Unblocking a foul waste pipe outside the house
"He kept us informed by phone when he was going to arrive. He was extremely cheerful, very practical and had everything done within no time. If I ever need this sort of service again, I would definitely use Happy Drains again. Professional, completely honest and swift."
Blocked drain
"Martin arrived on time, having let me know he was on the way. He quickly got to work and within minutes it was all sorted. He also kindly cleaned up the mess on my patio (the drains had overflowed during heavy rain, leaving it covered in sewage.) As I don't have access to the communal drain (he had to do it from my neighbour's), he even got out a metal detector to locate where my access shaft is (under the patio). Overall, Martin was thoroughly helpful and professional. I must also say of Happy Drains that they answer the phone quickly, and the lady I spoke to was helpful and courteous."
Blocked outside drain
"Two engineers arrived less than an hour after my phone call. They were very helpful and informative and completed the job extremely efficiently. Pricing fair. Would definitely use again. "

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."
Blocked drain and toilet
"Excellent service ! Rang on a Sunday and plumber then called me back that day to discuss and arrange appointment for next day . They accessed using side gate as I had to be at work. Sent text when done and invoice included photos and all work carried out . Very pleased. I even noticed the path had been swept down a bit. Invoice was prompt and easy to pay . Would recommend and use again if needed. Price was v fair I felt . I rang another company who had triple charge and needed to access my house which would have proved tricky if I am honest . Great service. Great company."
