The main drain from bathroom blocked. Backed up to kitchen drain.
"This was my 87 yr old mother's house. We lifted the manhole cover thinking maybe we could unblock it, but it was full. So any water drainage was just overflowing. Euch!! A neighbour recommended Happy Drains. Phoned them about 9.30 Saturday morning. They were with her by 6. They kept in contact all day to let us know the expected arrival time. Super friendly, excellent communication, good price. Great service, especially for my elderly mum. Thankyou"
Kitchen sink not running away
"Rapid response, friendly and reliable workmen, came and did exactly what they said. Follow up afterwards was excellent!"
Clearance of outdoor drain
"Easy to book, great communication, skilled and tidy work, and easy to pay invoice by Apple Pay. Good value and clear pricing too. Top notch!"
Blocked sewerage drains
"Happy Drains receptionist quickly arrange a visit the following morning to unblock our drains. We received a call 45 mins before arrival and the drains which had been blocked for 48 hours were unblocked within a few minutes, which was excellent as man hole covers in a neighbours garden were opened and showed that the drains were being exclusively used by our house. Excellent job by Happy Drains. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Quick polite and courteous."

Excellent service. Couldn't be faulted.
"Alex phoned in advance. Arrived on time, explained what he'd be doing and then delivered. The partial blockage in the kitchen sink was professionally removed he tested the flow and cleared up after the work was completed. 100% recommend Happy Drains. A very good value price, too. "
