Customer in Orpington
Unblocking of drain/sewage pipe
The drain engineer arrived punctually. He made the area safe for passers by, as the drain hole cover was in the pavement outside in the street. He cleared the immediate blockage with a rod but then used the power water jet to flush out the whole pipe and clear away the accumulated grease and fat causing the blockage. At one point he practically disappeared inside the drain to remove a ball of fat with his hand! He was extremely thorough and efficient and left the drain sparkling clean! He was polite and friendly throughout. An overall top notch service!

Drain issues
We booked in a clean because our drain in the back garden smelled like rotting eggs. The technician took off the manhole cover and could see it was completely blocked. He had all the tools on hand to unblock the drain and it looks sparkling now. He was very knowledgable and we learned a lot about Victorian drains! Would definitely use again!

Badley blocked main drain...
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Happy Drains. Your service was excellent from the moment we called to the day you sent fabulous James who fixed our VERY badly blocked drain. From the moment he arrived he was great assuring us he would fix it and for us not to worry. It wasn't a nice job. We would 100% call Happy Drains again should we ever have any future problems. He was such a lovely young man and was a pleasure to have on our property. He said he would sort the problem and he did, leaving everything beautifully clean too. Great pricing. It was exactly what they said it would be
