted me to let me know he was on his way. He arrived on time, unblocked the drain, hosed down the area when he was finished and only left when I confirmed the work was completed satisfactorily."
Kitchen drain Blocked
"I had a big block on my kitchen drain. My kitchen is the result of a garage conversion with long drains and hard access. Happy drains came after a few hours from my call and fixed the problem. They had to open an access on the laundry and charged a reasonable amount to do that. Very happy and would call them again!"
