Unblocking drain
"From when you call them, you are dealing with a real person and with that comes efficiency. Very polite on the telephone and also the drain engineers on site were very polite and just got on with the job. They showed you the unblocked drain before leaving the site and explained what I would receive in the report via email. Thoroughly recommend them and very good value. For the amount of crap they have to unblock each day, the service is spotless."
Drain unblocking
"Having used Happy Drains services a few years ago at a previous property, I called them again to sort out a blocked drain at my new home. The plumber came out the next day and resolved the issue quickly. He explained everything throughout the process and was very thorough. Their service is very reliable and reasonably priced and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. "
Clearing sink blockages
"Very happy with the work. No fuss, simple fixed quote, prompt and good communication. Could not have really asked for more."
UNBLOCK OUTSIDE DRAINS
"This company has provided excellent first class service. DYNO ROD previously accepted our request to clear but on New Year's Eve morning declined as they were too busy and couldn't reach us until after New Year. Found HAPPY DRAINS on line, phoned and the contact was excellent, arranged a visit within an hour. Engineer arrived well within this time span was brilliant, cleared the problem quickly and efficiently. Based upon this work we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAPPY DRAINS and have logged their number in our Contacts folder for any future problems, THANK YOU."

"Simon figured out the problem quickly and made sure there was no damage to the property. He also gave advice how to stop it happening again. Would highly recommend the service "

Blocked external drain
"I had a blocked drain (external to the property). I previously had someone to look at and they explained that the drain had likely collapsed and quoted to fix (over £1k). I thought I would double check. Happy Drains visited and drain was clear within minutes (blocked trap) with no requirement to dig up garden and replace drains (or use a camera). 60 day guarantee inc in case it blocks again. Engineer was polite, friendly, cleanly dressed and professional. As he said 25 years of experience. Great job, highly recommend (and I will be recommending further)."
