Unblocked our drain
" Arrived when they said they would. Did a great job and there were no nasty added charges,"
Outside drain clearing
"Calm her within an hour of my call. Polite and efficient from start to finish. Really happy. Thank you."
Unblock drain re kitchen sink
"Happy Drains sent Alex who was superbly focused and dedicated. He rapidly identified the blocked kitchen sink that had not been resolved by a plumber was a drainage issue (as suspected), found the drains, identified the correct one linked to the kitchen, sent a camera down to find the blockage, and rinsed it away with high pressure water jet. Took an hour, with a lot accomplished. No additional or unexpected charges. Very happy with their service and professionalism (given dealing with these sorts of issues can be a minefield of distrust)."
Drainage blockage resolved swiftly
"Great service, courteous professional, reasonably priced, drains unblocked efficiently, no fuss, everyone happy."

sewer pipe blockage
"Tommy & Gordon Happy Drains' amazing guys, saved me from another drainage company I called who overcharged for their incomplete services and wanted several £1000's! for further work! Found & phoned Happy Drains for second opinion. Will @ Happy Drains was so helpful and got Tommy & Gordon on the case. They arrived promptly and using their camera technology found the issue, and cleared the drains. No additional work required! Received very clear report of work with photos. Very reasonable price. Honest, trustworthy, tidy and HAPPY, cannot praise them enough!!!!!!!!!! "
Clearing blocked drains
"I called the company after a recommendation and a man arrived later the same day. He was friendly and professional, quickly set up the equipment and worked his magic with the two blocked drains. He offered advice on keeping the drains clear in future and made sure the area was clean and tidy before he left. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm."

Colchester and Essex drain services from a firm receiving great feedback...

Blocked outside drain
"I phoned Happy Drains where the office manager arranged for a service call within a couple of hours. The two men arrived in no time, and took measures to clear the significant blockage, with diligence and humour. Efficient office management, alongside the job, with appropriate contact by email and messages, through to Invoice. Very pleased with the whole service. "
Blocked Soil Pipe
"This is a great Company. I called them at 10.30am to request a visit to sort out a blocked toilet system at my daughters place and the Engineer arrived at 3.00pm (within the time slot initially given). Within minutes he (Luke) had identified the issue and not long after, the blockage was cleared and a working toilet was restored. I would recommend these guys to anyone seeking a prompt service, provided by people who know exactly what they're doing."
