Blocked sink drainage pipe

"Having had a different company the day before to try and clear the blockage to my sink and were unable to resolve the problem, I then called Happy drains. Aaron the drain engineer was brilliant. He had cameras and jets which where needed for this job as it was a little more complicated than the usual blocked sink. Although a difficult job Aaron was great. He was determined not to be beaten and to find a way to get the job done. I will definitely use Happy Drains again especially if all the engineers are as tenacious as Aaron."
