Drains and stack pipe unblocking
"Really good experience. Very polite and professional. Slightly odd reason for a blocked drain (surprisingly tiling cement was blocking the base of the stack pipe), but the Happy Drains colleague came and cleared the blockage for me. They did a great job. Easy to deal with and made the process really smooth. Good pricing too. I'd happily recommend them and use them again"
Unblock kitchen sink
"Fantastic. Called ahead as promised, polite and friendly on arrival. Super clean and tidy, left the area as he found it. All for the quoted price with no hint of any dodgy up-selling. Would happily recommend."
Waist water drain blocked
"The whole experience was 1st class. They did everything they said they. Jason was very friendly and polite. "

"A difficult, awkward blockage below ground level was cleared efficiently."

Toilet/sink blocked
"Polite, knowledgeable , and sorted the problem out in a timely and professional manner, he was a credit to the company with a great work ethic ."
Main drain was completely blocked
"I called them in the morning. The person who answered was extremely nice, knowledgeable and helpful. An appointment was booked for that same afternoon. The engineer called 45mn before arriving and was right on time. He was very nice, polite and did a great job. They all made the costs very clear all along. My problem was solved, there no surprises with the price which was perfectly justified. I will definitely call them again if I have a problem again."

Happy Drains = Happy Homeowner
"Fantastic service, drain was unblocked in no time. Mark was fantastic and professional. Thank you, price was great with no hidden cost. I had a builder who advised they may have to lift the tiles to get to the drain, luckily escaped that as I would have had to replace the entire kitchen "
