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

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.

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.

Enviable drain survey reviews...

Clearance of blocked soak away
"Several people looked at the issue, suggesting that significant works may be needed to resolve. Spoke to Happy Drains, explained things well over the phone, suggested it may be a simple job to unblock it. Arrived quickly, did the job and all seems well. Very pleased "
Unpleasant smell from drains.
"Persistent unpleasant smell from drains into kitchen sink. Eliminated problems with internal plumbing so called HD. First appt engineer rang to say earlier job had been more complex than reported and would be late for our job. Offer of new appt 2 days later accepted. Engineer (Quinn) rang with ETA, arrived in middle of time slot. He was polite, professional, he quickly located and removed the problem and flushed the whole drainage system."
Drain unblock
"Great service from start to finish. Ordering the service was easy with the online form. The contact phone call early in the morning to confirm that Happy Drains rep would be with us between 0800-1200 was very comforting. The engineer himself was extremely professional and cleared the blockage very quickly. He then cleaned the whole system and ensured we had no other issues before he left. The cost of all this was very reasonable considering other comparable companies. Please pass on my thanks to all concerned. ?'??'??'?"
Unblocking drain
"Having used Happy Drains previously, I contacted them about a blocked drain on my property. They responded immediately, sent engineers who were prompt, professional and friendly and had the job done in 25 minutes. Just to top it off, the price was the same as my last call-out with them two years ago. Excellent service all round."

Bath Sink/Pipe Issue
"Rang up pm was told what it would cost so no surprises, arranged visit for next day am, operative rang to tell me his arrival time. He arrived on time did a quick survey of the problem and got on and solved the issue. At the end showed me pictures of the limescale which had blocked the pipe. Left with sink/drain running well. What more can you ask!!"
Toilet unblocking
"We had Arran come round to unblock our toilet after I tried all the usual DIY attempts. He explained everything fully, told us the options and tried everything possible without going in to the more costly fixes. He completed the job within the an hour and the cost was exactly what was quoted on the phone. He explained how to prevent it happening again and had a great chat about other DIY things around the house. Definitely would recommend. "
Kitchen drain Blocked
"I had a big block on my kitchen drain. My kitchen is the result of a garage conversion with long drains and hard access. Happy drains came after a few hours from my call and fixed the problem. They had to open an access on the laundry and charged a reasonable amount to do that. Very happy and would call them again!"
