Blocked kitchen drain.
"Positive. Pipes were cleaned out and everything is well in the world for a reasonable price. I'd use them again if I needed it. "
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."
Unblock an outside drain
"The staff at the office very kind and well spoken.. The work was completed on time. Invoice sent on email with photographs before the job and after the work was completed. Perfect as I am a landlord and can't always attend when the repairs are taking place to see what was done. Thanks to happy drains I'm a happy landlord until the next job?... "
Blocked Drain
"Happy drains were great from start to finish! They had immediate availability to come to my house and sent a super helpful tradesman called Darren who quickly unblocked the drain and showed me how to do it myself in future. Highly recommend!"
