Customer in Gosport
Great Service! Quick response! Well priced!
I have used Happy Drains Gosport a few times when the drains have been blocked. They are always quick to come out and they do a very good job. They left the area clean and tidy. They even email images of the issue with a full report which I personally find very helpful. They are well priced and I have no complaints at all. I would recommend them highly for anyone with a blocked drain.
Customer in Newbury
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.

Customer in Langport
CCTV down a well pipe
They kept me informed about the visit and the engineer turned up when he said. The work was carried out efficiently and under difficult circumstances as there had been a flood and it was quite difficult to manoeuvre his equipment as there were obstacles all over the place. The engineer was friendly, informative and courteous. He explained what he was doing as he went along. The advice was sound even though he had never encountered the situation . The report was clear and straightforward . I found this a very pleasant firm. I wish they had the expertise to deal with the well, I'd use them.

Survey of drainage
Very informative helping to discuss for potential building work.
Customer in Lee-On-The-Solent
Unblock an outside pipe
Unfortunately the pipe was blocked with concrete which appears to have happened when the garden fence was erected. However, the tradesman wrote the reason it was blocked on the invoice which helped when I contacted the tradesmen who erected the fence.

Blocked drain
Amazing service. I couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. I don't have his name but the young man who came took well over 2 hours to fix our problem which had accumulated over 40 years. He kept everything tidy, was courteous and professional and just when I thought we were going to be left with a major problem his persistence & experience saved the day.

Drain clearance
"I called Happy Drains to attend to an overflowing drain manhole in our front drive. Their response on the telephone was prompt, courteous and helpful. Their engineer arrived slightly earlier than arranged, after telephoning to confirm that this would be acceptable. He fixed the problem in less than 30 minutes, and checked that everything was satisfactory before leaving. "
Drain blockage
"I contacted Happy Drains to arrange for my mother's drain to be unblocked. It is stressful being 200 miles from my elderly mother, who struggles to maintain her home. I am very grateful to Happy Drains for such a seamless service, as they sorted out the issue in no time and provided good advice on next steps to avoid a repeat of the problem. "
Happy Drains = Happy Homeowner
"Fantastic service, drain was unblocked in no time. Mark was fantastic and professional. Thank you, price was great with no hidden cost. I had a builder who advised they may have to lift the tiles to get to the drain, luckily escaped that as I would have had to replace the entire kitchen "
Kitchen Sink Drain Blockage
"Telephoned Happy Drains early morning. Was told a technician would come to me late afternoon. He arrived at 4pm after telephoning to advise his arrival time. He asked where the blockage was and then got on with clearing it. No time wasted. Once the U bend had been taken apart the blockage was sucked out. Then the U bend was reassembled to show me the blockage had been cleared. All done very efficiently and effectively with very little mess being caused. I was very pleased and impressed."
