Clear Kitchen Drain
"Very polite from asking if it was okay to park on the drive to explaining what the problem was, what he planned to do, showing the camera footage & clearing up & explaining guarantee. Invoice came through with amount advised. Would definitely use again. "
Blocked Manhole
"From 1st call enquiry to booking was really quick and a date agreed in the same hour. Received the courtesy call before the team arrived, job done quickly and professionally. Thanks very much to the office and site team."
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."
Incredibly helpful
"Just moved into new home &found drains blocked. Water company said couldn't come out for 3-5 days, - too long if you can't use the loo! Left message for Gary. Even though it was Sunday, he called back really quickly and talked us through what problem might be, reassured us we'd be okay overnight, and if the water company still wasn't able to attend, he'd come out Monday to fix things. Thankfully, water company engineer very helpfully appeared at 6pm and cleared things. Gary called back early Monday to check on us, and was again so helpful. Couldn't ask for someone more helpful!"

Partially blocked soil pipe.
"Glad I called Happy Drains when I got an issue with my downstairs toilet overflowing! Damian attended within 24 hours and got straight to it, no fuss, no "hmmmm... (you know what comes next) deep breath intake, etc..). Damian was a pro and worked his way round the problem until it got done. I'm not squeamish for these kind of jobs but I soon realised that blocked drains require professional equipment and experience! Happy customer"
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!"
Outside drain unblocked
"I called Happy Drains to clear an outside drain at my father's property, which had become blocked. The friendly lady that answered the phone very helpfully managed to get someone to come the next morning. I received a call prior to the workmen arriving, which was reassuring. They were friendly and very efficient; 25 minutes after they arrived the problem was resolved; brilliant! I would highly recommend this company."
