Blocked drains
"We recently noticed our downstairs WC was not flushing properly, and our outside man hole, was flooding and smelt terribly. I got in contact with happy drains and they hooked someone in within the next 2 days as I requested. The guy came to site, and told me exactly what he was doing and what he thought the issue may be. He fixed it in great time and was very informative. I hope I don't need to call happy drains again, but if we ever need someone to help us in the future, we will look no further. 10/10"
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."
Blocked drains to whole house
"Called the mobile telephone number for Happy drains which was answered immediately, they called back with a slot 5 minutes later and 1 hour later the engineer turned up and did a fantastic job, The drains to our complete house were unblocked. Engineer was polite, professional and knowledgeable, we are delighted with the service that we received. Would highly recommend the company"
Drainage Block
"The service from booking appointment to the completion of work was excellent. The engineer Wayne was very friendly and knowledgeable with the work. Excellent service and will recommend to anyone."

Drain camera inspection
"All staff were professional, friendly and helpful. The drain survey was conducted promptly, and the report received in good time. The report was thorough and helpful."
5* Service was Over and Above expectation.
"This is the second time I have used Happy Drains the Service provided last time was superb. This time it was even better! With no appointments available to clear my elderly mothers blocked toilet, Happy Drains rearranged a schedule to conduct the work to limit inconvenience. Joe attended and was absolutely first class keeping me updated directly at the request of my confused elderly mother. It is so reassuring to be kept informed of the detail when you are 80 miles away so I could explain it in simple terms to my mother, I recommend Happy Drains 100% and commend Joe for the 5* Service."
