Outside drain unblocking

"Fantastic service! The gentleman was polite and professional, he fixed our issue in no time and just before Christmas. Forever grateful and they will be the first I call if I have a similar issue in the future. Thank you!"

Heavily blocked waste pipes.

"Fantastic service and employees. Arranging the appointment was exceptionally easy as the people on the phones were friendly and efficient. Jason from Happy Drains arrived on time and even called ahead to let us know exactly when he'd be arriving. Jason was polite and friendly from beginning to end. He sorted out the problem far quicker than expected considering the dire state of the blockage. After he'd done a wonderful job he then explained exactly how it had happened in detail, what needed to be fixed and told me some preventative measures to help avoid the problem from recurring until then."

Blocked kitchen drain

"The amazing reviews of Happy Drains seem well warranted. Our experience was beyond excellent. Fantastic customer service, friendly, efficient and effective service. Had someone with us in less than an hour. Fixed issue, and cleaned up, then even checked an upstairs sink for us too. Ours was a small job yet I felt like a valued customer from the first call. I cant really recommend highly enough."

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."

Outside runoff drain to mains was backed up and overflowing.

"Called them on a Saturday when the drain was especially playing up and within 20 minutes they rang back with the job booked in for the Monday. Friendly, prompt service on the phone, same again when the fella turned up. Done in 10 minutes. Didn't have to pay him then and there, but instead was issued online invoice and link to super-simple payment procedure. Brilliant. Highly recommended; will definitely use them again - just hope I won't have to! "

1st time customer - Excellent experience

"1st time using Checkatrade. Polite and efficient experience from beginning to end, with clear/ transparent pricing + quick availability of plumber. I chose to use Happy Drains... who were available same day to unblock kitchen sink. Damian from Happy Drains was friendly and cheerful, but always polite and professional and persistent with unblocking drain. Damian had a powerful acqua vac that was required to unblock the drain. Not an easy job, but Damian persisted and determined to get job done. No surprises with charges...exactly as quoted and very reasonable. Recommended."
