Blocked Soil Pipe
"This is a great Company. I called them at 10.30am to request a visit to sort out a blocked toilet system at my daughters place and the Engineer arrived at 3.00pm (within the time slot initially given). Within minutes he (Luke) had identified the issue and not long after, the blockage was cleared and a working toilet was restored. I would recommend these guys to anyone seeking a prompt service, provided by people who know exactly what they're doing."
Severe drain blockage cleared fast
"We used the Basingstoke branch, and I couldn't be happier. We had a severe blockage in our main waste pipe due to previous owners dumping grease for years. I called in the morning, they came just after lunch. The engineer was friendly and knowledgeable and explained every step thoroughly, cheerfully answering my questions (I'm curious about everything) and did the job quickly and with a great sense of humour, letting me fill the fatburgs that flowed out. Price was brilliant too. Couldn't recommend enough. "
Sewer clearance
"Cleared the pipe blockage between our house and the sewer main. Lovely guy visited, explained what he was doing and why and made sure all ran free before leaving."
Blocked drain and toilet
"Excellent service ! Rang on a Sunday and plumber then called me back that day to discuss and arrange appointment for next day . They accessed using side gate as I had to be at work. Sent text when done and invoice included photos and all work carried out . Very pleased. I even noticed the path had been swept down a bit. Invoice was prompt and easy to pay . Would recommend and use again if needed. Price was v fair I felt . I rang another company who had triple charge and needed to access my house which would have proved tricky if I am honest . Great service. Great company."

New frame & drain cover plus cement surround
"Lovely company to deal with. Friendly helpful staff. Contractors arrived on time & delivered exactly what we'd booked. Even though it was just drain cover it was finished off really nicely. Looks nice & smart again now. Thank you! "
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
"The blocked drain was identified quickly. The work was done very professionally and any mess cleaned up. Very happy with the service. "
Incredibly helpful
"Just moved into new home &found drains blocked. Water company said couldn't come out for 3-5 days, - too long if you can't use the loo! Left message for Gary. Even though it was Sunday, he called back really quickly and talked us through what problem might be, reassured us we'd be okay overnight, and if the water company still wasn't able to attend, he'd come out Monday to fix things. Thankfully, water company engineer very helpfully appeared at 6pm and cleared things. Gary called back early Monday to check on us, and was again so helpful. Couldn't ask for someone more helpful!"

Exterior drain investigation
"First class service, the person was very polite, clean and tidy. Showed me the video so I could see first hand what he was seeing."
Cleaning two separate internal waste pipes
"Great service .. and initial call referred me into a senior site engineer who discussed the feasibility and then referred me back to admin for the quotation. Great admin and a super quick and efficient job on site "
Unblock an outside drain
"The staff at the office very kind and well spoken.. The work was completed on time. Invoice sent on email with photographs before the job and after the work was completed. Perfect as I am a landlord and can't always attend when the repairs are taking place to see what was done. Thanks to happy drains I'm a happy landlord until the next job?... "

Kitchen external drain blocked, and now it's now.
"Good communication from the initial call, though to the engineer updating us on his arrival time. Quick clean job, a very professional service."
Downstairs loo and sink unblocking, by jetting upstream from manhole in the garden.
"Brilliant. From the first phone call to saying goodbye. Job explained, job completed and everything works perfectly. The young guy called Tommy from Sunbury was top drawer. Going to do this jetting annually now."
Quickest and easiest unblocking i've seen!
"After so many expensive quotes from other companies regarding a clogged drain outside our kitchen window - Happy Drains answered our questions on Checkatrade and gave us a set quote - After talking to them on the phone, the team were kind, honest and fully transparent about how the day would go - One of their team members (unfortunately didn't get his name) came over, took one look at the drain, unblocked it and was on his merry way! Will definitely be recommending this company to friends and family!! Thank you so much team!"
