Blocked drains

"We recently noticed our downstairs WC was not flushing properly, and our outside man hole, was flooding and smelt terribly. I got in contact with happy drains and they hooked someone in within the next 2 days as I requested. The guy came to site, and told me exactly what he was doing and what he thought the issue may be. He fixed it in great time and was very informative. I hope I don't need to call happy drains again, but if we ever need someone to help us in the future, we will look no further. 10/10"

Unblocked a kitchen sink waste pipe

"The company was quick to respond to my initial call. The job was completed the following afternoon taking less than 15 minutes to complete. The technician was very polite and helpful. There was no call out fee or a dodgy plumber shaking his head for five minutes, making you think you've got a massive crisis on your hands. I will use this firm again in the future without doubt. "

So quick!

"Within an hour of phoning on 30 December my drain was sorted!"

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"
