Blocked drains to whole house
"Called the mobile telephone number for Happy drains which was answered immediately, they called back with a slot 5 minutes later and 1 hour later the engineer turned up and did a fantastic job, The drains to our complete house were unblocked. Engineer was polite, professional and knowledgeable, we are delighted with the service that we received. Would highly recommend the company"
Sorted out our blocked kitchen sink super quick
"Happy Drains came round and quickly identified that the issue was outside the house. I had literally popped upstairs to let my wife know he'd arrived, before I got a text saying the job was done. Everything works perfectly and it was lightning quick, and the quote was also very reasonable. Highly recommend these guys."
Unblock an outside pipe
"Unfortunately the pipe was blocked with concrete which appears to have happened when the garden fence was erected. However, the tradesman wrote the reason it was blocked on the invoice which helped when I contacted the tradesmen who erected the fence."
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."
