Customer in Norwich
Very happy to have the drains flowing freely again
The initial telephonic contact was friendly and helpful, and the appointment made for the next available working day. When the employee arrived, he was very professional, and managed to find the issue quickly. The blockage wasn't easy to remove (stones and mud from a collapsed pipe) and needed some extra persuasion, but eventually the water was running clear through the pipes - much to our delight. This pipe and drain had been giving us issues since we moved into the house last May. I would gladly recommend this company to others

Customer in Sawbridgeworth
Fixed the problem with efficiency and professionalism.
I happy to recommend this company. They were easy to contact and the engineer came when they said. They charged a fixed price which included what needed to be done to fix the problem which took away any uncertainty about the cost. The engineer fixed the problem efficiently at the visit and gave a report of what was found and done. Five stars!

Noticed we had waste water coming up through a manhole, called Happydrains who arranged for someone to attend within 48hrs which was fantastic. Engineer called when he was on his way, he was very professional and talked me through what he was going to do. Took him around 30 minutes he had taken photos of each stage and explained what he had found and done. Very happy with the work carried out and 3 weeks later still no issues would use them again

Blocked washing machine drain
Blocked pipe leading from washing machine meant it emptied water all over the floor. I rang for appointment at 9.30 and by 2.30 the guys had been and fixed it. They had to take the main drains cover off and drill "upwards". I never knew you could get fatballs from using fabric conditioner! Utterly lovely guys. Great Service. Great price. In fact, to quote Mary Poppins - Practically Perfect in Every Way. Would HIGHLY recommend them.

Customer in Cambridge
Clear waste pipes which were blocked and causing ongoing problems.
We were encountering ongoing blockages with waste water from the kitchen sink. Other tradesmen had not adequately resolved the issue despite numerous attempts.
Customer in Cambridge
Old and recently unused drain was starting to give off bad smell. Apparently the water in the U-bend which normally prevents smells coming from the sewage pipes had evaporated. Drain was flushed through and U-bend topped up.
Work was carried out in a timely manner. Engineer was polite, informative and efficient.

The gentleman that came was very friendly, he called me to say he was going to be a little late as he got held up, brownie points. The work was carried out nice and quick, getting all the information I needed, the speed and response from the office is second to none and I might add over £200 cheaper than other quotes we received.

Blocked drain
"The men turned up and got on with the job straightaway. They were very polite and very helpful. I was very pleased with their work and the fact the drain was unblocked"
Unblock outside drain.
"I contacted Happy Drains early one morning and an appointment was made promptly for the afternoon of the same day. The drains technician contacted me to let me know he was on his way. He arrived on time, unblocked the drain, hosed down the area when he was finished and only left when I confirmed the work was completed satisfactorily."
Happy drains - highly recommend
"Had a blocked sink pipe. Called a few companies, these guys were responsive on a Sunday, came out the next day, the chap called me when he was an hour away. When he arrived he was incredibly friendly and helpful. Fixed the issue and even got a message afterwards checking everything went well. 10/10 customer service and the price they offered was the most competitive. Would highly recommend."
Blocked kitchen sink drain
"I noticed that the patio was awash with soapy water and realised that the drain leading from the kitchen sink was blocked and overflowing. I phoned Happy Drains and they were so helpful. Arranged for someone to call round between 1 and 3. I arrived home at 12.55 to find them patiently waiting outside. They were very friendly and helpful. Did a thorough job clearing the drain, lifting the manhole cover and making sure the water was flowing freely. I was delighted with their service and would definitely recommend them."

Clearing drain blockage.
"Engineer arrived on time, he was very polite and worked quickly. He explained everything he had done to me and made sure I was perfectly happy before he left my house. I will definitely be recommending Happy Drains to my family and friends and would not hesitate to use them again."
Unblock drain re kitchen sink
"Happy Drains sent Alex who was superbly focused and dedicated. He rapidly identified the blocked kitchen sink that had not been resolved by a plumber was a drainage issue (as suspected), found the drains, identified the correct one linked to the kitchen, sent a camera down to find the blockage, and rinsed it away with high pressure water jet. Took an hour, with a lot accomplished. No additional or unexpected charges. Very happy with their service and professionalism (given dealing with these sorts of issues can be a minefield of distrust)."
Unblocking of drains
"The service was amazing, quick to turn up and the man didn't leave until he had sorted the problem. We would be recommending them to everyone."
