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."
Map of the drains serving my property and their current state
"I am extremely happy with the works carried out by Tommy at Happy Drains. So pleased with the quality of their work, that I would only hire them for any other future drain jobs. Tommy was on time, very knowledgeable in everything he did and generous with his time; he explained everything to me and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend Happy Drains. "
Blocked kitchen gully
"Ben and Sean were excellent, cleared our blockage in no time, then checked further down the run and cleared a mass of roots from another manhole we had no idea had a problem. Punctual, polite and efficient. A job well done."
Bank Manager
"From start to finish the process of clearing our blocked drain and the ease of the online payment was brilliant."

Clearing a drain in our rear garden
"Very good service, engineer called about 20 minutes before arrival, arrived on time, friendly nice guy, professional. Fixed problem quickly, price quoted was fixed, no additional charges no matter what. Happy!"
Toilet drain unblocked in a matter of seconds
"Arrived on time, polite. Straight to work and resolved the issue promptly with no mess"
kitchen drain completely blocked
"Their service was exceptional. Very professional, and they solved the most important problem! Considering that two plumbers and Thames Water visited us but only tried to rush and squeeze extra money, resolving the problem partially. "
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!"

Blocked drain
"Work was carried out in a totally professional manner. Site was left clean and tidy. The issue was resolved in a timely manner."
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 "
Jetting blocked drain and clean up of surrounding area
"They were professional on the phone and throughout the process. The Engineer was polite, timely, explained what he'd do and said he'd clean up the area afterwards. Job was done perfectly and their price was considerably better than others and as such represented excellent value! Hope I won't need them again (?...) but should I do, they would be my automatic choice. Heartily and unreservedly recommend them based on our experience "
